Enter ''[[Raw Toonage]]''.
 
Born from Disney's aquisition of the rights to the Belgian comic ''[[Marsupilami]]'', as well as the [[Development Hell]] that ''[[Bonkers]]'' was going through at the time, ''Raw Toonage'' was an [[Animated Anthology]] experiment that ran during the CBS Saturday Morning block in the USA and The Saturday Disney block on CityTV in Canada in the fall of 1992. The show's format essentially predated ''[[Animaniacs]]'' by one year (in fact, future ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' writer Tom Minton worked on the "Totally Tasteless Videos" segments), though ''Raw Toonage'' usually added a different [[Framing Device]] to the mix each week.
 
However, [[Short Runner|the show only lasted twelve episodes]] on CBS before being cancelled. It ultimately spawned two spinoffs, though: Disney's ''Marsupilami'', and ''[[Bonkers]]''.

=== ''[[Raw Toonage]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Animated Anthology]]
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FoDhrhGozE "Robin Hoof"] was essentially ''Raw Toonage'''s tribute to [[Jay Ward]].

* [[Furry Ear Dissonance]]: Bonkers' ears are shaped like golf clubs, despite him being (ostensibly) a bobcat.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Gary Owens as Badly Animated Man! [[Jim Cummings]] as...a lot of characters!
* [[Instant Wristwatch]] Several times (For example: Marsupilami did so in ''Jungle Fever'')
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbihjd3obp0 The opening theme song] sounds a ''lot'' like the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG_6CopW9GQ "Oh Yeah"] by Yello.
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: A few episodes and segments can be found on [[YouTube]].
