'''''Johnny Bravo''''' is an American animated comedy TV series produced by [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Cartoons]] (seasons 1-3) and [[Cartoon Network Studios]] (season 4) for [[Cartoon Network]]. It ran from [[1990s#1997|1997]] to [[2000s#2004|2004]], airing 65 episodes.
'''''Johnny Bravo''''' is an American animated comedy television series created by [[Van Partible]]. It was produced at [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Cartoons]] (seasons 1-3) and [[Cartoon Network Studios]] (season 4) for [[Cartoon Network]]. It ran from [[1997]] to [[2004]], airing 65 episodes that spanned four seasons, as well as four specials (with two of them post-series).


In [[Aron City]], lives a young man called Johnny Bravo, who seems to have the full package on the service, being tall, muscular, wears rather cool sunglasses, an Elvis Presley-esque voice, and has a unique yellow pompadour, but is also a dimwitted, chauvinistic manchild, who's attempt to get a date leads him into bizarre and almost always violent situations.
In [[Aron City]], lives a young man called [[Johnny Bravo (character)|Johnny Bravo]], who seems to have the full package on the surface; being muscular, wearing sunglasses, and having a unique yellow pompadour. But underneath his macho physique is a dimwitted, self-absorbed, chauvinistic manchild, whose attempt to get a date leads him into bizarre and almost brutal situations. He lives with his [[Bunny Bravo|sassy mother]], and is often accompanied by an eclectic array of close friends he believes cramp his style and real-life celebrity guest stars.

While attending Loyola Marymount University in 1993, Van Partible produced "Mess O' Blues" as a senior thesis project; an animated short film about an Elvis Presley impersonator.<ref>Van Partible, Jeff Bennett, Butch Hartman, John McIntyre; et al. (2010). ''Johnny Bravo: Season One''. ''Special Features: Bringing Up Johnny Bravo'' (DVD). Warner Home Video.</ref> His animation teacher showed the film to a friend working at Hanna-Barbera, where it was loved by the studio. They asked Partible to develop it into a pitch for a seven-minute short, prompting him to sell the project to Hanna-Barbera.<ref>Azar, Philip (2010-04-28). [https://archive.today/20130103132307/http://www.laloyolan.com/entertainment/lmu-originated-johnny-bravo-on-dvd-1.2243967 "LMU-originated 'Johnny Bravo' on DVD"]. Los Angeles Loyolan.

For the new short (titled "[[Johnny Bravo (pilot)|Johnny Bravo]]"), Partible redesigned the Elvis-like character of "Mess O' Blues" and renamed him "Johnny Bravo". He also made the character into what he described as "this '50s iconic, James Dean-looking character that talked like Elvis." Michael Jackson's heavy use of whip snaps and cracks (like in ''Captain EO'') was an inspiration for whenever Johnny strikes a pose.<ref>Partible, Van (June 21, 2010).

Johnny Bravo is an American animated comedy television series created by Van Partible. It was produced at Hanna-Barbera Cartoons (seasons 1-3) and Cartoon Network Studios (season 4) for Cartoon Network. It ran from 1997 to 2004, airing 65 episodes that spanned four seasons, as well as four specials (with two of them post-series).

In Aron City, lives a young man called Johnny Bravo, who seems to have the full package on the surface; being muscular, wearing sunglasses, and having a unique yellow pompadour. But underneath his macho physique is a dimwitted, self-absorbed, chauvinistic manchild, whose attempt to get a date leads him into bizarre and almost brutal situations. He lives with his sassy mother, and is often accompanied by an eclectic array of close friends he believes cramp his style and real-life celebrity guest stars.

Production

Development

While attending Loyola Marymount University in 1993, Van Partible produced "Mess O' Blues" as a senior thesis project; an animated short film about an Elvis Presley impersonator.[1] His animation teacher showed the film to a friend working at Hanna-Barbera, where it was loved by the studio. They asked Partible to develop it into a pitch for a seven-minute short, prompting him to sell the project to Hanna-Barbera.[2]

For the new short (titled "Johnny Bravo"), Partible redesigned the Elvis-like character of "Mess O' Blues" and renamed him "Johnny Bravo". He also made the character into what he described as "this '50s iconic, James Dean-looking character that talked like Elvis." Michael Jackson's heavy use of whip snaps and cracks (like in Captain EO) was an inspiration for whenever Johnny strikes a pose.[3]

Casting

Segments

  • Johnny Bravo
  • Jungleboy (1997)

Music

Throughout the series, Louis Fagenson's opening theme song was kept, but his ending theme was only used for the first and fourth seasons. He was also the composer for the first and fourth seasons. For the second and third seasons, Fagenson had been replaced with Christopher Neal Nelson, who performed the music and the ending theme. For the first season, Bodie Chandler was the director of music production.
