00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the coolest team-ups between
00:11cartoon properties.
00:20Number 20. Rugrats Go Wild, Rugrats and the Wild Thornberries
00:25By 2003, both the Rugrats and the Thornberries had earned a trip to theaters.
00:30So how could Nickelodeon possibly top that?
00:33Look! It's Nigel's strawberry! We found it here!
00:38Great! Good one! A gaggle of babies!
00:40With a theatrically released crossover film, naturally.
00:44Go Wild follows the diaper-clad gang as they get stranded on an island, coincidentally running into the Thornberry crew.
00:50You can probably guess what happens next.
00:52Like, the jokes simply write themselves.
00:54The zany Thornberries bounce off the babbling toddlers so well,
00:58it's a wonder how no one thought to have them interact before.
01:01Now I'm a giant kitty cat with lots of pointy two-pies.
01:07Don't worry, guys. Nigel's strawberry plays with wild aminals all the time.
01:13He'll get us out of this scrape.
01:15Having it all go down on the big screen is just the cherry on top.
01:19Number 19. Tom and Jerry Spy Quest
01:21Tom and Jerry and Johnny Quest
01:23You'd think slapstick humor and Cold War espionage would go together as well as toothpaste and orange juice.
01:29But against all odds, this crossover film does justice by its Hanna-Barbera properties.
01:34Hey, I'm sorry. He didn't mean any harm.
01:37It would seem that Bandit is not a big fan of cats.
01:41The plot is totally bonkers in the best way, featuring moments like Tom dooming the heroes in the name of
01:47getting a meal.
01:48The real magic, though, comes in the form of how it honors both of its namesake heroes.
01:52As the first Johnny Quest project made after the death of its creators, this zany mishmash is more than a
01:58fun romp.
02:00My, my, look what the cat dragged in.
02:03It is a love letter to one of animation's greatest contributors.
02:07Number 18. TTG v. PPG
02:10Teen Titans Go and the Powerpuff Girls
02:12There is no such thing as too much super-powered spandex.
02:16When the JV Justice League comes up against Sugar Spice and everything nice, fireworks and humor ensue.
02:22Thank heavens! The Powerpuff Girls!
02:24Who are the odd floating color-coordinated children?
02:27The Powerpuff Girls!
02:29That's right! How did you know?
02:32The voice! The voice!
02:33There's a great bit where Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup compete against Robin, Starfire, and Raven to see who's the best
02:40hero team.
02:40But the funniest gag is seeing Beast Boy and Cyborg unwittingly help Mojo Jojo because, of course, they trust a
02:47fellow green monkey.
02:48Now it is time to unveil my army of cybernetically enhanced battle monkeys!
02:57Monkey party! Monkey, monkey party!
02:59It all comes to a head with a delightfully silly conclusion that has us wishing the Powerpuff Girls could sleep
03:05over at Titan's Tower more often.
03:07Number 17. The Whole Show
03:09Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
03:11Everyone needs a lawyer on call for emergencies, and we do mean everyone.
03:16What happens when the Scooby Gang or Yogi Bear need legal representation?
03:20They call Harvey Birdman.
03:22Mr. Yogi, can you tell us the title of this book?
03:25Hey, hey, I'm not much of a reader type.
03:27Oh, no matter. Just tell us the title.
03:29I, uh, can't read.
03:33Every episode follows him defending Hanna-Barbera characters in the court of law.
03:36And yes, it's as insanely awesome as it sounds.
03:39We never tire of the revolving door of guest stars, especially since each case finds clever ways to wink at
03:45the original series.
03:46What is that?
03:48That? Uh, that's the jury.
03:51Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I don't think so.
03:58Much better.
03:59If courtroom dramas aren't your speed, Attorney at Law is actually a spin-off of the equally great Space Ghost
04:05Coast to Coast, which puts cartoon characters in a late-night talk show.
04:09Number 16. Future Shock
04:13It's all about the timing for Virgil Hawkins, who finds himself catapulted 40 years into the future to face a
04:19new villain threat.
04:21Luckily, he has help from the caped crusader.
04:24Ever since that accident, I've been expecting this moment.
04:27Two of them, actually.
04:30With Bruce Wayne retired, it's hotshot Terry McGinnis behind the cowl.
04:34Not only does this give Virgil another teen hero to relate to, but it also lets Static Shock play in
04:39DC's wider sandbox for the first time, too.
04:42At a baseline, though, this is just a great action-packed episode of TV.
04:46What have we here? A failed cloning attempt? A mini-Static?
04:56Yeah, mini-alright.
04:59Who doesn't love seeing Static Shock and Batman dole out some justice?
05:03Number 15. Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue
05:06Various
05:07The roster here is staggering.
05:09You've got the Smurfs. You've got the Chipmunks. You've got Looney Tunes.
05:13You want more?
05:14Okay, how about ALF, the Muppets, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
05:18Still not satisfied?
05:20Fine, it's even got Winnie the freakin' Pooh.
05:22Oh my goodness.
05:25I'm not late for breakfast.
05:27Am I?
05:28What could possibly warrant such a massive collection of iconic animated heroes?
05:32Well, they're all gathered to fight
05:34substance use disorder.
05:36Okay, full disclosure, this is definitely one of those
05:38after-school specials all about making good choices.
05:41But its intentions are good,
05:42and quite frankly, seeing all these characters together
05:45is worth the price of admission on its own.
05:47Listen to me, Mikey.
05:49I think I've listened to you long enough.
05:52Number 14. Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
05:55DC Comics and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
05:58The title kind of says it all, huh?
06:00Based on an acclaimed comic book miniseries,
06:03this animated crossover film gives you exactly what you want.
06:06You picked the wrong battle, warrior.
06:09Who are you?
06:11And why are you in Gotham?
06:14Action, Turtles, and Batman,
06:16all together in a story guaranteed to have you saying cowabunga.
06:19Pitting Batman's wits against the Turtles' unconventional sense of humor
06:23is just too much fun to pass up.
06:24Their namesake brawl is certainly a highlight,
06:27but as cheesy as it sounds,
06:29it's the moment they all join forces against the villains
06:31that really takes the pizza.
06:33Shredder is mine.
06:35I think you forgot how our last encounter played out.
06:47Typical.
06:48Batman sends children to do his work for him.
06:51As exciting as it is to see our heroes duke it out,
06:54nothing tops a good old-fashioned half-shell team-up.
06:57Number 13.
06:58Crossover Nexus
06:59OK KO, Let's Be Heroes, and Various
07:02When a nefarious villain named Strike
07:05begins targeting Cartoon Network villains,
07:07KO realizes it'll take a whole team to bring the crook down.
07:10And as long as we're together,
07:11nothing can stop us!
07:13Good pip-tap, bro!
07:14So, he recruits the help of Garnet,
07:17Ben 10, and Teen Titans Raven.
07:19If you think that roster is impressive,
07:21just wait.
07:22The episode crams in cameos
07:23from all sorts of Cartoon Network veterans,
07:26from deep cuts to niche fan favorites
07:27and everyone in between.
07:29It's a high-energy crossover
07:30full of action and spectacle,
07:32but it's seeing how many Easter eggs
07:34they filled each frame with
07:35that makes this one of the network's
07:36greatest episodes, period.
07:48Number 12.
07:49Totally Mystery Much
07:50Totally Spies
07:52and Martin Mystery
07:53When an alleged yeti starts terrorizing
07:55a ski resort,
07:56Sam, Alex, and Clover hop on the case.
07:59But they aren't the only ones.
08:00I'm not a geek!
08:02I'm Martin Mystery,
08:03paranormal investigator extraordinaire!
08:05Martin Mystery is already there,
08:07bringing his expertise of the supernatural
08:09to totally spies.
08:10And yeah, it is totally amazing.
08:13While Martin's paranormal knowledge
08:15is a big help,
08:16the best part of this episode
08:17is seeing his relationship
08:18with each of the girls.
08:19He's initially smitten with Clover,
08:21thinks Sam is like his stepsister,
08:23and then ends up hitting it off with Alex.
08:26Oh boy!
08:27The center!
08:29Sorry, Alex.
08:30I gotta run.
08:31Wait!
08:33Hey!
08:33Hi!
08:34Oh no!
08:35Martin?
08:36It's hilarious,
08:37lighthearted,
08:38and totally in character.
08:40It's a compliment to say
08:41the yeti is the least interesting part
08:43of this case.
08:44Number 11.
08:45Phineas and Ferb,
08:46Mission Marvel.
08:47Phineas and Ferb,
08:48and Marvel.
08:49There are some new recruits
08:51to the Avengers.
08:52They may look small,
08:53but they make up for it
08:54with brains.
08:55Is that one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s?
08:56No.
08:57It's theirs.
08:58Man,
08:59that kid's got a weird-shaped head.
09:01After Doofenshmirtz's latest scheme
09:03robs the Marvel heroes
09:04of their powers,
09:05it's up to Phineas and the gang
09:06to set things right.
09:07It's a heroic package,
09:08all right,
09:09brimming with fun interactions,
09:11high-octane fights,
09:12and musical numbers.
09:13We've had
09:14My Evil Buddies and Me
09:15stuck in our heads for years,
09:17and we are okay with that.
09:18My Evil Buddies and Me
09:23Phineas and Ferb's time
09:24in the galaxy far, far away
09:26is another noteworthy crossover,
09:28but Mission Marvel
09:29is what really saved the day for us.
09:31Number 10.
09:33Say Uncle.
09:34Steven Universe vs. Uncle Grandpa.
09:36Come on in.
09:38Bravo.
09:39This guy sure knows
09:40how to make an entrance.
09:41These two shows
09:42could not be any more different.
09:44Steven Universe
09:44is essentially a magical destiny epic
09:46with an overarching narrative,
09:48while Uncle Grandpa is,
09:50well, not.
09:51Looking good, Grandpa.
09:55It's hard to really put
09:56Uncle Grandpa,
09:57both the show and the character,
09:58into a single category,
10:00which is what makes
10:01this crossover so interesting.
10:02Getting to see
10:03the fourth-wall-breaking weirdo
10:04enter Steven's world
10:05and screw with reality,
10:07causing everyone,
10:08especially Pearl,
10:09to freak the heck out.
10:11We'll never escape!
10:12This is our new home!
10:15Pa, you're overreacting.
10:16I'm not overreacting!
10:18It was a delight
10:19that even hardcore
10:20Steven fans could enjoy,
10:21since at the end of the day,
10:23Say Uncle was just a fun
10:24April Fool's Day crossover,
10:25and is not part
10:26of the Steven Universe canon.
10:28Oh my gosh!
10:29Uncle Grandpa!
10:30You're really here?
10:31I can't believe it!
10:32I mean,
10:33I literally can't believe it.
10:35How is this even possible?
10:37Don't worry, bro.
10:38None of this is canon.
10:39Number 9.
10:40Simpsorama.
10:41The Simpsons vs. Futurama.
10:43You know,
10:44they look a little similar.
10:45Yeah,
10:46like the guy who designed Bender
10:48just took a drawing of Dad
10:49and stuck an antenna on it.
10:51Both of Matt Groening's wildly successful
10:53animated series
10:54have referenced each other
10:55countless times,
10:56from Groening himself
10:57appearing in The Simpsons
10:58as the creator of Futurama,
11:00to a pile of discarded
11:01Bart Simpson dolls.
11:02However,
11:03it wasn't until 2014
11:04that the shows
11:05actually crossed over.
11:06Well,
11:07there was a comic book crossover,
11:08and Bender did show up
11:09in a previous episode,
11:10but Simpsorama
11:11was the first time
11:12the two cartoons
11:13officially crossed over.
11:15Oh,
11:15don't mention her eye.
11:16Don't mention her eye.
11:17Don't mention her hair.
11:18Don't mention her hair.
11:19And what a crossover it was,
11:21involving time travel,
11:23monsters mutated
11:24from Bart's DNA,
11:25and, of course,
11:26the Planet Express crew
11:27working together
11:28with The Simpsons
11:29only after trying
11:30to kill them.
11:31Okay,
11:31let's get going.
11:42Ben 10 Generator Rex
11:44Heroes United
11:45Generator Rex
11:47vs. Ben 10 Ultimate Alien
11:49Destroy!
11:50You really haven't heard of me?
11:54I'm Ben Tennyson.
11:58Two teen heroes,
11:59two awesome power sets,
12:01one big crossover.
12:03Comedic crossovers
12:04are great and all,
12:05but it's hard to beat
12:05a killer team up
12:06between two uniquely
12:07powered superheroes,
12:09like the crossover
12:09between Ben 10
12:10and Generator Rex,
12:12aptly titled
12:13Heroes United.
12:14Maybe we can
12:16help each other.
12:19You do that?
12:20The TV special
12:21followed a lot of
12:22the unwritten
12:23crossover rules.
12:24The heroes meet
12:25through an alternate
12:26dimensional portal
12:27and fight at first,
12:28before eventually
12:29teaming up
12:30to defeat the bad guy.
12:31But it never feels
12:32cliche or boring.
12:34In fact,
12:34the action in
12:35Heroes United
12:36is a whole lot of fun,
12:37especially when
12:38Ben and Rex
12:39combine their powers
12:39for the final showdown.
12:41Let's do this
12:42again someday.
12:46Number 7.
12:47Hercules and the Arabian Knight
12:49Hercules and Aladdin
12:51Bless our soul,
12:52it's a whole new world
12:53up in Disney animation.
12:55This time,
12:55Hades and Jafar
12:56are back
12:57and are dead set
12:58on taking out
12:59each other's nemesis.
13:00Okay, my bro,
13:02you're back
13:03with our vengeance.
13:04It doesn't go great
13:06for them,
13:06but it sure is fun
13:07to watch.
13:08Herc knocks Jafar
13:08all the way back
13:09to the underworld
13:10and Hades' minions
13:11mistake Abu for Aladdin.
13:12It is pure
13:13Disney silliness
13:14at its finest,
13:15and that's before
13:16our heroes join forces.
13:18Seeing Hercules
13:19and Aladdin
13:19share the screen
13:20sounds like something
13:21out of a dream.
13:22But this is real,
13:23and yes,
13:24it is everything
13:24you would ever want
13:25and more.
13:26Let's try this again.
13:27I'm Aladdin.
13:28Hey,
13:29I'm Hercules.
13:30Good to meet you.
13:31What can we say?
13:32This crossover
13:33really went the distance.
13:35Number 6.
13:36Bravo Doobie Doo
13:37Johnny Bravo
13:38vs. the Scooby-Doo franchise
13:40She lives in this
13:42spooky house
13:43up on Widow's Peak.
13:45Spooky house?
13:47Jinkies!
13:47Whoa, mama.
13:49The Scooby-Doo gang
13:50has had quite a few
13:51team-ups and crossovers
13:52in their decades-long
13:52cartoon career,
13:53including Batman
13:54the Brave and the Bold.
13:55But none was quite as funny
13:57as their run-in
13:58with Johnny Bravo.
13:59After breaking down
14:00on the way to his aunt's
14:01spooky old house,
14:02Johnny catches a ride
14:03in the mystery machine,
14:04leading to all the
14:05classic Scooby-Doo tropes
14:07as Johnny and the gang
14:08pursue a ghostly gardener
14:09haunting the home.
14:11Now,
14:11hold on a second there,
14:12mister.
14:13We're going after
14:13some creepy ghost person
14:15and you want us
14:16to split up?
14:17But as it turns out,
14:18the ghost was actually
14:19Johnny's aunt
14:19trying to scare him off
14:21because she doesn't
14:22like him very much.
14:22I was almost
14:24rid of him!
14:26And I would have
14:27done it too
14:27if it hadn't been
14:28for you meddling kids!
14:29Number 5.
14:30The Jimmy-Timmy
14:31Power Hour Trilogy
14:32The Adventures of
14:33Jimmy Neutron
14:34Boy Genius
14:35Versus
14:36The Fairly Oddparents
14:42What happens
14:43when magic
14:44and science collide?
14:45You get
14:46The Jimmy-Timmy
14:46Power Hour,
14:47an ambitious
14:48and unlikely crossover
14:49between Jimmy Neutron
14:51and the Fairly Oddparents.
14:59The first entry
15:00in this cartoon crossover
15:01trilogy was more
15:02of a switcheroo
15:03between the two characters.
15:05But the sequels
15:06actually saw
15:06the two characters clash
15:07and eventually become
15:09interdimensional friends.
15:10As strange
15:11as these crossovers were,
15:13they were still
15:13tons of fun
15:14and loaded with action.
15:16And seeing the characters
15:17animated in different styles
15:19was definitely
15:19one of its biggest draws.
15:32Number 4.
15:33The Grim Adventures
15:34of the Kids Next Door
15:35Codename Kids Next Door
15:37Versus
15:37The Grim Adventures
15:38of Billy and Mandy
15:40Oh, thank goodness
15:41you're here!
15:43Hey!
15:44You're not
15:44the Powerpuff Girls!
15:46No, we're not!
15:47It's hard to imagine
15:48a show about
15:49two kids befriending death
15:50crossing over
15:51with a series
15:51following kid operatives
15:52who fight against
15:53adult tyranny.
15:54But Cartoon Network
15:55managed to pull it off
15:56with The Grim Adventures
15:57of the Kids Next Door.
15:59After Billy gets
16:00into some supernatural
16:01related trouble,
16:02he seeks the help
16:02of the kids next door.
16:04Leading to a strange
16:05series of events
16:06that results in Mandy
16:07running the kids next door
16:08and a giant
16:09supernatural pants monster.
16:11Yeah, this one's
16:12pretty weird,
16:13but it still makes
16:13our list.
16:14And it even gets
16:15bonus points
16:16for multiple references
16:17to other Cartoon Network
16:18series, including
16:19an extended cameo
16:20from Ed, Ed, and Eddie.
16:22Hello!
16:23Ed, Ed, and Eddie's
16:24pesky problem fixers!
16:25Got a problem that's pesky?
16:26We'll fix her
16:27for just one lousy quarter!
16:29Number 3.
16:30The Simpsons Guy
16:30Family Guy
16:31vs. The Simpsons
16:33Simpson!
16:33Homer Simpson!
16:35We had a Griffins!
16:36Peter, Lois, Stewie,
16:37and then, uh,
16:38you know, the others.
16:39Seth McFarlane's
16:40Family Guy
16:40has been called
16:41a blatant rip-off
16:42of The Simpsons,
16:43which is why
16:44the eventual crossover
16:45between the two
16:45came as a bit
16:46of a surprise.
16:47I think you and I
16:48are gonna get along
16:49just okay.
16:52Nonetheless,
16:53The Simpsons Guy
16:53brought the two
16:54family-centric
16:55animated sitcoms
16:56together
16:56to somewhat
16:57mixed results.
16:58The episode
16:59was criticized
16:59for leaning too heavily
17:01into the shock value
17:02humor of Family Guy,
17:03but the crossover
17:04also deserves some credit
17:05for poking fun
17:06at the differences
17:06between the two series,
17:08as well as
17:08the blatant similarities,
17:10the latter of which
17:10is pointed out
17:11in a wonderfully
17:12meta way,
17:13which is part of
17:14the reason why
17:14The Simpsons Guy
17:15earns the number
17:16three spot on this list.
17:22Hey, that's no fair.
17:24I don't got none of them.
17:25Number two,
17:26Rufus,
17:27Lilo and Stitch
17:27the series
17:28versus Kim Possible.
17:29That's got bruise
17:30written all over it.
17:31It's,
17:31it's,
17:32it's,
17:33it's,
17:34of all the unlikely
17:35crossovers on this list,
17:37this one definitely
17:38takes the cake.
17:39Seriously,
17:39who would imagine
17:40that Kim Possible
17:41would ever show up
17:42in the world
17:42of Lilo and Stitch?
17:43What's the sitch?
17:44No,
17:45who's Stitch?
17:46No, no,
17:46what's the sitch?
17:47It's like a catchphrase.
17:49Stitch isn't a catchphrase.
17:50He's my friend.
17:51Even weirder,
17:52this was just one
17:53of four other crossovers
17:54with Lilo and Stitch,
17:55the others being
17:56Recess,
17:57The Proud Family,
17:58and American Dragon
17:59Jake Long.
18:00Crazy, right?
18:01But as strange
18:02as this crossover was,
18:04it was still
18:04a ton of fun,
18:05following Lilo
18:06as she calls upon
18:07Kim Possible's services
18:08to help rescue Stitch
18:09from Drakken's clutches.
18:11All right, Lilo,
18:12let's blow this clambake.

18:32Number one,
18:33The Jetsons
18:34meet the Flintstones.
18:36The Jetsons
18:36versus the Flintstones.
18:43Hanna-Barbera cartoons
18:45are some of the greatest
18:46classics of animation,
18:47which is why this crossover
18:49between two of their
18:49most notable properties,
18:51The Jetsons
18:51and the Flintstones,
18:52is our number one pick.
18:54This crossover
18:55followed the Jetsons
18:56as they met the Flintstones
18:57after being accidentally
18:58sent back in time.
18:59Or were they?
19:01Wow,
19:02I wonder how far
19:03in the future we are.
19:04Or where we are.
19:05On top of being
19:06a great crossover,
19:07this TV movie
19:08also contributes
19:09to the dark theory
19:10that the Flintstones
19:10takes place
19:11after the Jetsons.
19:12Their primitive technology
19:14and prehistoric looking society
19:15being a result
19:16of the pollution
19:17and radiation
19:18implied by the future
19:19of the Jetsons.
19:20Of course,
19:21nothing's confirmed,
19:21but that doesn't make
19:23this crossover
19:23any less awesome.
19:25Will you stop
19:25with the shaking heads?
19:27It's the time machine,
19:28Mr. Spacely.
19:29It's kaput.
19:29Oh yeah,
19:30and they can't kaput it
19:31back together again.
19:32And we're stuck here.
19:34The Jetsons have offered
19:35to put us up
19:35till we find a place
19:36of our own.
19:37What's your
19:37pie-in-the-sky crossover idea?
19:39Pitch it to us
19:40in the comments.
