Development Alert: More Boomerang Coming Soon To Cartoon Network Africa With Mr. Magoo

Mr. Magoo follows the eponymous kind-hearted fellow who is always happy to lend a hand—but often causes disasters instead, as without his glasses he makes all kinds of chaotic mix-ups. Despite this, his only enemy is Fizz, a megalomaniacal hamster who is somehow always accidentally thwarted by Magoo. 

Produced by Xilam (Zig & Sharko), the first season was broadcast on Boomerang across EMEA in 2019. Since March 2023, the channel is known as Cartoonito in which Warner Bros. Discovery at the time mentioned that all Boomerang shows would be retained on the brand.

If anything, Warner Bros. Discovery blantly lied as Mr. Magoo is listed as a "channel premiere" for August. Weird is how shows like Looney Tunes Cartoons and Mr. Bean which some viewers may find inappropriate for preschool television be transmitted on Cartoonito.

Take to account, Cartoonito hasn't been around for that long so consumers probably won't realise it's a preschool brand especially the above-mentioned forming part of the lineup. Interesting to note, Mr. Magoo was phased out from Boomerang once it switched to Cartoonito.

Other shows also phased out at the time included Legend Of Spark, Lamput and Ninja Express. Curious on what led to the axing particularly with Mr. Magoo as Boomerang had used it for their Mr. Vs. Mr. stunt earlier in the year.

Looking at this development, could it be possible that more shows once seen on Boomerang will be added on Cartoon Network. For Looney Tunes and Mr. Beans case I honestly doubt it but for Ninja Express probably as the latter weren't really big on Boomerang.
