Cartoon Network Africa Has Been Acknowledging It's Older Library Of Content

Also Read

It appears that Cartoon Network in Africa has been following a trend seen in the United States and some parts of the world where various old content has suddenly now resurfaced on the channel. First there was Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated followed by Batman: The Brave And The Bold.

To some viewer's surprise, the channel aired The Powerpuff Girls: The Movie something which dates back to the early 2000s. A timeline Warner Bros. Discovery had been very distant toward I mean most of the content they have in development are based on IPs from 2010.

These include Steven Universe: Lars Of The Stars, A Regular Show revival series and The Wonderfully Weird Of Gumball. Only one of the three will be added to Cartoon Network while the latter could be made exclusive to streaming.

If you are a viewer like myself you're probably even wondering why after 8-10+ years this channel had started allocating this content. My presumed guess would have to do with the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery, which again is set to split.

During this merger period, Warner Bros. Discovery cancelled several projects some of which had fully been developed such as Scoob! A Holiday Haunt and Batgirl. As for Cartoon Network, reports had surfaced that a Megas XLR revival was in development but due to this merger it got killed off.

Warner Bros. Discovery has been floating in debt worth almost $40 billion and according to some insiders the company stopped commissioning for Cartoon Network and are leveraging of IPs instead. They can't risk losing more money so they'd rather do more sequel series for Adventure Time to make money.

The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball which is expected to debut on Cartoon Network in October, has been added to Hulu in the US. Steven Universe: Lars Of The Stars is in development for Prime Video so don't be surprised if that never sees the light of day on Cartoon Network.

Some can argue that Warner Bros. has got plenty of content from these companies very much like NBCUniversal has with DreamWorks Animation. But in reality, a majority of these shows reside outside of Cartoon Network's current demographic being 6-12 year olds.

In the US, consumers have a shot in viewing this content through the channel's adult block in other countries offering such content on Cartoon Network would be a punishable offence. This would leave Cartoon Network in other countries with old content.

Rumour: StuGO Cancelled On Disney Channel After One Season

Also Read

StuGo is an American animated television series created by Ryan Gillis. The series revolves around a group of gifted middle schoolers who find themselves in a mysterious island in the Caribbean inhabited by the mad scientist Dr. Lullah, who brought them there under the guise of spending time at an academic summer camp. It serves as a co-production between Disney Television Animation and Titmouse, Inc., StuGo which premiered on Disney Channel on January 11, 2025.

It features the voices of:

• Tania Gunadi as Pliny, an Indonesian-American fun-loving, creative, resourceful, passionate, idealistic, and inventive girl. 

• Zosia Mamet as Merian, a high-strung, cautious, and anxious, yet intelligent perfectionist who is the daughter of two marine biologists. 

• Gabourey Sidibe as Francis, an African-American stoic, calm, and collected oddball with a deep voice. Svetlana, a mutant opossum. 

• Lo Mutuc as Larry, a Taiwanese-American enthusiastic, reckless, quirky, and upbeat boy who is fond of bugs and adventure.

• Zach Reino as Chip Manhands, a nerdy boy who is light in brawn but hefty in brain and proclaims to be masculine and overly confident. 

• Deborah Baker Jr. as: Sara, a chubby, nerdy, and headstrong girl who isn't afraid to use force. She is intensely competitive and a bit of a wildcard.

A few months ago, rumours had been swirling around about the possible cancellation of StuGO on Disney Channel. This would have followed an onslaught of series to have been booted by the network including Hamster And Gretel, Primos and Hailey's On It.

Since then fans had been using social platforms to air their grievances this attracted attention to StuGO's showrunner Ryan Gillis who issued out an official statement at the time:

 "I've been seeing #SaveStuGo floating around! Thank you very much for caring about the show! We haven't been cancelled yet- all eyes are gonna be on StuGo's Disney+ performance. So (please) tune in on July 30th! 😅 We'll have more content soon, leading up to the drop!" 

Recently, Titmouse who served as the production house for StuGO alongside Disney Television Animation had removed the series from their lineup. Fueling further speculation that StuGO will not be returning for a second season.
