In May 2025, rumors began to circulate on social media that the Cartoonito block is potentially being discontinued or going on hiatus after May 23. This unsettling news comes after a sudden disappearance from Cartoon Network's schedule after this date. As of now, Warner Bros. Discovery has not officially confirmed the discontinuation or hiatus, leaving fans in a state of uncertainty and concern.

Cartoon Network and its related programming blocks have long been an integral source of entertainment and nostalgia for viewers of all ages. The recent changes, however, have disrupted this tradition, impacting the enjoyment and routine of countless fans. The Checkered Past block on Adult Swim, while appealing to a niche audience, does not provide the same family-friendly viewing experience as the Cartoonito and ACME Night blocks do.

Cartoonito provides content that caters to young viewers and their families, fostering an environment of learning and fun. ACME Night, with its diverse selection of family-friendly movies and shows, extends this offering into the evening, creating a perfect blend of engaging content for families to enjoy together. The potential hiatus of Cartoonito could marginalize its audience, leaving a gap in quality programming for younger viewers.

We propose putting the Cartoonito block on hiatus only until the Checkered Past block on Adult Swim is discontinued and ACME Night returns to Cartoon Network's lineup. This adjustment would ensure that the needs of all viewership demographics are met equitably, maintaining the balance and tradition that Cartoon Network fans have come to expect.

Join us in urging Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Discovery to consider the viewing needs of all audiences and restore the programming that fans value most. Let's ensure that every viewer has access to the content that brings joy and satisfaction. Please sign this petition to bring back ACME Night and preserve the viewing experience that generations of fans cherish.
