Samurai Jack premiered on Cartoon Network on August 10, 2001. Samurai Jack is a bold adventure show from Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of the hugely popular Dexter's Laboratory. In the distant past, an evil shape-shifter named Aku has brought destruction upon the land. As the citizens' last hope, a youngster is sent away to train as a samurai warrior. But when he returns as an adult to confront Aku, the warrior finds himself flung into the future through a time portal, landing in an unknown time and place. There, the locals dub him "Jack" and help him in his quest to return to the past and undo the evil brought by Aku. Samurai Jack's adventures and battles are portrayed through a groundbreaking style that combines stylized cartooning, minimal dialogue, split-screen visuals, rich backgrounds and pulsating music - making Samurai Jack a true Cartoon Network original.
