Its not exactly clear to me what Cartoon Monsoon was, but it had something to do with a competition among aspiring amateur animators who produced segments for WB and then the public got to vote for their favorite. From my understanding, Zatanna was not one of the actual competing shorts, but it was produced for the Cartoon Monsoon and written by Paul Dini. The short aired in 2003 and it took me literally years of hunting to find it. Worth the effort? Well, it does feel good to be able to say I did finally get to see it even if it was not all that great. In 5 minutes, we were introduced to Zatanna and the wicked Klarion as they explored a mystic realm in pursuit of the Crystal Wand. It ended with Z taking on some evil playing cards... Fun.
