“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” With these words, Charles Dickens described the terror and tumult of the French Revolution, an era in which wisdom clashed with foolishness. Of course, he could have easily been describing a different struggle altogether: the struggle for Millennials to find their favorite cartoons on streaming!
Historically, some of the best cartoons are owned by Warner Bros, but it has become increasingly hard to find these animated classics on HBO Max. Fortunately, another streamer is about to get all your favorite old shows, and you won’t have to pay a thing to see them. That’s because on March 1, Tubi will begin streaming some of the animated hits that helped define your entire childhood!
Tubi Is In Its Cartoon Era
While the streamer tried to keep this animated extravaganza a secret, fans soon discovered that Tubi was planning a massive rollout of cartoons. In turn, the streamer revealed the whole list of what it will be streaming, proclaiming on X that it is entering its “cartoon era.” That’s a bold claim, but they have the animated lineup to back it up.
Superhero fans are sure to enjoy titles like The New Adventures of Batman, Justice League, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Fans of vintage adventure shows will enjoy throwbacks like Jonny Quest, Captain Planet, The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show, and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. Fans of after-school comedies, meanwhile, will enjoy series such as Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, and Pinky and the Brain.
If you’re in the mood to relive classic Cartoon Network, Tubi will be adding titles likePower Puff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, and Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy. Certain franchises are getting more shows than others: for example, the streamer is adding eight different Scooby-Doo titles, five Looney Tunes titles, five different Tom & Jerry titles, and five Yogi titles.
Believe it or not, this is just a partial list of what’s coming to Tubi. Be sure to check out the full list to see how many of your favorites are coming to the streamer.
Nobody’s Changing Their Toon
Fans across the internet have been generally delighted to learn how many animated shows and movies are coming to Tubi on March 1. Some of these are younger cartoon fans who are eager to check out the glory days of their favorite franchises. However, most of the excited fans are Millennials who grew up watching these shows on Warner Bros. networks like Time Warner and TBS.
Many such WB titles have been disappearing with alarming regularity from HBO Max. This has baffled fans who are suddenly asking why the streamer isn’t taking advantage of its extensive library of content. Now, fans are about to flock to Tubi for their cartoon fix, and not for the first time: Looney Tunes proved to be an immense success when it went from Max to Tubi, paving the way for a long-awaited franchise revival.
Mark Your Calendar, Cartoon Fans
All of the above titles and more are dropping on Tubi on March 1. Animation fans need to mark their calendar and start streaming their favorites right away. Don’t forget that this is the perfect time to introduce your friends to a new show or two.
These days, we pay with our clicks, and Looney Tunes is proof that fan interest can help revive old franchises. Clicking on your favorite titles this March is a great way to show companies like Warner Bros. that you want more of a certain franchise. Plus, you can do it in the best possible way: by reliving your childhood, one classic cartoon at a time!
