Stephen Hillenburg is the best creator that ever lived and no one will change that.
Genndy Tartakovsky is a Russian American animator, director, writer and producer.

In 2011, Tartakovsky joined Sony Pictures Animation, where he directed his feature film debut, Hotel Transylvania, and its sequel, Hotel Transylvania 2. Creator of Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. Not to mention he co-created Sym-Bionic Titan.
Seth Woodbury MacFarlane is an American television producer, filmmaker, actor, and singer, working primarily in animation and comedy, as well as live-action and other genres.
Matthew Abram "Matt" Groening is an American cartoonist, writer, producer, animator, and voice actor best known for creating the famous television shows, The Simpsons and Futurama.
Pendleton "Pen" Ward is an American animator, screenwriter, producer, and voice actor who works for Cartoon Network Studios and Frederator Studios. He created the Emmy Award-winning series Adventure Time and the internet series Bravest Warriors.
Alexander Robert "Alex" Hirsch is an American animator, storyboard artist, voice actor, and television producer. He is best known as the creator of the Disney XD animated television series Gravity Falls, where he voiced some of the characters. Young genius, and voices so many different people as well! He is truly gifted. Gravity Falls is incredible!
Maxwell Atoms is an American animator, screenwriter and voice actor. Atoms was best known as the creator of Cartoon Network's The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy franchise.
Jonathan "John" Robert Dilworth, a.k.a. "Dilly", is an American animator, director and actor. He is best known as the producer, director, writer, and creator of the animated television series Courage the Cowardly Dog.
Craig McCracken is an American animator, director and producer. He is best known for creating the Emmy-winning animated series The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends for Cartoon Network, as well as writing and storyboarding for Oscar's Oasis and Dexter's Laboratory in Kids' WB. His newest series, Wander Over Yonder, premiered on Disney Channel on August 16, 2013. He has been married to fellow animator Lauren Faust since 2004. This man created Powerpuff Girls, one of the greatest Cartoon Network shows of all time, Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, an amazing show that proved Flash cartoons aren't all cheaply produced Canadian rubbish, and Wander Over Yonder, a great cartoon that sadly got cut short. Foster's and Wander Over Yonder were some of my favorite shows to watch as a kid, and I'd like to thank Craig for creating them. He's also currently making a new show called Kid Cosmic on Netflix, which I have yet to watch, but I've heard great things about. Bottom line, Craig McCracken is a creative genius and deserves to be treated better, especially since Powerpuff Girls already got a terrible reboot, and is now getting a possibly even worse live-action reboot on The CW.
Creator of The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
James Garland "J. G." Quintel is an American animator, television writer, voice actor, and director. He is the creator of the hit Cartoon Network series Regular Show, in which he also voices the characters Mordecai and High Five Ghost.
Rebecca Rea Sugar is a Jewish American animator, composer and director. She is best known for creating the Cartoon Network series Steven Universe, which has made her the first woman to independently create a series for the network. Rebecca Sugar helped writing intense and serious lines in Adventure Time. And now, she created her own show, Steven Universe!
Her show interacts perfectly with characters, and has a theme with a deep depth.
She created my second favourite show!

Randolph Severn "Trey" Parker III is an American animator, director, producer, screenwriter, actor, and composer. The almost entire South Park series, written and directed all by himself, one episode per week. The fact that he's not above even Seth McFarlane (who does absolutely nothing on Family Guy aside from the voices) means this list is BS.
I love his show South Park and his main character in it.
