Jack's House of Kids

Jack's House Of Kids is an live-action/American animated television series, which premiered on Cartoon Network. It is produced by Jack Wiley-Halm Television, and the overseas animation is done by DHX Media. Similar to Disney's House of Mouse.

Premise
The basic premise is that Jack and his friends run a dinner theater club called the "House of Kids" in downtown Toontown, which shows Jack's cartoons as part of its floor shows. Located at a corner of an intersection on Toontown's Main Sttreet, the club is considered a very popular destination by the local populace. Some episodes have specific themes, with cartoons to fit that episode's theme. the theme is usually not beneficial to at least one character, usually Bart Simpson. Many characters from Jack animated films (such as The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Make Way For Noddy, Clifford The Big Red Dog, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Arthur, and Many More) have appeared on House of Kids, mostly as patrons and guest star performers. The show is notable for including many relatively obscure and otherwise rarely-used Jack characters, often with speaking parts. The Show also featured some cameos by characters created for other television cartoons and theme park attractions, but these appearances were few and far between. Each episode explores the comical mishaps of Jack and his associates running the club, which are used as wraparounds for Jack (some of which are classic theatrical cartoons from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, but most of which are reruns from CBS, ABC, Nickelodeon, & Cartoon Network).
