Often, they mispronounce words or use poor grammar. Despite the toddlers' inability and lack of desire to communicate with adults, they can understand their parents' speaking, although they often misunderstand what they hear, usually by taking metaphors literally and speaking in malapropisms. Angelica Pickles, at age three, is able to communicate and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, which she often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party. Cartoon Network (commonly abbreviated as CN) is a cable television network created by Turner Broadcasting which primarily shows animated programming. The original American channel began broadcasting on October 1, 1992 with Looney Tunes being its first-ever aired

program. From then on, Cartoon Network has launched many other shows including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, The + Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Grim and Evil and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Though Cartoon Network is mainly child-based, a more adult- oriented block titled Adult Swim is aired late-night. However, in September 2007, there will be two new shows coming to Cartoon Network. Monster Allergy and Out of Jimmy's Head. The networks headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia. And has since October 1992. − ==Production== It was the network's second Nicktoon. The series was in production from 1991 to 1994, and again from 1996 to 2004. It aired in Nickelodeon's Snick block − from 1997-2000 and it also aired on Nick Jr's block. It is the longest lasting Nicktoon to date at thirteen years of longevity. Rugrats received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony on June 28, 2001. The show airs in the UK on CITV and Nickelodeon UK as well as in Canada − on YTV. In    − Australia, it can be seen on Nickelodeon Australia. After the introduction of SpongeBob SquarePants, popularity for Rugrats declined. The Rugrats never had a rival this strong in popularity (many shows were produced during the Rugrats − lifetime, but none were as successful as SpongeBob SquarePants). In order to keep its popularity, the studios released several movies and specials, such as the introduction of Dil Pickles and Kimi Finster. Ironically, after these introductions, fans determined that Rugrats jumped the shark. + ==History== − When Nickelodeon declined to renew any more new episodes of Rugrats and All Grown Up, Klasky-Csupo (the studios responsible for Rugrats) closed down most of its operations. At the time of their cancellation, those series were the only Klasky-Csupo series on the Nickelodeon schedule. + ===Late 1980s-1993=== [[Image:Original Cartoon Network + logo.png|thumb|left|200px|The original  Cartoon Network logo]] By the end of the 1980s, Ted Turner's cable-TV conglomerate had acquired the MGM film library (which included the older catalog of pre-1948 color Warner Bros. cartoons), and its cable channel Turner Network Television had gained an audience with its film library. In 1990, it purchased animation studio Hanna- Barbera Productions and acquired its large library as well as most of the Ruby-Spears library. Cartoon Network was created as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation, and − ==Characters== − the initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of re-runs of classic Warner Bros. (like + Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), MGM (like Tom and Jerry and Droopy Dog), and Hanna-Barbera cartoons (like The Jetsons and The Flintstones), with many Hanna- Barbera TV cartoons like Wally Gator used as time fillers. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half- hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio — Down With Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-and-mouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. Today, no classics remain on the network. + ===1994-2004=== + Hanna-Barbera started production on The What-A-Cartoon! Show (also known as World-Premiere Toons And "What-A-Cartoon"), a series of creator- driven short cartoons that premiered on Cartoon Network in 1995. It was the network's third original series (the second was Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and the first was The Moxy + Show). The project was spearheaded by several Cartoon Network executives, plus Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (who was an advisor to the network at the time) and Fred     − ==Episodes== − Seibert (who was formerly one of the driving forces behind the Nicktoons, and would go on to produce the similar animation anthology series Oh, Yeah! Cartoons). In 1996, Time Warner purchased Turner Broadcasting, and with it, Cartoon Network. The Network gained access to the complete Warner Bros. cartoon library, which had not been + under ownership since 1957. The library includes WB cartoons from the 1950s to the 1980s, and newer cartoons like Road Rovers, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, and Pinky and the Brain. Time Warner changed the direction of Hanna-Barbera Productions (the production studio now known as Cartoon Network Studios), and focused the studio exclusively on creating new material for the Network (which were baptized Cartoon Cartoons). These productions include: Dexter's Laboratory (1996), Johnny Bravo (1997), Cow and + Chicken (1997), and The Powerpuff Girls (1998) (all of which were shorts, previously launched on What a Cartoon with the creative work of Hanna-Barbera art director Jesse Stagg), and more recently Codename: Kids Next Door (2003), Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (2004), and Camp Lazlo (2005). To free up air time for said new shows, the listed classics were retired. − ==Films== − − −      The older Hanna-Barbera cartoons, as well as the entire Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies library, and all non-Tom + and Jerry cartoons made by MGM such as those made by Tex Avery, have been largely moved to the nostalgia- themed Boomerang sister network. − ==Spinoffs== −  −

planned to see Susie move away from − California to Atlanta, where she apparently has relatives. − ==Broadcast history== + ===2004-2006=== On June 14 2004, Cartoon Network relaunched itself with a new slogan, “This is Cartoon Network.” The bumps now featured 2D cartoon characters from their shows interacting in a CGI city composed of sets from their shows. Nearly all of Cartoon Network's classic cartoon programming has been replaced by new + programming, except for Tom and Jerry, a longtime staple of the Turner networks. Within a few months, the network took off more shows from the 1990s (Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, etc.) and put them on a 30 minute block called The Cartoon Cartoon Show. Some shows like Mike, Lu, and Og and Sheep in the Big City were taken off the network completely. − *USA **Nickelodeon (1991-2005) − (Original Run), (2006-2007) − **Boomerang − *UK + ===2006-present=== In the summer of 2006, Cartoon Network's slogan was changed to a simplistic “Cartoon Network - Yes!,” as spoken by Fred Fredburger, a character on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

The network also used bumps featuring the cast of Camp Lazlo as stick puppets and characters in front of a red background. − − −  − **CITV (2005-present) The new campaign featured three different styles of bumps. The first style is "Lunchbox of Doom", featuring an assortment of show clips inside a CGI + goth-looking lunchbox, a reference to an episode of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. The second is "VS.", comparing two cartoon characters. The last style is a reprise of the CGI City look, using flat, dark colors. − *Australia − − (1995-Present) − **ABC TV **ABC2, a digital rerun channel of ABC TV **ABC Kids, a short lived digital − channel containing the Kids programming from ABC TV − **Network Ten As of 2007, Cartoon Network does not have a slogan, but they retained the

Originally known as "World Premiere Toons," the shorts were essentially  series pilots — the idea was to measure audience response and turn the most popular shorts into series. Only a small handful of the shorts ever made series, however. The first short to air was "The Powerpuff Girls Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins," + but it would be three years before the girls got their own series. This show also aired the cartoon "Larry and Steve", which was the prototype of the hit show Family Guy. The first series to spin off from What-a- Cartoon! was Dexter's Laboratory in 1996. A year later, Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken joined Dexter on the Cartoon Network lineup. The Powerpuff Girls became a Cartoon Cartoons series in the fall of 1998. Ed, Edd, n Eddy came later as the first Cartoon Cartoons series not to be introduced in a What-A-Cartoon! short. + More shows premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons moniker, airing throughout the network's schedule and prominently on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and new shows. For three years during Summer, Cartoon Network actually let fans pick which of that year's crop of Cartoon Cartoon shorts made series, by staging a vote where fans could choose from among the three most popular entries. The first short to be voted into a series was + The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (originally known as Grim & Evil) in 2000, and a year later Codename: Kids Next Door was voted in [[2001 in

The amount of time Cartoon Theatre ran varied, and based solely on the amount of time the feature film ran, and would perhaps disagree with Cartoon Network's hour-by-hour schedule. To even out the block's time-frame, a sub-block titled Toon Extra, a block based on newspaper delivery, aired after Cartoon Theatre films showing one or more cartoons helping to add less than an extra hour of content to span out the perhaps uneven time slot, when the block was still called Cartoon Theatre. If Toon Extra didn't completely fill the time slot a few extra commercials may be aired, plus the occasional black-out for lesser amounts of unadded seconds. + Since 2004, live-action films, + regardless if they are cartoon-related (though most are), became part of Cartoon Network's library of movies. + + ====Cartoon Network Original Movies==== Thirteen made-for-TV movies have aired on Cartoon Network.

Original promos involved many different cartoon characters, and real kids, enjoying physical activities inside the Animation Station.

Current promos still show cartoon characters playing alongside kids, though occasional sports celebrities (such as Freddie Adu) make appearances.

The original American channel began broadcasting on October 1, 1992 with Looney Tunes being its first-ever aired program. From then on, Cartoon Network has launched many other shows including Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Grim and Evil and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Though Cartoon Network is mainly child-based, a more adult-oriented block titled Adult Swim is aired late-night. However, in September 2007, there will be two new shows coming to Cartoon Network. Monster Allergy and Out of Jimmy's Head. The networks headquarters is located in Atlanta, Georgia. And has since October 1992.

In 1990, it purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions and acquired its large library as well as most of the Ruby-Spears library. Cartoon Network was created as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation, and the initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of re-runs of classic Warner Bros. (like Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies), MGM (like Tom and Jerry and Droopy Dog), and Hanna- Barbera cartoons (like The Jetsons and The Flintstones), with many Hanna-Barbera TV cartoons like Wally Gator used as time fillers. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio — Down With Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-and-mouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. Today, no classics remain on the network. 1994-2004 Hanna-Barbera started production on The What-A-Cartoon! Show (also known as World-Premiere Toons And "What-A-Cartoon"), a series of creator-driven short cartoons that premiered on Cartoon Network in 1995. It was the network's third original series (the second was Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and the first was The Moxy Show). The project was spearheaded by several Cartoon Network executives, plus Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi (who was an advisor to the network at the time) and Fred Seibert (who was formerly one of the driving forces behind the Nicktoons, and would go on to produce the similar animation anthology series Oh, Yeah! Cartoons). In 1996, Time Warner purchased Turner Broadcasting, and with it, Cartoon Network. The Network gained access to the complete Warner Bros. cartoon library, which had not been under ownership since 1957. The library includes WB cartoons from the 1950s to the 1980s, and newer cartoons like Road Rovers, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, and Pinky and the Brain. Time Warner changed the direction of Hanna-Barbera Productions (the production studio now known as Cartoon Network Studios), and focused the studio exclusively on creating new material for the Network (which were baptized Cartoon Cartoons). These productions include: Dexter's Laboratory (1996), Johnny Bravo (1997), Cow and Chicken (1997), and The Powerpuff Girls (1998) (all of which were shorts, previously launched on What a Cartoon with the creative work of Hanna- Barbera art director Jesse Stagg), and more recently Codename: Kids Next Door (2003), Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (2004), and Camp Lazlo (2005). To free up air time for said new shows, the listed classics were retired. The older Hanna-Barbera cartoons, as well as the entire Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies library, and all non-Tom and Jerry cartoons made by MGM such as those made by Tex Avery, have been largely moved to the nostalgia-themed Boomerang sister network. 2004-2006 On June 14 2004, Cartoon Network relaunched itself with a new slogan, “This is Cartoon Network.” The bumps now featured 2D cartoon characters from their shows interacting in a CGI city composed of sets from their shows. Nearly all of Cartoon Network's classic cartoon programming has been replaced by new programming, except for Tom and Jerry, a longtime staple of the Turner networks. Within a few months, the network took off more shows from the 1990s (Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, etc.) and put them on a 30 minute block called The Cartoon Cartoon Show. Some shows like Mike, Lu, and Og and Sheep in the Big City were taken off the network completely. 2006-present In the summer of 2006, Cartoon Network's slogan was changed to a simplistic “Cartoon Network - Yes!,” as spoken by Fred Fredburger, a character on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Before then, the network's original slogan, "the best place for cartoons", had remained the network's slogan for nearly five years. The network also used bumps featuring the cast of Camp Lazlo as stick puppets and characters in front of a red background. File:CN1995.JPG Screencap from a 1995 bumper. The new campaign featured three different styles of bumps. The first style is "Lunchbox of Doom", featuring an assortment of show clips inside a CGI goth-looking lunchbox, a reference to an episode of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. The second is "VS.", comparing two cartoon characters. The last style is a reprise of the CGI City look, using flat, dark colors. As of 2007, Cartoon Network does not have a slogan, but they retained the image campaign that began in 2006, although a slightly refreshed version of the theme is currently in use.[2] (http://www. cartoonnetwork.com/promos/upfront/) In Fall 2007, the channel will begin broadcasting in High [1] View: List of programs broadcast by Cartoon Network.

Programming blocks Cartoon Cartoons Cartoon Cartoons, a series of comedic animated shorts produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions guided by Fred Seibert, who founded the Nickelodeon-based Frederator Studios years later. Originally known as "World Premiere Toons," the shorts were essentially series pilots — the idea was to measure audience response and turn the most popular shorts into series. Only a small handful of the shorts ever made series, however. The first short to air was "The Powerpuff Girls Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins," but it would be three years before the girls got their own series. This show also aired the cartoon "Larry and Steve", which was the prototype of the hit show Family Guy. The first series to spin off from What-a-Cartoon! was Dexter's Laboratory in 1996. A year later, Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken joined Dexter on the Cartoon Network lineup. The Powerpuff Girls became a Cartoon Cartoons series in the fall of 1998. Ed, Edd, n Eddy came later as the first Cartoon Cartoons series not to be introduced in a What-A-Cartoon! short. More shows premiered bearing the Cartoon Cartoons moniker, airing throughout the network's schedule and prominently on Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which became the marquee night for premieres of new episodes and new shows. For three years during Summer, Cartoon Network actually let fans pick which of that year's crop of Cartoon Cartoon shorts made series, by staging a vote where fans could choose from among the three most popular entries. The first short to be voted into a series was The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (originally known as Grim & Evil) in 2000, and a year later Codename: Kids Next Door was voted in 2001. Both have gone on to become two of Cartoon Network's longest-running series. Megas XLR was voted in the year later and ran its own series as well, along with Whatever Happened To Robot Jones in 2002, which didn't receive popular vote but became a series sometime later. Both of which, however, were short-lived. As of September the name is primarily used for The Cartoon Cartoon Show, an hour-long program featuring episodes of older Cartoon Cartoons that are no longer shown regularly on the network. Fridays Fridays, originally titled Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, was the Friday night program block on Cartoon Network that showcased the channel's original animated series, with new episode premieres usually taking place in this block. Around these shows, live action segments in a studio with two hosts and an audience of children were for continuity between the programs. The block aired between 7 p.m.-5 a.m., with the shows and segments repeating at least twice. Fridays replaced Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, a block that aired Fridays at 7 p.m. Eastern Time before replaced by Summer Fridays in 2003 and replaced by Fridays in late 2003. The block was launched on May 7, 1999 and last aired on May 2, 2003. Originally in 1999, it aired encores of new episodes File:Fri premiere.gif The current Fridays logo in Australia which were shown earlier during the week. Cartoon Cartoon Fridays was hosted by a character from a Cartoon Cartoon. On February 23, 2007, Cartoon Network aired the last Fridays. A month-long "Movie Madness" filled out the airtime, and Friday Night Premiere Thunder, then Friday Night Premiere Lazer took over the programming slot. A new block, Fried Dynamite, premieres in the late summer. Miguzi Miguzi was a cartoon block that premiered on April 19, 2004. This block was themed around Erin, a girl who finds refuge within the confines of a strange spaceship that is trapped underwater and inhabited by aquatic creatures. Not surprisingly, this lighter-toned action block was from Williams Street, the producers of late-night programming block Adult Swim and Toonami, a block of programming which Miguzi replaced in the weekday-afternoon timeslot. Miguzi changed its shows often. Miguzi aired action shows from different countries like Ben 10 and Teen Titans from America, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh GX from Japan, and Totally Spies and Code Lyoko from France. As of June 2007, Miguzi is no longer on the Cartoon Network lineup and will be replaced by Master Control, an interactive block announced by the network during their 2007-08 Upfronts in February [3] (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=183847&highlight=Master+Control) [4] (http:// www.cartoonnetwork.com/promos/upfront), premiering in fall 2007. File:Miguzi.png The Miguzi logo Toonami File:Original Toonami Logo.png The original Toonami logo Toonami (a portmanteau of cartoon and tsunami) was initially a block of action- oriented programming on Cartoon Network in the US and UK, and Spain among other countries. The American version premiered on March 17, 1997 as a weekday afternoon block. The regular afternoon block, including Rising Sun (a Saturday morning version of the block, revived as a late-night action block of Batman and Superman), Super Saturdays a Saturday afternoon block with a few premieres), and Midnight Run which was originally a late-night action block on Saturday nights in 1999 before becoming an hour-long weeknight action block on March 6, 2000 that aired the uncut version of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing which was replaced by Outlaw Star in 2001 and repeats of other shows from the afternoon block before being replaced by Adult Swim in 2003). Previous blocks with the Toonami branding included Toonami Midnight Run (which premiered on July 10, 1999 and was initially a five-hour weekend-only block airing at midnight before stripping to weeknights at midnight starting in March 2000 until January 2003), Toonami Rising Sun (which The current Toonami logo. aired from April 2000 on Saturday mornings until September 2003, when it got rebranded as an overnight block featuring Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series), and Toonami Super Saturdays (which aired from 2002 until March 2003). Currently, the United States version of Toonami airs on Saturdays from 7 to 11 p.m. (E/P). Some shows in this program include Naruto, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. The Toonami brand was subsequently used in the United Kingdom as the title of a Cartoon Network- operated UK spinoff channel in its own right in September 2003, a little under a year after the network launched as CNX. In 2006, the network relaunched as a general entertainment network with little emphasis on action-animation. For the rest of the territories that have Cartoon Network, Toonami remains a block with many of the same shows seen in the United States as well as regional exclusives like Battle B-Daman, Power Rangers (In the Philippines), Todd McFarlane's Spawn, Machine Robo Rescue, Granzasers, X-Men: Evolution, Shadow Raiders, Beyblade, and others. However, in the United States, Battle B-Daman does not air on the Toonami block. Prime Time Prime Time was a programming block that ran from late 1998-2002. Prime Time would showcase Hanna Barbera Cartoons & Cartoons from the Present, such as Scooby-Doo, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Flintstones, Tom & Jerry, Cow & Chicken, and occasionally Dragon Ball Z and Looney Tunes, and The Powerpuff Girls. File:PrimeTime2000.png The Prime Time logo. Adult Swim Adult Swim is Cartoon Network's Adult Sister Network, which premiered on September 2, 2001 in the USA. Originally a Sunday-only block that also reran on Thursdays, Adult Swim airs Saturday nights at 11 p.m. (E/P), Monday through Thursday nights at 11 PM. (E/P) and Sunday nights at 10 PM (E/P) with an encore airing at 2 a.m. and then ending with an hour of older shows on every night but Sunday. The block, programmed by Williams Street, the same group that created Toonami and Miguzi, plays American animated comedy series and shorts geared towards audiences 14 and older and a wide variety of anime series and OVAs intended for audiences 18 and older. The name comes from the name for hours designated at public swimming pools where only adults can swim in the pool. On March 28, 2005, the programming block was spun-off as a separate entity from Cartoon Network for Nielsen Ratings purposes. On March 27, 2006, Adult Swim started airing a half- hour early at 10:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday (E/P)but due to the Friday block added on July 6, 2007 on July 2, 2007 they dropped the extra 30 minutes bringing it back to air at 11pm E/P Mondays-Saturdays. The Adult Swim logo Preschool programming The first preschool programming block on Cartoon Network in the United States was Small World, afterwords Big Bag premiered on June 2, 1996. Big Bag featured animated shorts from around the world and live action Muppet scenes. Big Bag ended in September 1998. The second block, Tickle U premiered on August 22, 2005. Pipoca, Henderson, and Place hosted the block. Tickle U stopped in September 2006. Its official site (http://www.tickleu.com) is now a redirect to the Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs page on the channel's official site. File:Tickle U logo.png Logo for Tickle U     Currently, Cartoon Network broadcasts preschool programs on weekday mornings, although there is no preschool specific block. It is unknown whether a fourth block is coming to Cartoon Network or not. Saturday Video Entertainment System The Saturday Video Entertainment System was a Toonami-like block of action animation airing Saturday nights from March 17, 2003 to April 10, 2004. SVES was packaged like a video game, with a Samus Aran-like character in bumps reminiscent of older arcade/SNES game design. This block was also designed by Williams Street. Films Cartoon Theatre Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theatre in full (or Movie Madness, as it's now called), is Cartoon Network's film series, featuring animated theatrical films, animated television films, and films made for Cartoon Network. It originally ran once a week on Saturday nights, the feature film of each week would be regularly advertised on the network making it an anticipated special movie event. The block used a classical western style with a theatrical quality of feel in its bumpers, involving a realistic- looking old-time ticket machine and a freely drifting movie ticket on top of a wood desk accompanied by the voice of Don LaFontaine, the footage being used before and after commercial breaks and in commercials advertising the block itself. The amount of time Cartoon Theatre ran varied, and based solely on the amount of time the feature film ran, and would perhaps disagree with Cartoon Network's hour-by-hour schedule. To even out the block's time-frame, a sub-block titled Toon Extra, a block based on newspaper delivery, aired after Cartoon Theatre films showing one or more cartoons helping to add less than an extra hour of content to span out the perhaps uneven time slot, when the block was still called Cartoon Theatre. If Toon Extra didn't completely fill the time slot a few extra commercials may be aired, plus the occasional black-out for lesser amounts of unadded seconds. Since 2004, live-action films, regardless if they are cartoon-related (though most are), became part of Cartoon Network's library of movies. Cartoon Network Original Movies Thirteen made-for-TV movies have aired on Cartoon Network. These films are, in effect, movie-length special episodes of Cartoon Network series Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Camp Lazlo, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, My Gym Partner's a Monkey, Teen Titans, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Ben 10.

This marathon would air nearly every Bugs Bunny cartoon ever made in chronological order, with the exception of war-time shorts and those deemed racist and offensive. However, with there being considerably less than 48 hours of shorts, it would repeat several times. June Bugs has occasionally aired on sister network Boomerang Last Bell Last Bell was a Cartoon Network weekday afternoon block which used to air weekdays from 2pm- 5pm in the past. Last Bell lasted from August 2003 to June 11, 2004.

It originally aired for four hours every weekend. The block's start time jumped frequently, with the Saturday block moving to Saturday afternoons, then back to the early morning, and the Sunday block moving to Sunday evenings. Eventually, Boomerang was shortened by an hour, making the total airing time 2 hours each weekend instead of the original four hours. File:Boomerang Logo.JPG The logo of Boomerang in the United Kingdom, Spain and other European countries. Boomerang (both the programming block and the original spinoff channel that launched on April 1, 2000) followed a unique programming format - every week, cartoons produced during a certain year (and cartoons produced during years prior to that year) would be showcased. For example, if Boomerang was showcasing the year 1969, the viewer would more than likely see an episode of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! or Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines. File:Boomerang-logo (CN).gif Boomerang's original logo File:Minilogoboomerang.jpg Boomerang Latin America logo since April 3, 2006 Once the Boomerang channel was launched in 2000, promos for the channel aired at the end of every broadcasted show during the block in attempt to gain popularity for Boomerang. Also, all of the older programming on Cartoon Network, including Looney Tunes and shows from Hanna-Barbera migrated to Boomerang. On October 2 and October 3, 2004 nearly four months after the re-launch of the Cartoon Network, the Boomerang block was replaced by Adult Swim everyday with older reruns of classic anthologies like The Popeye Show, The Bob Clampett Show, ToonHeads, and former Boomerang fare like The Gary Coleman Show and Super Globetrotters. October 2 and 3rd were the last times Looney Tunes officially aired on Cartoon Network. Get Animated When Cartoon Network still ran its CGI city look (see 2004-2006), a promo aired involving the Mayor of Townsville officially opening the Animation Station, a fictional recreational dome facility. Thus began Cartoon Network's still-running Get Animated promotion, a campaign encouraging children to get active, more importantly in outdoor areas. Created in part of the American government's goal for a more active, and generally healthier generation, other kids' channels generally aired similar promotions during this time (such as Nickelodeon's Go Healthy Challenge). Original promos involved many different cartoon characters, and real kids, enjoying physical activities inside the Animation Station. Once Cartoon Network scrapped their CGI city look the Animation Station promos were abandoned, but the Get Animated campaign still continued. Current promos still show cartoon characters playing alongside kids, though occasional sports celebrities (such as Freddie Adu) make appearances. Other promos show real kids who make great physically-related achievements, or cartoon characters explaining ways of getting active. Cartoon Network's 10th Anniversary On October 1, 2002, Cartoon Network's 10th birthday, Cartoon Network aired a one-day special bumper acknowledging their 10th [2] anniversary. . This year will be the network's 15th anniversary. However, there has been no advertising for the anniversary whatsoever. Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall File:CN10A.jpg Scene from Cartoon Network's "10 Years in 60 Seconds" Bumper It was announced in July 2006 that Cartoon Network has teamed with Seoul-based Grigon Entertainment to bring a Cartoon Network based MMOG to the global marketplace.

The show includes characters and music from a wide array of Disney films. The music also includes a theme song adapted from Hong Kong Disneyland's 10th anniversary celebration (and its subsequent show Mickey and the Wondrous Book); the song is performed by Angie Keilhauer and Jordan Fisher.

Opening
A keyhole appears on Cinderella Castle. A narration says: "And they all lived happily ever after... Each of us has a dream, a heart’s desire. It calls to us. And when we’re brave enough to listen, and bold enough to pursue, that dream will lead us on a journey to discover who we’re meant to be. All we have to do is look inside our hearts and unlock the magic within..."

Magical pixie dust flows through the keyhole and covers the castle and surrounding turrets in royal red and gold as the Happily Ever After theme song plays.

Dreams
Introduced by Tiana, we see various Disney characters longing for their deepest desires – Ariel wishing to be ‘part of our world’, Remy for his own career as a cook in Paris, Rapunzel for freedom from her tower, and Quasimodo for one day to be ‘out there’ from the tower of Notre Dame.

Songs include: "Down in New Orleans (Prologue)", "Part of Your World", and "Out There".

Journey
Introduced by Merida, characters from Brave, A Bug's Life, Cars, Up, Finding Nemo, and Moana are shown embarking on their adventures.

Songs include: "Touch the Sky" and "How Far I'll Go".

Friendship
Introduced by Aladdin, this segment highlights the friendships shared by Disney characters from Tarzan, The Lion King, Toy Story, The Jungle Book, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Inside Out, Monsters Inc., and Aladdin. The segment comes full circle with a showstopping performance by the Genie.

Songs featured: "Trashin' the Camp", "Hakuna Matata", "You've Got a Friend in Me", "The Bare Necessities", "I've Got No Strings", "That’s What Friends Are For", and "Friend Like Me".

Love
Introduced by Olaf, a full moon rises across the castle that leads into romances and acts of love shared by characters from Wall-E, The Lion King, Tarzan, Zootopia, Finding Dory, Up, and Dumbo. The castle turns into a garden with waterfalls and then transitions to show silhouettes of Disney princes and princesses; floating lanterns from Tangled are seen covering the castle as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider duet and send their own lanterns to the top of the castle.

Songs featured are "Love is an Open Door", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", "You'll Be in My Heart", "A Whole New World", and "I See the Light".

Adversity
Introduced by the Emperor of China from Mulan, the show becomes aggressive and loud, highlighting the climactic battles and challenges the characters face including epic scenes from The Incredibles, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, and Pirates of the Caribbean. The castle and its surroundings are peppered with explosions as many more climactic scenes are shown. When it is over, the castle is left a flaming ruin with gaping holes in its sides.

Music featured include instrumental selections from Frozen and The Lion King, and "He's a Pirate".

Triumph
The visage constellation of Mufasa appears across a starry sky reminding us to “remember who [we] are”. As an inspirational version of "Go the Distance" from Hercules plays, turret by turret, the castle gradually repairs itself while we see the featured characters in their triumphant moments. As the music swells, the structure turns gold with stained-glass portraits of the characters, all of them accomplishing their 'happily ever after'.

Finale
The show ends with the narrator challenging the audience to unlock their own magic and make their dreams come true, just as the characters did. The keyhole reappears and a pixie flies from it, leaving a trail of dust around the central plaza. As the castle restores itself to red and gold, the pixie flies up to the highest spire, where it’s revealed to be Tinker Bell, making her flight over the park to the familiar refrain of "You Can Fly". The castle and illuminated central plaza change color as multi-color peony fireworks appear in the sky. The keyhole then turns and opens, unleashing a colorful final set of fireworks.
