Here are some of the best cartoon features, most of them still available to stream.
1. “The Simpsons Guy” (2014)
In this crossover, the Griffins from “Family Guy” visit Springfield and befriend the Simpson family. The episode features the signature humor from both shows, with Peter and Homer bonding over donuts, Stewie and Bart’s prank rivalry, and a hilarious chicken fight between Peter and Homer.
2. “Leela and the Genestalk” (2013)
Finn and Jake from “Adventure Time” make a brief appearance in this “Futurama” episode. They’re chained to the wall and when Jake whispers “What time is it” instead of the usual answer “Adventure Time!” he gets a classic Bender line: “It’s time for you to shut up.”
3. “Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United” (2011)
This one brought together two awesome heroes from different animated series: Ben Tennyson from “Ben 10” and Rex Salazar from “Generator Rex.” Foes in the beginning, Ben and Rex found themselves facing a super-powered villain named Alpha, who threatened to unleash havoc on the world.

In this classic crossover, the futuristic Jetson family gets transported back in time to the prehistoric era, where they meet the Stone Age Flintstone family. The clash of these two vastly different time periods leads to a lot of culture shocks, making it a memorable crossover for fans of both shows.

We have the gang from “Codename: Kids Next Door” on one side and the weird kids from “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy” on the other.

12. “Bravo Dooby-Doo” (1997)
Two hit shows collided to make this one, “Johnny Bravo” and “Scooby-Doo”. It all started with Johnny’s car breaking down, the Scooby gang wanting to help and it all ended in Johnny’s aunt’s haunted mansion. The crossover was a perfect mix of Johnny Bravo’s muscle-flexing silliness and Scooby-Doo’s mystery-solving antics. Fans got to see Johnny trying (and failing) to impress Daphne, and it was comedy gold.
13. “Simpsorama” (2014)
A crossover episode that fans of “The Simpsons” and “Futurama” couldn’t get enough of. Bender lands in the city of Springfield with one purpose: to kill Homer Simpson. We won’t ruin the plot for you but trust us, it’s worth a watch, if not for the time travel shenanigans at least for the Homer and Bender duo.
14. “Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars” (2014)
It brought together the lovable characters from the hit animated series “Phineas and Ferb” with the iconic universe of “Star Wars.” The story takes place in a parallel timeline within the “Star Wars” universe, where Phineas and Ferb find themselves on the desert planet of Tatooine. There, they encounter classic “Star Wars” characters like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia. The gang embarks on a comical and out-of-this-world adventure to thwart the plans of the evil Empire.
15. “Laff-A-Lympics” (1977)

These teams traveled the globe, competing in various sporting events with a classic Hanna-Barbera twist.
