Cartoon Network jumped into the awards season fray with the “1st 13th Annual Fancy Anvil Awards Show Program Special: Live In Stereo” on Saturday, March 23, 2002, from 7 to 9 p.m. Host Johnny Bravo is joined by a cavalcade of stars scheduled to present during the Fancy Anvil awards ceremony for an unforgettable night honoring outstanding achievements in cartoon excellence and quirkiness.
The program features red carpet arrivals, peculiar awards categories, rambling speeches, cheesy music, celebrity cameos and the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement award to the hardest working dog in show business, Scooby-Doo. New Scooby-Doo Movies co-stars Jonathan Winters, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Phyllis Diller and Davy Jones accompanied Sandy Duncan in honoring the beloved canine.
In a more somber segment, Cartoon Network and its stars took a moment to honor Bill Hanna and his incredible achievements to animated entertainment during a tribute highlighting his remarkable career. Hanna’s precise comedic timing, along with Joe Barbera’s strong animation skills, fostered the careers of cherished cartoon favorites.
Finally, the evening culminated with the awarding of the night’s highest honor, The Fancy Anvil in the Best Cartoon category. The nominees ranged from classic shorts to contemporary favorites.
