Shame that I wasn't born prior to 2002... (4/12/2003, CBS "Late Night" talk show host, David Letterman would still be old that year...😂) nor that started watching CN prior to 2009... (Courage at 4 and Johnny Test at 5... those Pro-Spongebob Elementary School crew couldn't touch me! Cause I got a real cool character with the Canadian Johnny Test! Not some aquatic character that became stale as The Simpsons!) but, this was how you do a creative piece of television marketing. The more recent Paramount+ mountain series of ads are also just as good in "the perfect crossover" front of TV marketing. But, the CN City era had one great import that I loved (just a few years after OK KO! Ended... still hurts).... the European French epic: Code Lyoko...
Man… back when all our favorite CN characters used to live all together in a amazing crossover paradise 🥺 I loved seeing these bumpers because it was nice seeing all these characters have slice of life moments when they don’t go into shenanigans or adventures 😊
I miss this city era of cartoon network. They truly need to go back to this era. I'm looking at this and I'm like: some of these I haven't seen before. I miss this animation style.
As far as I can tell from the list on the lost media wiki a couple of these haven't been uploaded yet or were lost, but I'm not lost media expert I'm just an idiot who knows how to use an iso with vlc.
Man, this takes me back to when we had channels like Cartoon Network, Nick Toons, Nickelodeon, toon Disney/JetX, and Disney Channel, and all of them were at their peak. Each channel had a show you had to watch now their either gone or a shell of their former selves.
The amount of care and creativity that went into these bumpers just shows how much the people running the network cared about its shows and audience. You don't see this kind of passion in entertainment nowadays.
Our town of CN City map (according to the "Our Town" menu): 24:39 - Foster's Home (aka "Foster's House") 27:16 - Juniper Lee's house 28:49 - Camp Kidney (aka "Camp Lazlo") 30:22 - Sector V treehouse (aka "Kids Next Door treehouse") 32:06 - Ami and Yumi's tour bus (aka "Puffy AmiYumi concert") 33:38 - Billy's house (aka "Billy and Mandy's house") 36:25 - Charles Darwin Middle School (aka "My Gym Partner's a Monkey school") 38:00 - The Tennysons' campground (aka "Ben 10 campground") 39:34 - Crossover bumpers (aka "Cartoon Theatre")
Dreams of an endless summer. Biggest worries were pop quizzes, lousy group projects, and getting home before the latest cartoon came on. I hope one day we can see that city again...even if it gets attacked by giant monsters.
I just love how the characters interact with the background it was extremely made well also these were the times when kids were actually kids and not on tablets or anything
For those unaware, the chibi rockstar girls are from “Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi”, a cartoon series about a real Japanese band…which band? Why the girls sing the TeenTitans theme song!
Can you imagine what an AS City would've been like? I'd mainly imagine that'd it'd be the bad part of town. I can also picture these scenarios as bumpers: Brak playing hopscotch with Meatwad. Warden welcoming Rick into Superjail. Orel handing out religious flyers to bypassers, one of them being Nathan, who crumples up the flyer and tosses it. Early and Fitz drinking and trash-talking at a bar.
Thank you youtube algorythm for reminding me of my childhood; still the best experience I ever had as a kid. I remember staying up late to watch the powerpuff girls during a marathon and the CN City slowly changed the time of day, so I got to see the girls wake up, go to school, play, save the day, get together for a film and then get read for bed and then sleep. All in 1 day of watching. It felt more real than CNReel (which was the time I decided to stop getting digital tv since Cartoon Network was the ONLY reason I had it at that point.) so I have no idea why they went that route. But going back to CNCity, after that; I wanted to see what other shows did the same; I managed to get the same experience for dexters lab, ed edd n eddy and fosters. I was working on TeenTitans and Grim Adventures before they pulled the plug, still good times.
24:26 This is even funnier when you realize that Eustace knows what a Particle Accelerator does... Which as he says, it "Smashes Atoms". Fun fact, he is likely referencing a Real World event where a researcher survived sticking his head into a particle accelerator, without realizing it was active. Took a super-fast atom straight to the face.
Touches like this are what makes a good network GREAT. Obviously, having awesome shows is the main thing, but details like these are what makes networks stand out more and feel more homey. You don't get bumpers on Streaming.
I miss the days of making tough choices cause Cartoon Network had a new episode of Teen Titans but at the same time Nickelodeon also so had a new episode of Avatar the Last Airbender. but also JetX had Oban Star Racers coming on too. Ahh those were the days.
They lost it around the late 2010s. I was their target audience around 9-12 but I grew up watching 90s/early 2000s cartoons and games. I could tell the difference in quality and just stopped watching unless TAWOG was on.
@@Misty_kittyyy I remember when Cartoon Network was in their live action era with shows like dude what would happen and people hated it but I’d take that era over when they just started spamming Teen titans go.
@@kirbykirbykirby. I'm happy that this era turns 20... (rewatches the well done OK K.O.! Crossover Nexus special in memoriam of a once dominant period in American animation history.)
Not like anybody asked and not like I care if they did, but I grew up in an extremely abusive household and one of the ways my child brain coped with it was to create an entire interconnected cartoon world. Cartoon Network was my kingdom and my domain consisted of all of my favorite cartoons that I would dissociate to when things were bad. Whenever I was being abused I would imagine my favorite characters being there to comfort me or protect me mentally. I was the Queen of Cartoon Network and we had occasional alliances with other cartoons from other rival networks like Nickelodeon. In the midst of all of this, Cartoon Network launched CN City and I can’t tell you how absolutely mind-blowing it was for me as a kid. I believed with my whole being that I really was the Queen of CN and had made my inner world a reality. This era of CN will always have a place in my heart and there will always be a part of me that is the Queen of CN. Thank you to everyone that had a hand in creating the Golden Age of Cartoon Network. You did more than just entertain children across the globe, you helped so many of them in ways you’ll never know. On their behalf, thank you.
wow cartoon network city sure takes me back when i was 13 years old this was my teenhood right here to bad cartoon network isn't the same anymore wish I could go back to 2004
happy 32nd anniversary cartoonnetwork!!!(love the detail they put into the interactions & keeping the personality of the worlds/wish we saw modern series mixed in.:3)
Ah those were the days. I remember when I was either in my early elementary years or my kindergarten years? It was a looooong time ago. It's a cool concept though to see these Cartoon Network characters from different shows interact with one another. These bumpers are THE closest things you'll get to a Cartoon Network crossover
It wasn’t just that they had better cartoons back then. Cartoon Network used to have such a strong sense of identity. Even during other low periods, they always had stuff like this.
This helped me a lot, when i was a kid i was a scaredy lil shit and anytime my mind started to remember anything i was terrified of i was able to overwrite it with these comercials because the music was so engraved in my brain the images just came naturally with it
My childhood right here, wonder how Cartoon Network city would be today? Where would each of the shows in the coming generations fit? I can see Steven’s house being a popular hangout spot for beach parties, Dexter, Professor Utonium, Cyborg, Peridot and Princess Bubblegum attending a tech convention, Pearl and Jack sparring with each other every so often, Flapjack and Bubby helping make waves during beach days, Steven trying to get Tom and Jerry to stop fighting, Jake chasing Tom and Jerry, given that he is a dog, all four Ben’s, Generator Rex, Finn and the Justice League, sans Batman, participating in a competition for who’s the best hero, then a villain breaks loose and makes trouble and all of the hero characters rush in to stop the mayhem. With all the villains suddenly thinking, ‘crud really should’ve thought this through when we live in one big city filled with several hundred heroes!!!!
Man, I just now realized this was posted almost 2 months ago, having watched the video a couple of times. This was the best era of cartoon network and brings back lots of memories. I became reconnected with my younger self back in the summer of 2022, having logged off Facebook a month or so, after 10 years of not watching any cartoon because I felt silly about thrm because in 2011 my cousin who now looks and talks just like a gangster said cartoons are just for kids and something like mature people don't watch cartoons.
New CN CITY Adventure time Regular show Steven universe Ben 10 ( orginal) Ed edd n eddy Courage the cowardly dog Scooby doo mystery incorporated Amazing world of gumball We bare bears Fosters home for imaginary friends Ok k.o. let's be hero's KND
The true Golden Age of comedians said many actually good actors those years but then later on after 2012 and all this other stuff everything went to hell....
RW:Ahhh😌 these were the days when CN characters would interact with eachother when they are not in their own shows ,some of these moments are wholesome and I would never forget it also because the place was also called Cartoonetwork City
I never understood why Powerpuff girls made me feel so good about myself now that I look back a single father raising three girls by himself, maybe that's the reason because as of right now I am a single father with three adopted girls.
Remember this. I would always try to go to sleep at the early time and wake up at the earliest time as well. Cause I was when they play these little shorts. They don't make them like they used to anymore. So I wish they'd.
