Boomerang:

Earlier this month, Boomerang was expected to fold under Cartoonito as advertised by Canal+ through the Ethiopian region. None of that took place as advertised by them so the question remained on which Boomerang was affected.

Boomerang Africa currently consists of three feeds. An EMEA feed which is most of Africa is using, A MENA feed which is more foreign than African and lastly a Portuguese feed found in Angola and Mozambique.

Through an image of January highlights you can clearly see they were referring to the EMEA region. If Canal+ was actually planning to seperate themselves from them the switch would have occurred by now.

WarnerMedia EMEA announced a new preschool series for a nonexistent Cartoonito channel and coincidence Ethiopia announced the demise of Boomerang.

From what was already seen, Cartoonito has a lot of existing content part of which is on Boomerang. The idea of phasing out the brand would help Cartoon Network immensely with their family offering.

The fact Canal+ put up a launch date only means that it won't be long till we get an update on the brand's presence in the market. I wouldn't be shocked if it launched around March or June of next year.

Baboon Animation Partner Up With African Animation Network While The Motherland Of Cartoon Network Brings Back These Classics Just In Time For Christmas With Boomerang Getting A Lump Of Cole

(new features for desktop users)

Baboon Animation once again join forces with African Animation Network

Baboon Animation partners with African Animation Network on new outfit
US-based Baboon Animation has partnered with the African Animation Network (AAN) on a new unit to work with creators in Africa.

Baboon Animation Africa has launched in partnership with AAN to help foster a “socially responsible animation industry” in Africa, the two organisations said.

The move comes after the two were commissioned by WarnerMedia-owned Cartoon Network Africa to produce superhero series Garbage Boy & Trash Can (10×2’30”) with the show’s creator Ridwan Moshood earlier this year.

Mike de Seve, president of Baboon Animation, said the aim of Baboon Animation Africa is to develop talent and shows in an “equitable and responsible way that keeps creators in the driver’s seat.”

Among the six initiatives the two are set to launch in the next six months as Africa’s animation industry continues to grow are The Great Big African Animation Pitch, slated for early 2022 and focusing on under-represented creators.

Nigerian animator Moshood, creator of Garbage Boy & Trash Can, was identified by Baboon as part of a pan-African talent development partnership with AAN’s Nick Wilson and the Annecy International Animation Festival/MIFA.

“We are building on the success of our new WarnerMedia show, Garbage Boy & Trash Can. Real ownership by African creators is our goal and we have the relationships to do it. AAN pioneered this approach through their social impact goals and together we are expanding,” said de Seve.

“Baboon is a perfect creative partner for this enterprise,” said AAN founder and head of projects and content Wilson, who
developed and produced the continent’s first half-hour adult animated comedy in 2015.

AAN, which links various animation professionals and national associations across Africa, unveiled plans for a linear channel to the media earlier this year.

“We have relationships with the biggest comedy stars and animation talent in Africa. The word is out that we are the go-to people if you have a show. We are the first ones producing African shows in Africa for a global media company,” added Wilson.

Cartoon Network is jolly this festive season

With the festive season upon us, kids from around the world will be putting on their festive attire, grooving to some jingles and decorating the tree with some Christmas ornaments.

As part of the festive season, Cartoon Network will be bringing back classics such as Dexter's Laboratory, Codename: KND, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Chowder, Ed Edd'n Eddy, and the original Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls series.

This format was a thing globally until the mid 2010s where it was retired. Time progresses and viewers eventually outgrow a channel's demographic so if you had to look at it brands need to adapt in order to survive.

Aside from the classics, Cartoon Network entered the preschool space with Cartoonito on top of expanding their slate for family and girls in 2021.

Boomerang just doesn't click

Since the pandemic, Boomerang has going through a rough patch. If I had to recall, last year was the first time the brand didn't have any original programming and it took the same amount of time to realise the root of it all was Cartoonito.

Internationally, the channel seems to be on autopilot as some regions such as Latin America folded it under Cartoonito while EMEA and various markets duplicate content on Cartoon Network, grow the preschool lineup on Boomerang or follow Latin America in the Boomerang purge.

The channel seems to be getting somewhere this festive season as a portion of the schedule is thematic with the rest being the same old same old.

New Android Game: Johnny Bravo's Big Babe Adventure APK Download

(new features for desktop users)

Big Babe Adventure starts, rather typically, with Johnny seeking out women at a chick-flick so he can find one in tears that will fall into his arms.

This plan backfires when they’re all kidnapped and taken to a secret laboratory where an Evil Scientist™ hopes to extract their youth and vitality and use it for himself.

The game takes place entirely in said laboratory, with Johnny navigating each trap-laden room looking for objects to help him progress, and holiday coupons just because.

There’s very little explanation as to why most of the regular cast from the cartoons just so happen to be inside the secret underground laboratory (or ‘lavatory’ as Johnny puts it), but fans will certainly enjoy their inclusion in the game.

This game belongs to GlobalFun in partnership with Cartoon Network.

Steve Harvey Becomes A Judge In New Courtroom Comedy Series And Days Of Our Lives Fate On e.tv Has Finally Been Revealed

(new features for desktop users)
Steve Harvey is never leaving your screens

Judge Steve Harvey is an upcoming American arbitration-based reality comedy court show presided over by famed stand-up comedian and television show presenter Steve Harvey. The series will go as far as 10 episodes when it airs in 2022.

The program is produced by Den of Thieves in association with Walt Disney Television’s newly formed alternative unit. Unlike most other television court show arbitrators, Harvey has never held any judgeship or legal licenses and has no jurisprudence background, which is typically mandated by television court show programming.

To compensate for this, however, the miniseries has billed itself as "Harvey playing by his own rules, basing his courtroom on his own life experiences and some good old common sense." Judge Steve Harvey has been advertised as "Harvey taking on a variety of conflicts and characters in his courtroom, from small claims to big disputes and everything in between."

Steve Harvey has produced several series which have been viewable in Africa such as Family Feud, Little Big Shots and Showtime At The Apollo. Even if M-Net picked it up it's likely that e.tv will follow as their family slate is often centred around him.

Like sands through the hour glass so are the Days Of Our Lives

As viewers fill their stockings with tasty tastes this festive season, e.tv doesn't want to distract viewers with their plans for the holidays. To easen the burden, they'll be filling primetime with repeats.

In 2022, they'll be launching a Turkish romcom Droom Velore and the topic that was on a certain reader's mind was Days Of Our Lives as the airtime had plummeted.

From next year, Days Of Our Lives returns its 16:45 timeslot but the downside there's no repeats as its only available slot will be used for another rerun which is the first season of As Die Skoen Pas.

For those who didn't read the article about the reduction of Kuiertyd repeats I'll summarise a small part. The goal is to add variety and if you're not a cash cow like local soaps then you're screwed.

As Die Skoen Pas is not the only Turkish repeat for next year Vierspel Vuurspel is expected to replace Begeertes at 23:00.

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. You can also follow Doodsondes for Kuiertyd updates.
