| 4 | ''Cartoon Monsoon'' is an UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash anthology webseries created by Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation as the last of their many experiments with internet animation during the early 2000s. The series ran from March 4th, 2003 to September 20th, 2004. |

| 6 | ''Cartoon Monsoon'' was produced with a similar intent as other contemporary animated anthologies such as ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'': that is, bypassing focus groups to simply show {{pilot}}s directly to the target audience, and greenlighting the most popular ones, with the added benefit of Flash animation and internet distribution making it a much cheaper expense than those two examples. |

| 8 | Despite both seasons having announced "winners" -- Season 1's ''Go Go Moba Boy!'' and Season 2's ''Edgar and the Voyagers'' -- both shows were ultimately scrapped in production, though the former would see [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion an extended pilot episode made]]. |

| 12 | !!''Cartoon Monsoon'' shows examples of the following tropes: |
| 13 | * AnimatedAnthology: Of the "variety show" nature. Every episode consisted of a three-minute short, with each of the eventual nineteen shows getting two shorts. |
| 14 | * DomesticOnlyCartoon: Though not at Warner Bros. Animation in Burbank, California; just like [[WebAnimation/LoboWebseries their two]] [[WebAnimation/GothamGirls DC Comics]] webseries, the animation was outsourced to [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros Noodle Soup Productions]] in New York City. |
| 15 | * MultiPartEpisode: ''Go Go Moba Boy'', ''Zatanna'', ''That's My Boys'', and ''Gorilla Girl'' from Season 1, plus every show in Season 2, were two-parters. |
