## History and production

With the release of *CartoonMania: The Movie* on September 20, 2019, Matthew Littlemore decided it would be the end of the original *CartoonMania* run. He had previously released new character designs on July 8, 2019 on his Twitter account and had revealed his plans for the reboot in "*CartoonMania Reboot First Look*", which was also published to Twitter on September 9, 2019. The voices for the main cast used in the movie were set to reprise their roles for the reboot.

The series was to be animated in OpenOffice likes its predecessor, despite looking into alternatives. He had turned down any other software that was offered.

### Controversy and future

In June 2020, due to controversy regarding Matthew's behavior behind the scenes, many of the cast and production members abandoned work on the series, leaving its future uncertain. In July 2020, Matthew deactivated several of his social media accounts and announced he will never be returning to social media, making the series unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future.

Matthew has since returned to his YouTube channel as of February 2022, however has not given any updates on the reboot.

## Trivia

* It will take place sometime after the events of "*CartoonMania: The Movie*".
* Despite being a complete retooling of the series, it will have references from the original shorts and movie. Among the elements is the return of Lucifer Killingsworth, albeit in demonic form.
* Many characters will have different designs from the original:
	+ The characters now have a slimmer, cleaner and thicker line-width as well as a flat, symmetric depth as opposed to the series and movie where the characters' outlines are relatively thin, jagged and pixeled with a third dimension to them. The characters also lack shading unlike the original series and movie. Whether or not shading will be implanted on the final designs or if the original animation procedure used in the original series and movie has yet to be announced.
	+ Apart from Matthew, all of the other main characters now have 4 fingers instead of 5.
	+ Matthew, instead of having the classic orange shirt, yellow pants and red shoes will have a gold shirt, brown pants and dark brown shoes.
	+ Timmy will be taller, a darker shade of orange and will have white fluff on his head and tail.
	+ Penny will go from a green dress and red bow to both the dress and bow being pink.
	+ JoJo will have a lighter shade of purple pants and skin (making her mouth more visible), her shirt will no longer have the number 8 on it and she will now wear a pair of glasses. She also now has a tail that she is too embarrassed to show everyone.
	+ Stanley will have a shorter beard and shorter hair; he has also been given bendier legs compared to the straight legs of his original design.
	+ Victor and Tanya are the only main characters who remain mostly unchanged from the original series; though Victor has a simplified texture compared to the original binary text pattern he originally sported. Additionally, his face has been redesigned (with help from Davetoons) to look more cartoony.
	+ Mr. Incredibone's palette will be slightly toned down.
	+ Some of the beak palettes for the Duck Brothers such as Wacky Quacky and Macky Quacky have a slight different hue.
	+ Chickenwizard's outfit will have a darker shade of purple and his fur will have a lighter shade of orange.
	+ Captain McMallard will get a new Captain's Hat with an orange feather, a new beard, as well as a new jacket. His boat, the McMallard, will also be dark black with yellow highlights.
	+ Xavier and Leonard will wear glasses and lab cats to openly show their scientist based personalities.
	+ Roland RG-402 Space Gecko will have alien probes for ears.

* Matthew's video "Toon Lake City CartoonMania Con 2019" reveals several aspects on what to expect from the reboot:
* The pilot episode will reveal how Matthew discovered the Animated Life Form Printer 3000 and how he developed the characters with it.
	+ The StickFigure Brothers will have their own segment in the show, and will openly use their school-supply based vehicle which was only shown in the opening.

	+ A Western theme segment, which will star The Rooster Twins.
	+ Mr. Incredibone will be a recurring character, he will be protecting the house and fighting off foes.
	+ Wacky Quacky and his duck brothers will get their own segment "doing duck things and what not".
	+ Penny will be a magician in a magic based episode starring her and ChickenWizard who teaches Penny magic, which would lead to disasterous results since she wouldn't be in control of her own spells, something that has been explored previously in the comics.
	+ Matthew notes a lot of this will be "Season 1 stuff".
	+ Captain McMallard has a design change. He has a beard, new Captain's hat with an orange feather, new coat and his ship "S.S. Maellard" will also be dark black with yellow highlights. Stanley will be on McMallard's crew for a pirate themed episode.
