Why is #RIPcartoonnetwork trending?

Cartoon Network

In the year 2002, you rush home from school in order to see the highly anticipated Scooby-Doo episode at 5.30 p.m. Then comes a brief episode of Pingu the cuddly penguin, followed by, of course, the lovely and naughty adventures of Tom and Jerry. The good life! We apologise for sinking you in a sea of memories because we are about to shock you fairly hard to get you out of it.

Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation are about to combine. Though repeated layoffs from the Cartoon Network staff and news of restructurings inside Warner Bros. Television Group following the merger have fans concerned for the future of the well-known animation studio. Kids of the millennial generation are better off thanks to Cartoon Network’s distinctive storytelling approach and wide variety of cartoon characters. The characters, from Samurai Jack the courageous warrior to Courage the Cowardly Dog, became a part of our upbringing.

Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG), according to a report by ABC News, revealed on Tuesday that they were eliminating 125 roles, or 26% of their workforce, across scripted, unscripted, and animated programming. Internet users have flocked to Twitter since the news to pay homage to the original Cartoon Network. On the microblogging platform, #RIPCartoonNetwork was trending.
