Jollytoons Kids

***Jollytoons Kids*** is an American animated television series, co-produced by Mala Miles Productions and Paramount Television Animation, starring the child friend cartoons Jollytoons as children. The show premiered in 1988 and continued airing until 1993. It began airing as the first program of the Paramount Kids on July 23, 1988.

Part of it is similar to *Pink Panther and Pals, Tom and Jerry Kids* and *Garfield and Friends*.

## History

The series was a co-production of DiC, Mala Miles Productions, Paramount Toon Studios. (which had bought the *Jollytoons* franchise from 20th Century Fox in 1985). Parent company Program Exchange would buy the DiC studios in late 1991 starting with the third season. Perhaps the most notable differences from the classic shorts are the pair's appearances (and ages). before shifting focus toward producing shows specifically for Cartoon Network.

### Cartoon Network airings

In 1993, Fox Kids canceled the series, but it soon began airing in reruns on Cartoon Network (which Turner launched to showcase its large animation library, including the original *Jollytoons*) in 1995, and ended in 2006 when the show was removed from the Cartoon Network schedule and instead moved over to its sibling network Boomerang, where it was re-aired until 2014. Cartoon Network in the UK also did reruns in 1995 but ended in 2002 due to the networks changing to its Casillas era. It was soon moved to Boomerang the following month. Cartoon Network Too removed the show from their lineup in 2009. In certain countries, the Mouse Trapz Kids shorts have aired separately on Boomerang.
