The Cartoon Art Museum stands as the only museum of its kind on the West Coast. This museum serves as a venue for the appreciation of cartoons as entertainment and as art form. Exhibits showcase a variety of works, including art from movies, commercials, TV shows, comic strips, and comic books. These works draw from a range of cartooning techniques, displaying the fantastic capabilities of this artistic expression.

At the Cartoon Art Museum, creative cartooning can be viewed through all its formative stages, beginning with designs and storyboards, onto layout, then ultimately completed with the final design or animation. The various production details such as concept designs, color keys, and digital prints illustrate the stages of the artistic process that motivates each project.

The museum appeals to all ages, showcasing newer and older examples of cartooning, from Charles M. Shulz's Peanuts to the most dynamic anime (Japanese animation). There are also exhibits of familiar and popular works from the museum's permanent collection, which consists of over 10,000 pieces, including many original newspaper comic strips and animation cells.
