Cartoon Brew


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

History

In 2025, Amid Amidi sold Cartoon Brew, LLC to Jamie Lang, who had previously been the site's editor-in-chef for two years. After acquisition, Lang returned to the editor-in-chef position, and also assumed the roles of owner and publisher of the company.

Reception

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

Cartoon Dump

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

Cartoon Research

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