Cartoonito International News and Discussion Thread

You get the point. Talk about any Cartoonito outside the US. Ready set go!

I don't think Boomerang will be replaced by Cartoonito in the rest of the world...

I mean some parts of Africa were scheduled to launch Cartoonito which is Boomerang Jr. which consists of 75% of the current Boomerang.

Keep in mind that WarnerMedia EMEA is launching a linear channel for Cartoonito and I doubt they'll copy the UK whose Boomerang is likely on autopilot

Great!

Hopefully the Italian rebrand is close too

I would hope so, I remember that Italy had the current graphics package before us. The UK/USA YouTube channel is now shared and is using the new branding, so it would make sense for Cartoonito UK to rebrand as soon as possible.

I used to find it funny that Italy was rather fast rebranding Boomerang (when they changed the logo) and Boing, but abandoned their main channel - Cartoon Network on Check It 1.0. for too long.

Crazy, but it's an extreme version of what happens in some other EMEA countries, see teh Mish mash from the German team, CEE operations are still left with Check It 4.0 remnants

That means the Cartoonito UK will finally say goodbye to original mascots?

Yes, and very likely Italy too .

They had a long, successful run (in Italy, where the channel is even more successful because of being FTA , even some toys based on them are available!).

Sadly, they won't launch separated account for the US, unlike Cartoon Network & Boomerang.

CN Arabic and CN Turkey Blocks were supposed to be rebranded earlier before the UK and Italy, as CN US has already the block, but they're waiting for the UK to rebrand, and that earlier this month, it got recently launched in Latin America.

Currently, there is no rebrand to CN Arabic's Cartoonito Block, and maybe it would occur on April/May 2022.

Yep it will be, although the new ones are loosely based on the old mascots.

Nito = Cuba
Wedge = Spike
Itty = Bubble

The only original character is Glob, which is probably a mixture between Lolly and Bubble.

Yes, similarly based on shapes

What will slightly be confused with this rebrand, is that it vaguely connects Cartoonito with Cartoon Network, which here is only available on paying TV.

Unless the strategy is to move CN to DTT in Italy after the merger with Discovery and replacing either K2 or Frisbee (or both), Boomerang will just close.

I think in this situation, Boing will continue to air a mixture of animated and live-action programming, with repeats of Cartoon Network shows (plus some classics), but with the shows Discovery has the rights too (that air on K2 and Frisbee) plus some acquired shows that don't air on CN (especially live-action), plus maybe some Boomerang shows as well that are excluded from CN. The pre-school Discovery shows can just air on Cartoonito. As a result, this would create three strong channels with different purposes, and CN wouldn't undermine Boing as a result.

If CN Italy went FTA (like CN Arabic & CN Turkey) on Digital terrestrial TV (DTT), then CN Italy +1 will cease transmission on the same day, and Sky Italia Infocard will appear on the channel.

In your opinion, Boing will possibly stay with Warner/Mediaset, even when Discovery takeover WarnerMedia, and won’t be sold its remaining stakes to Mediaset (which in my opinion will lead, if that happens, to airing Disney & DreamWorks, and European Animated Content, instead of CN/Warner ones), nor completely takeover Cartoonito Italy from Mediaset by Warner.

So, both Boing and Cartoonito Italy will stay as it is, even if CN Italy went DTT.

In my opinion, with Discovery closing their kids channels on DTT, and with Boing and Cartoonito co-owned by Mediaset (and also possibly CN on DTT), it will make the approval process for the WarnerMedia/Discovery merger easier and will likely be passed by the regulators, especially as it's co-owned by an Italian/EEA company. Yes, CN Italy +1 will close as a result, same for Boomerang +1.

I don't think any of the channels will be sold entirely to Mediaset, the whole idea behind the partnership is that Mediaset provides the broadcasting and WarnerMedia provides the content.

At least with Boing and Cartoonito at the moment, they're not limited to WarnerMedia content, it might also be an opportunity for CN to get FTA rights for certain shows from other studios too.

For those asking which feed Canal+ Ethiopia was referring to for the switch from Boomerang to Cartoonito. As seen below they were referring to the EMEA feed but for some reason it didn't take place.

We've been already talking about Cartoonito on the Boomerang thread for years now. I don't know we needed this. Especially when Cartoonito might be a preschool block on Boomerang in most places.

I believe Cartoonito will kill off Boomerang in markets which is deemed successful like EMEA or markets where they're able to pull pull a ton of viewers presumably Latin America
