He also explored the people and studios that created these cartoons. Plus, he looked at the whole history of cartoons.

Exploring Cartoon Worlds

Unlike some other cartoon shows, Tony Robinson wanted to share lots of information. He didn't just show cartoons. He gave viewers a deeper look at the topic each week. This meant the show covered many different cartoons. It went beyond just the most famous ones. Sometimes, Stay Tooned! even featured cartoons that were not as well known. These included classic characters like Betty Boop. It also showed films like Animal Farm. The show even featured cartoons made by independent creators.
