Cartoon Brew is an animation news website created by Amid Amidi and animation historian Jerry Beck that was launched on 15 March 2004.[2]

Cartoon Dump[edit]

It also created Cartoon Dump, a weekly podcast showing poorly made TV cartoons featuring Mystery Science Theater 3000's Frank Conniff. [3]

Reception[edit]

The site has published news articles, commentaries and reviews regarding the animation industry.[4] The Comics Beat called it the "essential cartoon blog",[5] while animator Francis Glebas cited it as "the place to go for the latest in animation news".[6][7]

Cartoon Research[edit]

Beck departed from the site in February 2013 and began writing for his first blog, Cartoon Research, instead.[7][8][9]
