The Cartoonstitute project was to be similar to The Cartoon Cartoon Show (also known as the "What a Cartoon! Show") which aired on the network more than a decade earlier and gave birth to some of the channel's first animated series, such as Dexter's Laboratory and Cow and Chicken. The Cartoonstitute was to establish a think tank and create an environment in which animators can create characters and stories.

The Cartoonstitute was a Cartoon Network project created by Cartoon Network executive Rob Sorcher to be a showcase for animated shorts created without the interference of network executives and focus testing. It was headed by Craig McCracken (creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot).
