Whether it was fighting crime with the Powerpuff Girls, or playing detective with Scooby-Doo and the mystery gang, we can’t deny that Cartoon Network was an integral part of our childhood, and earlier this month, when Warner Bros decided to draw curtains on the Cartoon Network website, 90’s kids couldn’t help but miss the good old days. The impact that Cartoon Network had on millennials was immense, and not only entertainment value, it gave us so many stories, so many characters to relate to, and well, so many memories.
The news of the Cartoon Network shutdown drew reactions from all over the world, with users sharing their emotional bond with the channel growing up.
What happened to Cartoon Network?
Well, the short answer is the internet. But in the bigger scheme of streaming platforms, corporates redesigning their content strategies, and declining viewership, Warner Bros suffered losses on the Cartoon Network website, which was the one single place you could find the shows, games, news, and other fun tidbits. With Warner Bros signup with Discover Max, the company had long started migrating its shows on the streaming platform, but the Cartoon Network website was still running. With losses in picture, and changing viewer demographic, last week, Warner Bros decided it was time to say goodbye to the website too.
You love Cartoon Network, where to watch it?
Discovery Max is the answer you’re looking for. If you visit the Cartoon Network website now, it redirects you to the Max streaming homepage, where among other great content, you will also find Cartoon Network shows, from as old as Ben 10 to as new as We Bare Bears.
While the Cartoon Network website might’ve been gone, there’s no taking away the memories we made with Sunday morning shows!
