The Family Guy fans out there probably know that creator Seth MacFarlane used to work on somewhat more innocent fare like Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken. When I first started hearing about Family Guy I immediately thought, 'is that the same guy who worked on Johnny Bravo?' Indeed, it was. Anyway, the other night while checking Frederator's podcast archive, I found an animated short called "Zoomates." It was created by MacFarlane and Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents). You can tell Hartman had his hand in it based on the design of the characters alone. So, if you're bored on this lazy Saturday and want a few minutes of entertainment, click here, then scroll down to "Episode 19" to download it. Keep in mind this is the first of four animated shorts, and I make no claims about what comes after it. Although, there is a very awesome Lifesavers commercial from several years ago that follows. Here's a direct link.

Note: Apparently this aired as a segment on Oh Yeah! Cartoons earlier this year.
