Boomerang's New Deal With Warner Bros


I  never make special posts about news but I think this deserves it. Time Warner has just signed a new, multi-series deal with Warner Bros that will provide the channel with many new original shows that will start debuting this fall on international Boomerang channels. First to come are Bunnicula, Be Cool Scooby Doo! and Wabbit. The deal will also extend Boomerang’s access to the classic animation portfolio from the Hanna-Barbera, MGM and Warner Bros. Animation collection, a total of 3,500 titles. This is of course Turner's well known library that Boomerang has been using all these years but is sadly using less and less lately. Hopefully this deal will help the channel really become what the rebrand promised - a mix of modern originals and old classics, a place for both kids and grown ups.

  1. "extend Boomerang's access to the classic animation portfolio from Hanna-Barbera, MGM and Warner" - Could you be a little more specific?

    In what way has Boomerang lost access over the years to that portfolio. As I recall, a couple of years back they were still airing Tex Avery cartoons.-Georgi

    1. I'm not really sure but it seems like, even though Turner owned HB/MGM/pre 48 WB cartoons, it still had to pay something to Time Warner for using it. Not sure, this is just my guess....

  2. Thank you...now, kindly explain your explanation, if you will. What do you mean by pre-48 WB cartoons. Has Boomerang ever aired Warner Bros./Looney Tunes cartoons made after 1948?-Georgi

    1. And why the hell should we care? The classic Tom and Jerry is now the best thing on Boom CEE, if only they could bring back more classic shorts. Has anyone noticed that all the T&J classic shorts they play on Boomerang CEE have dialogue? Not kidding, every single one of them.
      Plus that Tom & Jerry Tales should leave the schedule already, it's one of the worst T&J shows created ever.

    2. I don't understand why don't they play the episodes without dialogue since these don't have to be translated and it would make sense for them to use them.

    3. I also wonder why. CN RSEE also only played the shorts without dialogue, according to what I saw on the schedules posted on @CartoonNetworkRulzz's fansite for Cartoon Network RSEE. Both situations are nonsensical, I tell you.

  7. According to my information that Russia and the CIS countries will become poor countries without these cartoons Studio "Hanna-Barbera" on TV channel "Boomerang"!

  8. Anonymous, yes, now that you mentioned it, every single one of the episodes have at least one line of dialogue! and you are right about T&J Tales. It's pretty bad.-Georgi

  9. I like Tom and Jerry, Tom and Jerry Tales and The Tom and Jerry Show. Tom and Jerry Tales is not bad to me.

  12. Boomerang Central & Eastern Europe doesn't air every Tom & Jerry short that has at least one line of dialogue. For example: Dog Trouble.

    1. Аnd like when did they air "Dog Trouble" because i haven't seen him or even spotting him on the schedule of one site where they show the episodes they air
      Plus even that episode has a dialogue made by Mammy Two Shoes.

  13. Central and Eastern European version of the channel "Boomerang" doesn't broadcast the old cartoons Studio "Hanna-Barbera" for Russia and CIS countries - hatred for the TV company "Russia Turner Broadcasting System"!
