    The End Of An Era: Cartoon Network Comes To An End As It Merges With Warner Bros. AnimationrUa

    After 30 years, the long-standing cable television channel, Cartoon Network, is coming to an end.rUa
    rUa
    On Tuesday, #WarnerBros. Television Group laid off 82 employees and will not be filling 43 other vacant positions. The 125 positions made up 26% of the companyrCOs workforce.rUa
    rUa
    However, the layoffs donrCOt tell the entire story of whatrCOs happening at WBTVG. Apparently, the company is going through what they call a rCLstrategic realignment.rCYrUa
    rUa
    During the announcement, the company also shared a plan that fundamentally alters the structure of #CartoonNetworkStudios going forward.rUa
    rUa
    In a recent memo, chairman #ChanningDungey says the company plans to fully consolidate its tv animation divisions. This means that Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios will merge to become one entity.rUa
    rUa
    According to the memo, the labels will still exist but maybe only in name. The merger will combine both development and production divisions at the companies to extend on the cross-studio teams that were already in place.rUa
    rUa
    Unfortunately, this will dismiss Cartoon Network from having a say on either creative or operational matters.rUa
    rUa
    The merge is also an unpromising sign for Cartoon Network, as Warner Bros. has traditionally been a much more catalog/IP-driven studio. Meanwhile, Cartoon Network is known for pushing out original series and specials.rUa

    Cartoon Network was founded in 1992 by #TedTurner...to read the rest log on to BallerAlert.com (clickable link on profile)rUa

    Thank God for that. Most of the actual Cartoon Network stuff (i.e. not
    the ones like Hanna-Barbera) was badly drawn, badly animated, weird
    garbage anyway.

    Oh, come on, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Lab and Samauri Jack were all
    great series.

    Crap, crap, and crap. Those three prove my point, but there are even
    worse Cartoon Network shows too.

    The original Powerpuff Girls was brilliant, a great satire on
    Batman etc., but the remake was poor.

    I was amused to find there really is a city called Townsville, in
    Australia!

    Yes, I agree about the remake. There was also an overseas anime version
    that was... anime.
