Line #15 Creator/EncoreCartoons


1	'''Encore Cartoons''' was a very obscure American animation studio which only worked on three episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (those episodes being "Strange Tales of Weird Science", "Hero Hamton" and "Looniversity Daze"). According to Tom Ruegger, it was located in Nevada, making it one of three domestic studios to work on the show (the others being Creator/KennedyCartoons and [[Creator/JonMcClenahan StarToons]]). That said, all three episodes were inked, painted and shot by Creator/FilCartoons.

3	It was allegedly run by Bill Hutten and Tony Love, though it is unknown who the animators were (as usual for closing credits in this time period, it only listed the animation studio and not specific animators). It is ''also'' rumored that the company is related to Encore Enterprises, who did numerous TV specials and the 1997 version of ''Chucklewood Critters'', though this hasn't been confirmed.

6	!!Tropes associated with Encore Cartoons:
7	* AlanSmithee: On "Pit Bullied" and "The Toxic Revenger".
8	* AnimationBump: Occasionally:
9	** In "Hero Hamton", [[https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/143569 Hamton accidentally opening his locker on Montana Max and proceeding to clean him up.]] [[https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/166122 Also his coughing fit later on.]]
10	** In "The Toxic Revenger", the clog dance that ends the episode.
11	* DependingOnTheArtist: Very much. This is further exacerbated because all ''three'' episodes feature animation by Kennedy Cartoons to fill in some gaps[[note]]possibly because Encore's work was poor quality[[/note]].
12	* DerangedAnimation: The slow-mo "Furrball gets rehabilitated" sequence in "Pit Bullied".
13	* EnhancedOnDVD: Zig-zagged. "Looniversity Daze" contains three sequences where Creator/JonMcClenahan did some retake animation to replace lower quality Encore work. One of his sequences made it onto the version that was released on DVD (that is, Hamton asking Buster to beg for mercy when he goes to the principal's office). However, for the other two sequences (Buster's "That's my name, don't wear it out" in the same short, and Sweetie being smashed by a hammer in "Eating Between the Lines"), the original Encore animation is what made it onto DVD, much to the annoyance of fans.
14	* IronicName: Not only did Encore not do any more work for ''Tiny Toons'' after their three episodes, but their work was criticized by fans- neither hardly representative of the word "encore".
15	* LimitedAnimation: There are sequences where only a character's mouth moves- an example in "Scentimental Pig", when Hamton says, "Must have been a music critic."
16	* OneBookAuthor: If Encore Cartoons isn't related to Encore Enterprises, that is.
17	* StockFootage: An odd example: The opening of "Strange Tales of Weird Science" (that is, Elmyra forcing Buster and Babs to play with her) was actually stock footage, though wasn't used in any aired episode. It was originally intended for "The Looney Beginning", but was cut for time. Since "Weird Science" was running short, this bit was inserted into the episode and had some new dialog ADR'd into the scene to change the context that Buster and Babs are late starting the show because they're being hounded by Elmyra. It's easy to tell this footage was meant for another episode, however, because it was animated by Kennedy and Creator/WangFilmProductions, while "Weird Science" was by Encore.
