A Quiet Day in the Park

A Quiet Day in the Park is a Johnny Bravo animated short from Cartoon Network Studios. It was released on July 18, 2008 along with the theatrical film Camp Lazlo The Movie.

Synopsis
Johnny Bravo spends a nice quiet day in the park with his neighbor Little Suzy, but they can't chill because of the loud noises.

Plot
The episode begins with Johnny Bravo getting ready to go chill at the park. He combs his hair, puts on his shades and gets dressed in his clothes, but when he hears Little Suzy coming, he had no choice but to let his neighbor chill with him. They arrive at the park, and get ready to relax on a bench. Johnny Bravo reads the newpaper while Little Suzy plays with her dolly, but then some noises have occurred. So the only way they can enjoy the rest of the quiet day is to block out the noise in any way they can. They use noise cancelling headphones, but then they short circuit, so they use ear plugs, but the noise grew so louder, it made the plugs fall out of their ears. Every attempt they tried failed, so they used pillows. After that, they go get ice cream, ending the episode.

Production
The short was partially produced using a new "paperless" production pipeline for Cartoon Network, the first major change in production technique for hand-drawn animation at Cartoon Network, which is similar to the introduction of CAPS at Disney, and was also an attempt to see if the new digital animation tools could be used to produce a short with the same graphic look as that of a 1990s cartoon. Instead of animating with pencil on paper, some of the animators, such as Robert Alvarez, worked on Wacom's cintiq tablets along with Toon Boom Harmony for the animation, while other animators such as Kirk Tingblad and Aaron Crippen continued to work in the traditional method with pencil on paper. About 50% of the short was done using the new paperless technique.
