Cartoon Network Just Saved Their History

The Cartoon Network Studios building was shut down as Cartoon Network employees moved in with the people at Warner Bros. Animation. However, there's a new project that preserves one of the key aspects of this Cartoon Network Studios building - the iconic graffiti stairwell that legendary creators were a part of.

I want to make a Clarification here WBD has nothing to do with CN building situation. This was a decision made by the previous management of WB back when they were known as “WarnerMedia” and the person who made this decision is named Jason Kilar. And the new building did took 3 years to construct Plus, Brian A. Miller said on twitter that they were paying rent for the Burbank building for 20 years which is probably one of the reasons why they want to move.

It's weird to thing that one of my favorite Cartoon studios got almost brutally killed and now is just a small studio

[@moist_onions]

The greedy corporate powers will kill off anything that doesn’t play their game of eat or be eaten

[@Silverstar_]

​@@moist_onionsActually, it has nothing to do with that. WB broke ground on the new building back when the company was known as Warner media, in 2020 to be exact. Also WB was just renting the old studio whereas the new one they own outright.

Preservation projects like THIS should happen more often. I hope the devs keep reaching out to CN employees to expand the footnotes. Also, they should create a virtual extension to the stairwell so that NEW CN artists can add on to it.

There's definitely not going to be a Paramount/ WBD merger; WBD walked away from the table months ago. However Paramount's possible new owners, Skyedance Media, are open to merging Paramount Plus with another streaming service, possibly either Peacock or Max.

I was sad I’d never see that doodle again but I was able to find it on the website and take screenshots! I think it was on the third floor, on the outer wall of the stairwell, and it depicts a girl with pikachu ears and glasses saying “Help” while they’re holding onto the bottom end of the railing that’s connected to the wall.
