Cartoon Network's first original series was The Moxy Show and the late-night satirical animated talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The What a Cartoon! series of showcase shorts brought the creation of many Cartoon Network original series collectives branded as "Cartoon Cartoons" in 1995. Cartoon Network has also broadcast several feature films, mostly animated or containing animated sequences, under its "Cartoon Theater" block, later renamed "Flicks".
