The Big Cartoon Database: Jump To Navigation Jump To Search

Barrie returned to the character of Peter Pan as the centre of his stage play entitled Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, which premiered on 27 December 1904 in London. Barrie later adapted and expanded the play's storyline as a novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy. J. M. Barrie may have based the character of Peter Pan on his older brother, David, who died in an ice-skating accident the day before his 14th birthday. His mother and brother thought of him as forever a boy.[2]

The Big Cartoon DataBase (or BCDB for short) is an online database of information


about animated cartoons, animated feature films, animated television shows, and
cartoon shorts.
The BCDB project began in 1996 as a list of Disney animated features on creator Dave
Koch's local computer.[1] In response to increasing interest in the material, the database
went online in 1998 as a searchable resource dedicated to compiling information
about cartoons, including production details such as voice actors, producers, and
directors, as well as plot summaries and user reviews of cartoons. [2] In 2003, BCDB
became a 501(c) non-profit corporation.[1] On June 24, 2009, it was announced by
creator Dave Koch on his BCDB forums that the site had 100,000 titles. [3]

Features[edit]
One feature of the BCDB is its "Top Rated" page which provides a listing of the top 25
animated films as voted by the registered users of the website. Ratings are shown
based on top score as well as the cartoons that receive the highest number of votes.
Users are given the option of rating a movie from "1" (lowest) to "10" (highest). To
safeguard against attempts to skew the data, the DataBase employs data filters and a
vote quota in an attempt to give an accurate Bayesian estimate. The BCDB also has a
lowest-20 rated cartoons feature which, based on the same data, shows the least liked
cartoons in the database.[4]
BCDB also includes a linked, online forum, where users express their opinions about
cartoons, and/or ask questions about them. The forum is available to all registered
users, and is actively moderated by a team of moderators and administrators.
Other features include news items related to the animation industry and the recently
added image gallery, which allows users to see images of various cartoon
characters taken from popular films.

Recognition[edit]
In 2002, The San Diego Union Tribune listed BCDB as a "top site" and wrote "with more
than 42,000 cartoons, 2,000 series[,] and 1,300 cartoon reviews, this may be one of the
Internet's largest searchable databases of cartoons". [5] In 2005, Apple Hot News wrote
"The Big Cartoon Database is the place to find in depth information about any cartoon
ever made".[6] In 2006, it was reported by the Reference and User Services Association,
in their Eighth Annual List of Best Free Reference Web Sites, that "The Big Cartoon
Database is the definitive Web compendium for anyone interested in the history of
animation."[2]
The BCDB has been used as a reference by such news sources as Hartford Courant,
[7]
 The San Diego Union Tribune,[5] Oakland Tribune,[8] Beacon News,[9] USA Today,[10] and
the Animation World Network,[11] among others. Que's Official Internet Yellow
Pages rates the site as 5 (out of 5) stars.[12]
