[edit] The Disney Afternoon
It quickly gained notoriety around the Internet for its work on the first season of Tiny Toon Adventures. Disney subcontracted to them for many of their Disney Afternoon shows. In addition, their character designs more closely matched the other studios, which was a problem on Tiny Toons.[citation needed]
[edit] Glen Kennedy and other animators
The animation director for Kennedy Cartoons was almost always Glen Kennedy, who also was the animation director for A Pup Named Scooby Doo in the late '80s. Many of Kennedy's animation quirks on the Tiny Toons episodes can be seen in A Pup Named Scooby Doo, despite it being animated by Wang Film Productions and Cuckoo's Nest.[citation needed] On a select few episodes of Tiny Toons such as "Who Bopped Bugs Bunny", the animation director was Namkook Lee.[citation needed]
Dan Lee, another Kennedy Cartoons animator, went on to Pixar before his death in 2005.
