United Cartoons: Building A Nation of Animation

The United Cartoons (UC or UCA) is an inter-company media entertainment organization with the aim to create and promote crossovers between media franchises, both currently and historically popular, primarily in the genre of animation. It also maintains co-existence, cooperation, security, and peace among the characters of these franchises, through drawing, animating, writing, and sharing stories about them meeting one another, and having adventures with plots based on their common traits.

The United Cartoons’ two greatest goals are to have its shared stories about diverse sets of cartoons characters coming together in ways that can serve to not only the peoples’ entertainment and nostalgia, but to also serve as examples for how real-world societies can and should act – by embracing the coexistence of others of different places, looks, cultures, and backgrounds, by having the courage to seek justice & truth, by hoping for communities to be more unified and peaceful, and most importantly, by treating and helping others with friendship, kindness & love.

Under this title, I want to write, draw, and then post on social media my own webcomics, animatics, and animations featuring crossovers between many cartoons. However, not all cartoons are guaranteed to be added to the United Cartoons, since I decided a long time ago it would be best if the cartoons that did come together shared these five main criteria:

1. If the cartoons are globally recognized and/or iconic
2. if the cartoons are universally beloved now, or ever were
3. if the cartoons have similar settings (to make crossovers between them easier to write)
4. if the cartoons’ main characters are likely to get along/be good friends based on personalities
5. if the cartoons’ messages are family-friendly, in terms of moral values & with limits on adults-only content

The list you just read above, as you’d notice, did not mention which companies the characters need to come from. This is because it would apply to cartoons from nearly ANY company within the animation industry.

Now, if you’re having skeptical thoughts about this, I might understand why. I’ve had debates with friends before about intercompany crossovers being plausible, citing corporate competition as a possible block.

But yet, we know from various media outlets that corporate COOPERATION has allowed such crossovers before, like some DC/Marvel comic books,

and the blockbuster classic film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”, where Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck (Disney) shared scenes together with Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck (Warner Bros): as seen below:

What I’d like for the United Cartoons to do is make crossovers into more of a normalized and mainstream form of animation; this move would tap into its real potential to entertain audiences by including more characters than WFRR did, by having them crossover easier and much more often, a goal I plan to reach with the “Justice Toons” series. My longer-term goals for the UC would be to help work on animated shows that were canceled years ago to possibly have series return and/or reboot for new generations, if enough fans love & miss them. I’d also love to have my creative writings focus on making learning fun for kids, & on the equality & empowerment of women & racial minorities, through the examples characters can set in my stories for the young & old.
