A big thanks!

To everyone who has helped build The Big Cartoon DataBase.

A compilation of this type is impossible to do alone. There are many sources we have tapped to get this information online, and to the many people who have helped us in the project, we say thanks. We could not have done it without you. At the risk of forgetting someone, we would like to thank the following people who have helped us compile this database.

Our goal is to make this database even stronger, more complete, and with fewer errors. If you notice any mistakes, please let us know! And if you have any information on a cartoon, one cartoon or thousands, please let us know so we can include it here.

Those who have helped

BCDB contributors

Members of the old BCDB who sent in cartoons, with the number of entries each one added. Thank you all!

Books

Various books have also been used for reference material, including Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies by Jerry Beck and Will Friedwald (it doesn't get better than that one, folks!), The History of Animation by Charles Solomon, Hanna-Barbera Cartoons by Michael Mallory, The Encyclopedia of Disney Characters by John Grant, My Life in 'Toons by Joe Barbera, Chuck Amuck and Chuck Reducks by Chuck Jones, and many others.

Today

Since BCDB came back online in 2026, some cast and crew information comes from The Movie Database (TMDB). This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Thanks also to the members of the old BCDB forum, whose discussions are preserved in the forum archive.

In closing

While these people, and many others, have given tirelessly of their time and information, any mistakes and omissions are purely ours. We have made every effort to make this list as complete as possible. But sometimes the information is just unavailable, or in conflict with other resources. We have made our best effort to choose the best source, but those choices have been ours, and thus the responsibility ours.

Of course, this list would be impossible without the thousands of men and women who made the cartoons we have listed here, and whose time and effort we are here to commemorate. So to those whose names we know, and the many more whose names we don't, this database is dedicated to you!

Finally, we would be remiss not to thank the technical people who helped us get the original list online. Alex Krohn of Gossamer Threads wrote the software that ran BCDB for many years, and a special word of thanks goes to Jerry the Widgetz and Pugdog.
