Globi Globi Globi is a Swiss cartoon character occasionally referred to as Switzerland's Mickey Mouse. He is pictured as an anthropomorphic blue parrot with a yellow beak wearing a black beret and a pair of red and black checkered trousers. He was created by the Swiss cartoonist Robert Lips, as an advertising character for the Swiss department store Globus in 1932 for the company's 25th anniversary. He was originally planned to be called "Kimbukku", but later renamed Globi after the local Basel German "(Baseldytsch)" dialect word for the department store that created him. He initially appeared in a cartoon strip called
Cartoon Cartoons on "The Cartoon Cartoon Show" (2005–2008) and "Cartoon Planet" (2012–2014). Cartoon Cartoons first appeared as shorts on animation showcase series "What a Cartoon!" in 1995, under the name of "World Premiere Toons". The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios under the direction of Fred Seibert. Seibert had been a guiding force for Nickelodeon (having overseen the creation of Nicktoons shortly prior to his departure) prior to joining Hanna-Barbera and would establish Frederator Studios years later. Through "What a Cartoon!", Cartoon Network was able to assess the potential of certain shorts to serve as pilots for spin-off series
