Samurai Jack
Created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network, Jack is a time-displaced samurai whose mission in life is to travel back to his time and defeat the tyrannical demon Aku. Known for its distinctive style, Samurai Jack is what caused Lucasfilm to recruit Tartakovsky to direct the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series.
