Raw Toonage is an animated comedy that aired on CBS. It was the first of three mid-1990's Disney shows to feature individual shorts and a somewhat edgier comedy than Disney's previous TV productions - the other two being Marsupilami and The Shnookums & Meat Funny Cartoon Show.

Premise

The episodes were put together of the segments ”He's Bonkers” (featuring the star of the upcomming series Bonkers), ”Marsupilami” (featuring the Belgian comics creature of the same name, which eventually envolved to star in his own Disney show), and ”Totally Tasteless Video” (an anthology segement, lacking recurring characters). Most episodes were hosted by a well known Disney character, such as Scrooge McDuck (of DuckTales), Don Karnage (of TaleSpin), or Sebastian the Crab (of The Little Mermaid).

12 episodes were produced, including 10 host segments (1 which aired uninterrupted, as a standalone short), 11 ”He’s Bonkers” segments, 11 ”Totally Tasteless Video” segments, and 16 ”Marsupilami” segments. An additional Bonkers short, Petal to the Metal, had theatrical release prior to the series premiere, on August 7, 1992.

After the show’s cancellation, many of the segments were included in episodes of Marsupilami and Bonkers.
