Every Cartoon ERASED From Streaming

TOONDRIP: www.toondrip.c...
As we enter the end of the streaming wars we're seeing more cartoons get deleted from various platforms, even those created as original programming for these services! Close Enough, Infinity Train, Steven Universe: the Movie, Pantheon, Little Demon, Rugrats 2021, Big Nate and so much more have been removed from Max, Hulu, Paramount Plus, etc. and not all of these shows have new homes to go to! With the state of the industry, it feels appropriate to shed some light and run down every cartoon deleted from streaming!

Something worth also mentioning is all the Dreamworks Animated shows that were removed from Netflix that were made as a deal to be “Netflix Originals”. Some, like the Puss in Boots show, found their way to Peacock, where hopefully they’ll stay for a while, but others, like the banger Mr. Peabody and Sherman show and the underrated All Hail King Julien show are still stuck in an “only available on digital marketplaces” limbo. Hate to see it 😭

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

If anyone remembers Glitch Techs, aka a show that was SUPPOSED to be on Nickelodeon but was moved to Netflix due to budget expenses and layoffs, I wouldn’t be surprise if that gets cancelled cause it’s still on a cliffhanger😤.

[@jacobyoung1933]

And give those purged CN shows credit, they were able to stay available on digital stores for a good while after they got wiped off of HBO Max. Sadly, most of them have been delisted from there back in October, but hey, that was still like over a good year in between. That makes me wonder what the difference was between those and when it happened to Final Space, which I swear was purged and delisted from all the stores in that same week or two!

All the cartoons being removed from streaming will just encourage more piracy, and streaming services will only have themselves to blame.

[@EvanFar_]

The fact this shit happens feels like it's for no reason. From what I've seen they take away budget or attention from good/decent things they have to put it into more (bad) things because of well, money. (Edit: I could get into this a lot more, but my keyboard is like broken) (Edit #2: It doesn't apply to just "good" shows/movies/content)

I am disappointed they got rid of Season 2 of Penguins of Madagascar. It hurts my childhood.

[@TwinRiver100]

that's kind of weird that Infinity Train is labeled TV-MA i mean, yeah it does do dark stuff. But it's kids show level dark like on the level that you might see in a kids movie from the 1980s. It's not Game of Thrones Level or anything. I think they need to re-evaluate that rating and fix that on KZbin.

[@jonbrewer297]

To me, TV-MA is Game of Thrones or South Park. Infinity Train, first, is not even an amoral universe. You accumulate enough good karma (as indicated by your number going down), you can leave. You accumulate enough bad karma, a giant palmetto bug (Think cockroaches that can fly.) eats you.

[@SupHapCak]

People are too soft these days. Everything is either rainbows and unicorns or it’s only for adults. Kids can be exposed to dark or mature themes as long as there isn’t excessive gore, graphic sex, or a bunch of vulgarity.

That was a rating screw up. It's not really MA

The pessimist in me suspects it’s only a matter of time before a streaming service purges something so big that the whole world will uprise (like Steven Universe, SpongeBob, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, or The Owl House) and unfortunately I feel like the uprising of such a purge will be the only thing that gets the companies to realized they messed up big time.

[@CryptidCatArtz]

I swear to God if they mess with any of these shows the apocalypse will happen! XD

[@frozenolafnick5813]

THIS IS WHY INDIE ANIMATION IS THE BEST OPTION!!! Simply because they take a chance, and wait at least to get through a second season before even thinking about canceling it. And they don’t just cancel the show if it’s not as popular cause they know it has a decent enough audience for their brand to stay a float and they have some other shows that have hit it big to justify it staying. And even if it got canceled, they KEEP IT UP. If the takedowns keep happening with big companies, then eventually everyone will just move to indie animation and indie studios in general for TV and then the entertainment industry as a whole will have to rethink it’s approach. God I hate streaming sometimes.

[@andrewmulert]

That's why everyone SHOULD move to Indie Animation, but not necessarily WHY they will move. Starting Indie Animation takes a lot of work, time, and money, that's why we still have these huge corporations calling the shots no matter how many shows die in the crossfire

[@calvinboucher5741]

It’s honestly so wild how Final Space only ever gets a passing mention in these types of videos. It was one of the first big victims of the media purge and nobody seemed to give a shit outside of fans. Like you straight can’t legally buy or watch it anymore on anything regardless of country and most people didn’t give it a fair chance when it was actively airing new episodes.

The Very first show removed from Paramount+ was both versions of Danger Mouse but those weren't originals. Plus, The 80's Series is on Netflix and the 2016 Series is on some kids app (also Netflix but it's missing sesson 3 on there) Also, everytime Paramount purges a show, they play or make more ads that say Paramount is the home of Nickelodeon

Not a day goes by where I don't miss Mao Mao. It practically ended on a cliffhanger too. When it moved to Max, season 1 had already ended so it had nothing new and I had no reason to sign up for it. They couldnt even be bothered to test if a fresh season 2 would bring in views.
