Almost every 90s kid grew up watching shows like ‘The Powerpuff Girls‘, ‘Scooby Doo‘ and ‘Dexter’s lab‘ on CartoonNetwork. So of course, after hearing the news that their beloved Cartoon Network will now merge with Warner Bros Animation, several internet users around the world flocked to Twitter to pay tribute to the original channel that was founded on October 1, 1992.
While some thanked Cartoon Network for 30 years of wonderful stories and characters, others simply went down the memory lane and remembered the iconic shows they watched on the channel.
“It’s the end of an era. End of our childhood. I don’t know why, but this makes me a little emotional. Thank you Cartoon Network for bringing smiles and joy back to that time,” wrote one user.
“RIP Cartoon Network. The best cartoon channel ever. Thanks for all the childhood memories. 1992-2022,” said another. “Cartoon Network is my whole world. My faith and everything that constructs me,” commented third.

Meanwhile, according to Collider, news of the merger was announced Tuesday via a company-wide memo from chairman Channing Dungey. Now Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation are consolidating their animation teams as part of a “strategic reshuffle” for Warner Bros. Discovery.
This news came after it was revealed that Warner Bros. Television Group (WBTVG) has laid off 82 scripted, unscripted and animation employees, who make up about 26% of the company’s workforce. In addition, it was even reported that Warner Bros currently has no plans to fill 43 other vacant positions.
