Eric Cartman

Eric Cartman is one of the main protagonists of Animation Acres.



Creation and original origins
Eric Cartman was one of the main protagonists of the animated series, South Park created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A precursor to him first appeared in the 1992 short created by Parker and Stone called Jesus Vs. Frosty. He was first named Kenny, and a quote resembling the catchphrase "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" was exclaimed when the character resembling Cartman was killed by an evil snowman. The version of the character we know today was fully created and was given traits of Archie Bunker from All In The Family in the 1995 short, Jesus Vs. Santa. And Kenny was changed to the boy in the orange parka. He made his offical debut to television in South Park in 1997.

Cartman is selfish, manipulative and oftens ridicules people of different beliefs, color and religion. His main target is Kyle, who is Jewish.

Cartman's co-creator Trey Parker, provides Cartman's voice. He originally provided it without any editing, but later he used editing on his voice to make him sound like a fourth grader. Parker also ad-libs a majority of Cartman's lines as he is his and Matt Stone's favorite character.

Animation Acres
Though his racial behavior is gone, his selfish and manipulative ways remain. He is one of the friends of Timmy and Spot and often hangs out with them. Though he can act like a jerk most of the time, he does know when to be a helpful part of the group.
