The Powerhouse Era is a theme used for The Cartoon Network from 1998 to 2004 and produced by Primal Screen (reincarnated as Space Monster Studio in 2024). It is nicknamed for its reoccurring incorporation of Raymond Scott's tune "Powerhouse" in the bumpers, although, in 2003, this was replaced by the theme music of shows in their respective bumpers.
It is to be announced who did the post-production sound.
