Golden Age Cartoons

Golden Age Cartoons

Golden Age Cartoons (or GAC) is a website dedicated to classic American animation from the silent, Golden Age, and early television periods. This encompasses works from Disney, Warner Bros. (Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), MGM, Fleischer Studios, Columbia, UPA, Sullivan (Felix the Cat), DePatie-Freleng (The Pink Panther) and others.

Golden Age Cartoons was created when the majority of classic cartoon-based websites (along with their collective message forum, The Termite Terrace Trading Post) broke away from Toon Zone to form their own Internet community. The break was caused by disputes between classic and modern animation fans when Cartoon Network began to stop airing classic cartoons in favor of original work and children's programming.

GAC debuted on August 18, 2004 and was originally formed by The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Information Page (est. 1996), The Walter Lantz Cartune Encyclopedia (2002), The Too Looney Page (1998), and The Columbia Crow's Nest (2004). The Classic Felix the Cat Page (1995; the only website not to have come from Toon Zone) and The DePatie-Freleng Website (2003) eventually joined as well. Golden Age Funnies and Classic Cartoon Records debuted as new websites on GAC in 2004.
