Schedule: Cartoonito's Disastrous Return To Boomerang Africa

Cartoonito is set to go live on April 4th at 06:30 CAT on Boomerang and we didn't know how the schedule would look as WarnerMedia was trying to keep it on the down low but thanks to sources we now got an idea on how the schedule is constructed.

Cartoonito:
06:30 Dino Ranch
06:50 Thomas & Friends
07:15 Kingdom Force

Cartoonito's past carnation had at least 6 hours on weekdays but this new one has close to 2 hours on air. Worst of all, this format is carried out on weekends at the exact same time.

 

In the promo provided on Boomerang's YouTube channel, it seems like most of Cartoonito's existence will be based on the existing offering on the channel with some exceptions like Thomas And Friends and the upcoming series Lucas The Spider.

Boomerang remains intact but from what is seen on the schedule Masha, Grizzy, Tom and Taffy don't fall under Cartoonito as they're classified preschool. Theoretically, it is believed the block will replace the whole channel in future.

07:30 Masha And The Bear
08:00 Zig & Sharko
08:25 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
09:10 Ninja Express
09:35 Zig & Sharko
09:55 Grizzy and The Lemmings
10:10 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
10:55 Masha And The Bear
11:15 Zig & Sharko
11:40 Taffy
11:50 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
12:10 Mr. Bean
12:35 Tom And Jerry In New York
12:50 Zig & Sharko
13:15 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
14:00 Masha And The Bear
14:20 Zig & Sharko
 

14:45 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
15:35 Taffy
15:50 Masha And The Bear
16:20 Ninja Express
16:35 Zig & Sharko
17:00 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
17:20 Masha And The Bear
18:05 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
18:50 Ninja Express
19:15 Looney Tunes Cartoons
19:35 The Tom And Jerry Show
20:00 Mr Magoo
20:20 Scooby-Doo And Guess Who?
20:45 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
21:30 The Tom And Jerry Show
22:15 Masha And The Bear
23:00 New Looney Tunes
23:45 Zig & Sharko
00:30 Grizzy And The Lemmings
01:15 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series
02:00 Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!
02:45 The Tom And Jerry Show
03:30 Taffy
03:50 Moka's Fabulous Adventures
04:15 Grizzy And The Lemmings
04:35 Mr Magoo
05:00 Zig & Sharko
05:20 Taffy
05:40 Masha And The Bear
06:05 Mr. Bean: The Animated Series

 

Cartoonito sets out to not only offer preschool but family based programming so if Boomerang could exempt themselves from some shows such as Zig & Sharko, Ninja Express and Looney Tunes then you'd get an idea what the brand is about.

Cartoon Network hasn't confirmed whether they'll include the preschool brand in their lineup but they likely will as seen in most parts of Europe beside the fact that some content will be produced in their studios.

New Gadgets: Random Posts And Related Posts

We know how some people get irritated by the nearsight of links inbetween a post that's why we begun testing out two new features to help reduce that, Random Posts and Related Posts.

Random Posts can be seen if you switch from the mobile version of our website to desktop (the option can be found below Insidus). As the name implies readers will see links to several articles on our site and it changes everytime a user gets into another link or even reloads the website.

Basically, it doesn't stick to particular articles like Related Posts.

 
 

Related Posts can be seen if you are using the mobile version of our site and entering the post on Insidus. To help readers better understand this tool what it does is source content from the tags seen at the bottom of an article or sidebar on the left through the desktop version of the site.

These two gadgets will replace the "Also read" sections of the post or at least most of it. We know some readers who love Cartoon Network might be interested in what's happening with Nickelodeon so the simple solution would be using the tags as discussed in the related posts paragraph.
