Classic Cartoon Network Series Find New Home on Tubi in Massive Streaming Move

In a major win for animation fans, Tubi has announced it’s entering its “cartoon era” with a massive influx of beloved Cartoon Network series arriving March 1. The free streaming platform is rescuing dozens of classic animated shows that have been gradually disappearing from HBO Max in recent years, marking one of the most significant content migrations in recent streaming history.

The announcement, first spotted by Pepsiman of the popular curation YouTube channel Broken Saw, represents a lifeline for fans who have watched their favorite childhood shows vanish from premium streaming services. Tubi’s move signals not just a business decision but a cultural preservation effort for animation history.

The Full Lineup: A Treasure Trove of Animation History

The initial wave launching March 1 reads like a who’s who of animation excellence:

Iconic Super Hero Series:

• Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The critically acclaimed series that reimagined the Dark Knight’s team-ups
• Justice League – The cornerstone of DC animated storytelling
• Teen Titans – The beloved series that balanced action with teenage drama

Cartoon Network Originals:

• Powerpuff Girls – The superpowered sisters who defined ’90s animation
• Ben 10 (2005) – The original series that launched a franchise
• Codename: Kids Next Door – The spy-fi adventure with pint-sized protagonists
• Ed, Edd n Eddy – The misadventures of the cul-de-sac trio
• Dexter’s Laboratory – The boy genius and his secret lab
• Courage the Cowardly Dog – Surreal horror-comedy for kids
• Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends – The heartwarming tale of imaginary companions
• Taz-Mania – The Looney Tunes star’s own series
• Pinky and the Brain – The lab mice plotting world domination

Hidden Gems and Cult Favorites:

• Animaniacs – The Warner siblings return to streaming
• Loonatics Unleashed – The futuristic superhero reimagining of Looney Tunes characters
• Evil Con Carne – The criminally underrated series about a brain in a bear

Why This Matters: More Than Just Nostalgia

This migration represents several significant developments in the streaming landscape. First and foremost, it ensures these cultural touchstones remain accessible to both nostalgic adults and new generations discovering them for the first time. While some series found homes on platforms like Prime Video, many others have been languishing in content purgatory, available only through unofficial means.

The move also validates Tubi’s growing reputation as a haven for classic animation. The platform’s Looney Tunes collection has performed exceptionally well, leading to expanded partnerships including a recent deal with Turner Classic Movies. This success demonstrates that free, ad-supported streaming services can successfully cultivate and maintain valuable content libraries.

A Silver Lining in Warner Bros.’ Streaming Strategy

While Warner Bros. continues to make questionable decisions regarding its content library—including the controversial removal of dozens of shows from HBO Max—this migration at least ensures Cartoon Network’s rich history won’t disappear entirely. The network, celebrating its 30th anniversary, has produced some of the most influential animated series of the past three decades, and seeing them find new life on Tubi represents a form of cultural preservation.

For fans who have watched beloved series vanish from their watchlists, this announcement provides hope that even in an era of content consolidation and platform exclusivity, classic animation can find sustainable homes where it can be discovered and appreciated by new audiences.

The timing is particularly significant as streaming services increasingly focus on original content rather than maintaining extensive back catalogs. Tubi’s commitment to animation history stands in contrast to this trend, positioning the platform as a curator of classic content in an industry often obsessed with the new and exclusive.

As March 1 approaches, animation enthusiasts can look forward to binge-watching their favorites or discovering hidden gems they missed during their original runs. In an industry where beloved shows can vanish overnight, Tubi’s announcement represents a rare moment of good news for fans of classic animation.
