Foxtoons

Not to be confused with the real-life PC gaming company Fox Toons Interactive

 is a franchise of theatrical shorts and full-length feature films created by a former Looney Tunes director Frank Tashlin, later Rocky and Bullwinkle creator Jay Ward, and the cartoon producer TBA, produced by Century City Animation Productions, and released by starting from 1945 to 1978, then got revived in 2018. Influenced by Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy and Warner Bros' Looney Tunes, Fox decided to start producing theatrical cartoons. This would be after the success of the Terrytoons cartoons. Due to the monster success of the shorts, Fox started a franchise that includes characters that are part of the Foxtoons. M.J. Walrus was the first franchise ever to be created.

The studio that produced the series Century City Animation Productions, founded by TBA, and Frank Tashlin, based in Los Angeles, CA, on September 2, 1945.

In 1947, Frank Tashlin left Century City Animation Productions to work on live-action films, and in 1948, Jay Ward also left the studio to open his own animation company which he later created Rocky and Bullwinkle, Jay Ward Productions (currently known as Bullwinkle Studios and now a subsidiary to DreamWorks Classics), TBA

In 1978, Fox announced that Foxtoons would no longer have theatrical short films due to them focusing more on cartoons for television, and also, the Century City Animation Productions was closed its doors forever on December 31, 1978.

On 2017, Disney announced its intentions to acquire 21st Century Fox, pending regulatory approval. If the deal is approved, Foxtoons would now also be owned by The Walt Disney Company. Nine days prior to the announcement, Fox announced that the Foxtoons theatrical short films will be revived in 2018. The animation for the new Foxtoons shorts are provided by both Digital eMation and Fox Cartoons, Inc.
