The Tom And Jerry Show Might Be Eyeing A Potential Rollout On Cartoon Network In Some Countries

The Cartoonito channel was launched in most parts of the world by 2023 after debuting on Boomerang years prior offering shows like Cocomelon, Thomas And Friends and Dino Ranch. At the time, Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA had stated that remaining shows from Boomerang would form part of Cartoonito 

But that was never the case as Mr. Magoo was picked by Cartoon Network in Africa with the network possibly eyeing The Tom And Jerry Show. It had already been confirmed that the show will be airing in parts of Europe and if I had to guess this may not a complete integration of the franchise.

Prior to this, Cartoon Network (Italy and MENA) had been uploading several content to The Tom And Jerry Show on YouTube and it's too soon to tell when or if the same fate will await Africa. So far Cartoon Network Africa has only uploaded the classic Tom And Jerry (alongside Looney Tunes) so maybe they'll be eyeing those shows.

If I'm being honest, I don't think Cartoon Network Africa will license those shows for the foreseeable future if they hadn't prioritised their older collection of shows for a decade, why start now. Most people that watched the classic iterations aren't watching the channel especially in the era of streaming so again pointless.

Unless this was a reference to The Tom And Jerry Show and Looney Tunes Cartoons then that would make a lot more sense. As for Europe, Warner Bros. Discovery is probably cross promoting/marketing shows we've got plenty of that with Discovery's boutique of channels.

And now even the Warner part is looking to integrate as Harry Potter: Wizards Of Baking is eyeing a debut on Cartoon Network in Africa. This cross promotion is probably Warner's way of giving these shows more exposure some people are like Cartoonito is for toddlers but there's Tom And Jerry so slotting that on Cartoon Network will make them reconsider.
