Animation Guild spreads #RIPCartoonNetwork on Twitter ahead of contract expiration, internet points out wounds were self-inflicted


Recommended Posts

The studio has been fused into Warner Bros. Animation and the CN Studios brand is little more than window dressing to identify some shows that started on CN. Essentially CNS is just like Hanna Barbera under Warner control. A library of old IPs to occasionally trot out for nostalgia or if someone has a "new spin" on them that the company approves of. The culture is gone and a sizable chunk of the jobs are gone and the people with them.

The channel? It's a walking corpse being strung along by Adult Swim. With no vision and little purpose. So it might as well be dead but it's still on the air and probably will stay on the air for years to come.

The video’s framed to care about thousands out of work and then it just asks everyone to tweet about dead Cartoon Network shows.

Yeah that is a mixed message if ever there was one and the hashtag has people thinking CN went off the air.

They get no one will do anything of substance, so they weaponize online nostalgia bait that would happen regardless.

The # is so they’ll have even more pieces dunking on Cartoon Network for being useless. Higher ups don’t care about CN’s condition or cartoon hashtags so this is just smug bullshit saying nothing.

I didn't even know HOW right I was.
