Kubokartoonz

Kubokartoonz is a Kuboian animated studio founded in September 1987 by Ashley Maverick and Harlow Morrison. It was the first animated studio to be founded in Kuboia, and has produced several television series and specials that have received critical acclaim and spawned a lot of merchandise.

Themes
Kubokartoonz' programmes are often characterised by high-quality 2D visuals and animation, fantasy elements in a realistic setting, high-budget soundtracks, serial formats, a mixture of dark and lighthearted storylines and wholesome social lessons.

A majority of the studio's works are targeted towards younger children whilst featuring humour and plotlines that an older audience would appreciate. However, one of their most popular works, Magma Eye, is aimed at an older audience. Ashley Maverick states that their content "is for everyone, no matter who you are".

All television series produced by the company have been done in traditional animation.

Kubokartoonz World
A chain of retail store based on the studio's franchises titled Kubokartoonz World was launched in 1998, beginning with the launch of two chains in Reichetto and Fahrbahnin the same year. The stores sell a wide variety of merchandise based on Kubokartoonz' television series, including clothing, posters, DVDs and VHSes and other items. Most chains also contain restaurants as well as some non-Kubokartoonz branded items in order to make using merchandise more convenient.

Since its launch, the Kubokartoonz World brand has operated outside of Kuboia, with a limited number of chains (usually two or less) currently open in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, and the United States.

Reception
Kubokartoonz are often credited for popularising Kuboian animation, with some of their works, such as The Incredible World of Riddles, The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets and Magma Eye, maintaining high cult status worldwide, even decades after their series ended production. Harlow Morrison argued that being the first Kuboian cartoon studio gave them an advantage, in addition to focusing more on production values than most non-Kuboian studios did at the time.

Legacy
In 2019, BBC referred to Kubokartoonz as the Kuboian version of The Walt Disney Company, citing the studio as having "a very long-lasting legacy thanks to its wide range of culture-orientated and high quality animated series".
