I love the idea, using the Japanese Animators experiencea and skill and how much they can do with less money, giving them LOTS of money so they show what they CAN do with more money and telling them to tell Western stories is a great idea

Gummi bears was a great show that had bouncy and lively animation.
Produced by Disney but initally aired on NBC (my station pre-1995 was KYW in which it was an affiliate owned by Westinghouse Broadcasting and Cable, currently it's WCAU due to a trade with Westinghouse-CBS)

Even Japan themselves have been outsourcing to South Korea for anime.
I think many British animated production rarely outsourced to South Korea (Full English was animated by Rough Draft Korea here)

Though for Orange, none of the animes are animated by Rough Draft Korea, because there was already Orange.

^ British animation sometimes uses studios in Korea, but more often than not they use studios in Europe because they're closer. Borisfen in Ukraine being a big one.

or in the case of Grand Slamm, they used Varga in Hungary (When You're Traveling from Animaniacs and Assist Studio for Klasky-Csupo for an MTV Ident called Potato Face (with parts of the Faces ripped from magazines and is mad crazy in the ident) and Do the Bartman for Fox and Gracie Films)

Nelvana Toggled between Wang and Hanho and others

Today, they mostly do things in-house but there's a chance that another studio might do it for them or maybe co-produce (i.e. YetiFarm and Atomic Cartoons)

I would like for the upcoming Powerpuff Girls reboot to be animated at CloverWorks. What do you think?
There is no upcoming Powerpuff Girls reboot. Craig McCracken confirmed on Twitter that there's no new series being developed. Only that Cartoon Network said that they'd be interested in "doing something PPG related in the future".

In my opinion, Cartoon Network should start working with the modern Japanese animation studios like CloverWorks and KyoAni. As far as I know, Korea's Rough Draft Studios was hired by Cartoon Network for all of their original animated shows. What do you think?

That one! That exact one!
Yeah, that one is beginning of modern animation with tons of details and I watched this on Disney Channel when it was premium era in early and mid 90s, and later, rerun on Toon Disney.

It Initally Aired on NBC in 1985
Original broadcast? Yes. I’m talking about remember enough to see this show started to rerun on The Disney Channel in early 1990s when they were premium era, basically no ads break at all and promotion occurs after show ends. Premium era ended in 1997 when they transitioned to basic.

I was baby when Gummi Bears aired on NBC in late 80s, so can’t remember until later in toddler.

Disney's Most-Recent Program called Primos, has animation outsourced to both Korea (Sugarcube) and the Philippines (Snipple)

How can Studios have more than one Overseas Studio working on a Show like that???

Bee and PuppyCat is another recent example of a Western studio outsourcing animation services to a Japanese studio. Said case of the latter being OLM. (The guys behind the Pokémon anime)

Though the first season was animated by Korean studio Dong Woo, OLM started doing the later episodes before doing the entirety of season two.
