Cartoon Network Studios is Shutting Down (Kinda)

Whispers in the animation landscape are strongly alluding to the current building for Cartoon Network Studios shutting down after nearly 30 years. However, Cartoon Network Studios itself is sticking around, just moving to a different building. Still, this building is a piece of animation history that should be preserved, but is there any hope?

I had an idea that someone should totally turn the building into like an animation museum!

These couple years have really been crazy for animated series and their companies

We should take as many photos of the building as possible to preserve its memory, if this is true.

They should make this building a museum.

"Not animated, that's usually done overseas" yup, and thanks to the language barrier, there's been some hilarious mistakes that happened that the creators decided to keep in the episodes! My favorite is in the Chubby Cheese episode of Dexter's Laboratory where after the end of Chubby's song, the audience flies away for no reason. The story behind it is the animators were told that the audience would take off, as in get up and leave. But the animators interpreted that as literal. Because of how funny it was, they kept it in and added sound effects. Which for this episode, is even better as Dexter is watching the show without his glasses, so you can judge what happened as what Dexter thinks he's seeing.

I hope animators in the animation industry would operate as an independent workers co-op and take over the building

I think if they made it a Cartoon Network Museum that would be neat.

I hope they just get moved to a new building instead of being absorbed into Warner Bros like that. I still want to work and make shows under the big CN when I'm older.

I aspire to make my own animated shows one day…what a shame that now I will never get to walk through the doors of this famous studio!

As an animation major in college this is deeply infuriating and heartbreaking.
I swear to god if the CN building is left to become like a plain old office building or more outrageously overpriced housing I’m going to riot.
There’s so much history in that building and I would love to visit it one day even if it’s not being used for animation. It could be turned into an exhibit or something that allows it to be preserved as it is now. My childhood, the childhoods of multiple generations, were made in that building, and if it gets thrown away or discarded like some random insignificant building, it’s going to be like a big old kick in the nuts to anyone who even mildly appreciates animation

I hope everything goes well for everyone who works on Cartoon Network.

Wow. Warner Bros Discovery is becoming like Disney, due to having dreadful business practices, and selling off their beloved stuff, this being super greedy!

[flowerbit]

I used to pass this building when taking the train to school every day 🥲 and literally it was my favorite thing I’d pass by. I’d be like “ooh we’re in Burbank now, look for the Cartoon Network building!!” I’d even send pictures of it to my other animation loving friends lol. I hope it ends up in good hands (but with the way that real estate is in LA these days I’m not confident)

[Shingapow]

this really does hit hard for me. I always dreamed on joining Cartoon Network and walking into the building ever since I was a kid.

[jokesandpunsandskitsohmy]

The depression I just got realizing I'll never get to step foot in that building

[ZeepAtomic]

Man, how much I wish Grim was real so he could pay SOMEONE a friendly little visit.

*Watch how they replace the* *building with like a random* *Walgreens or some crap* 💀

[ocass]

gonna revisit this video in 5 years to see if they actually do sell it, id be willing to bet good money they won't

[dahfars]

I’ve always wanted to work at Cartoon Network since high school, but now with CN Animation and WB Animation merging, I honestly feel a bit scared. I heard the channel will still continue to produce great content, but I don’t think it’s going to be the same without the building that has been around since I can remember. I hope David Zaslav doesn’t make Cartoon Network a huger mess the same way Elon Musk did to Twitter.
