Cartoonito | |
Launched |
Fall 2021 |
Cartoonito is an upcoming preschool block on Cartoon Network and HBO Max, named after the international brand of the same name.
Current logo for the original British channel and the Italian channel, used since launch. They will probably implement the new logo, as they recently updated their logo animation probably to fit better the new logo.
History
The Brand as a whole
On September 4, 2006, months after Tickle U ended, the now-defunct British sister channel Cartoon Network Too debuted a new programming block called Cartoonito, running from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily. Series featured in Cartoonito were acquired from countries around the world, and were available in both English and French. The block was later given its own channel on 24 May 2007. Whereas Cartoon Network Too ceased operations in 2014, the Cartoonito channel remains operational as of 2021.
Cartoonito USA
With the announcement of Batwheels on October 6, 2020, Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics president Tom Ascheim implied about plans for Cartoon Network to jump into preschool.
In a 5 February 2021 interview with Kidscreen, Ascheim revealed that Cartoon Network would be expanding its programming offerings to include series aimed at families, girls, and preschool children. The interview coincided with the acquisition of broadcast rights to Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!, a reboot of the original Thomas & Friends series.
On 17 February, WarnerMedia announced that an official Cartoonito block would launch on Cartoon Network in the fall, with an additional streaming component for HBO Max. Launch programming includes 20 new series, such as Batwheels, Bugs Bunny Builders, Little Ellen and Tom and Jerry Junior from Warner Bros. Animation; Bea's Block and Mecha Builders from Sesame Workshop; Jessica's Big Little World, a spin-off of Craig of the Creek; and acquired series Ladybird Lu, Lucas the Spider, Mush-Mush & The Mushables, and Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!.
