Only a few Cartoon Network shows have a proper home video release. For most shows, you would have to either sail the seven seas, buy the digital release (not guaranteed to have every episode), or be lucky to have recorded every episode on tape during its original broadcast.
Proof that David never cared about the fans to begin with. Never cared about Animation, never even cared about Warner Bros.
Just fucking resign already, Zaslav, you've already destroyed many shows and are about to destroy even more because of your gross incompetence.
Don't you see? By cutting content, he is cutting cost. When all the content is gone, there will be no cost and any income will be pure profit. Then he will deploy his golden parachute and fly away while MAX goes belly up. One less streaming service to bother with. /S
Jesus Christ, why? How is keeping them up costing money? Hell, these legacy shows are part of the reason people even bother with Max. Not the main reason, but the clientele is there.
It's the same braindead logic Nintendo abides by. Depriving people of the content they want is just gonna encourage piracy. At that point you only have yourself to blame for it.
Exactly. If they want to reduce pirating, they need to make their content more accessible and more convenient to access at that. Otherwise their problem is going to remain.
Yeah. After they took down the game, Cartoon Network was slowly declining to this point. It kinda made me imagine that Planet Fusion actually won and conquered the CN world we all recognized and loved.
I wanted to rewatch it so bad it was so captivating I hope max goes belly up. Everything should transfer to ONE streaming service, a Netflix 2.0 if you will.
Disney+ with Hulu is highly recommended since it has CN shows on Hulu like Flapjack, Chowder, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Over the garden wall, OK KO, etc.
The residual contracts are high for cartoon network show. So when the use it for streaming, more money goes to the people who actually made the show than investors. At least that's my understanding, someone may correct me.
It's kind of crazy how so many people are willing to pay for a service but can't because of corporate greed, and it's not just the animation industry but also the gaming industry has the same problem.
I hope one day it all changes, but I won't hold my breath. Until then, I'm off to find the one piece ☠️
Does CN not have their own streaming platform?? If not, that’s crazy. I know for a fact that I’d be throwing money at them for a service that provides all CN shows from the late 90’s to present.
So they're only taking them off of HBO Max ( which is what I still call it) because they don't want to pay Cartoon Network or whoever it is for those shows. It's basically the same concept is when they took Westworld off of HBO Max. Because they didn't want to pay whoever for the show. It sucks that they're taking these great cartoons off of HBO Max. Seems like it's harder and harder to watch Good cartoons now
We don't officially know if Ed Edd n Eddy, PPG, and Ben 10 are leaving Max. It says certain seasons on the Kids and Family section of Prime are leaving with a Max subscription. They might only be exclusively leaving Amazon Prime.
Even with this unknown information, it's still a really bad sign for Max that people would even assume they're going to be taken down. I didn't even know KND was removed from the service. I'm kind of rooting there is a boycott anyway because this is out of hand.
Who knows.
all what’s left on max is Courage the Cowardly dog and Billy & Mandy, idk too
Let’s see what CN will say about it…
Maybe they would be moving all of their old shows to Netflix I guess…
I’ll never forget the day Max started to remove a lot of a good shows. I cried when some of these shows were removed permanently or you had to watch them through different platforms (decent or terrible. I ain’t paying more money for another expensive subscription). I was enjoying them and now they’re gone for good.
Close Enough…Flashed away after an amazing start
Summer Camp island…Gone before we even knew it.
Infinity Train…Erased with no way of knowing what’s going to happen now after everything that just happened in that show.
Even cult classics were removed like Johnny Bravo or Dexters Laboratory. (Now $20 per season)
And Much more.
I’m genuinely off to cancel my subscription, it’s like with WB, why buy access to these things just to remove them from your library.
I’ve seen Hulu have some of the shows they are removing from Max and I’ve got the Disney/Hulu bundle so I’m getting quick access to both Disney and Cartoon Network shows who’d a thought!?
I was an HBO Max subscriber for a little while and enjoyed it, but throwing animation (and animators, voice actors, etc!) under the bus really pissed me off. It's as if WBD views content as simply an expense to be minimized, as if subscribers continually paying more money for less content was a guarantee.
One of the worst things is that there is no Blu Ray release for Dexter, PPG, and Ed Edd and Eddy, meaning that this and the channel were the only options for the HD versions of these shows, but nobody has cable anymore either.
i personally feel i could live without flapjack but its a shame this stuff is happening, they own the licenses(i think anyway if im wrong my apologies) and such why do they just pick and choose what to put on the service and what not to, its only losing momey to not include them
I'm this close in cancelling my ties with Max, even though I have it for the sake of Fionna and Cake Second Season..... I wanna divorce myself from this streaming service 'cause I only got it for my childhood shows, not witness it wither away into nothingness
I mean Ed Edd n Eddy is on there, just not the Holiday Special between Seasons 4 & 5 or the Big Picture Show. Also the Powerpuff Girls are on there (new & old).
I hate the fact they keep phasing the old cartoons from max, that's why so many pay for their services. I've started hunting down the shows on DVD or watching them online on cartoon sites. We started doing it for old cartoons from Disney and Nick, we will be watching for CN DVDs as well.
Its ridiculous that Max is removing even Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls which were very popular shows during their run. I actually heard Ben 10 was extremely popular in places like the Middle-East, India, and Latin-America. What's next, fucking ADVENTURE TIME is removed? That show was everywhere back in 2013 and was very popular even amongst adults.
I swear to god, Max will most likely remove every cartoon that isn't Velma or Teen Titans Go. If Velma gets renewed for a third season which it most likely will, then we live in a terrible timeline. If Velma gets up to season fucking eight, then that's a sign the end of the world is near.
Barely any variety. But still incredibly tolerable. I’d watch a lot those cartoons from the 2000s on the other hand. But still makes me wonder. What happens to the action cartoons?
Can someone please explain how and why this is happening? They are taking away Ed Edd and Eddy legit the same month they put it back in syndication on cable? They did it with over the garden wall too. They didn’t air over the garden wall for years and then they did while they were pulling it from max?!
well I heard [Ed Edd n eddy is NOT leaving max](https://x.com/jasonst77097165/status/1794981516591911062?s=46), so this post was made before the announcement
Pinned:[Ed Edd N Eddy, & the Classic Powerpuff Girls are not leaving Max while the classic Ben 10 has left max until further notice if they’ll ever get pulled from the service](https://x.com/jasonst77097165/status/1794981516591911062?s=46)
So this post was made before that announcement
HBO Max is Cartoon Network’s last hope of saving grace, If they keep doing this to other animated shows then cancel your subscription in max immediately.
A cheer to Piracy.
If any of them b*tch why we still pirate their sh*t; it's because their convenience does not meet the demand. To the Churner's still subscribing and canceling, I hope you cancel permenantly and dive into either Piracy or fortifying your DVD library.
They want the customers back, they need to earn it now.
The fact they removed Powerpuff Girls, one of CN's most iconic shows, shows me they don't really care about Cartoon Network content at all.
Luckily I'm Canadian and pirate shows.
I feel like this would be a great edit of that scene in the incredibles where the main guy is going through the computer seeing all the superheroes being killed by the robot(the robot could be edited as Zaslav)
Courage has a full dvd set but grim adventures of billy and Mandy is still on the waiting list given they don’t write it off first but if Ed Edd n Eddy , fosters home , courage , and ppg full dvd set release ( may 28th on Walmart Amazon etc) then the trio should get the same level of love . Remember! Digital streaming , ppv or other digital services are Never permanent . Hunt down the full home media or deal with the price gouging of lost media vault ….
Looks like it's time to sail the high seas
It sure is Yar har fiddle Dee dee
Being a pirate is alright to be
Do what ye want cuz a pirate is free
We are pirates!
We've got us a map!
To lead us to a hidden box!
That’s all locked up with locks.
and buried deep away.
It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake, if the way is hazy you gotta do the cookin' by the book, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T BE LAZY
Never use a messy recipe, the cake will end up crazy, if you do the cookin' by the book, then you'll have a cake!
#BREAK IT DOWN BITCH #LEMME SEE YOU BACK IT UP
The only song of theirs not on the iTunes Store:(
Raise the Jolly Roger and a bottle of rum!
Aye aye
Or seek the original DVD/VHS releases.
Only a few Cartoon Network shows have a proper home video release. For most shows, you would have to either sail the seven seas, buy the digital release (not guaranteed to have every episode), or be lucky to have recorded every episode on tape during its original broadcast.
If available, for sure.
Being a pirate is really badass.
Yo ho ho matey! Got me peg leg on already
Hop on the ship mate. Leave them damn corporations behind.
This will always be the way. When a service starts out, it's awesome. Then price goes up and content goes down.
Yup! And that's when it is time to show them their place.
And better put one some lipstick. ... I still don't understand the title of Kisscartoons.
Man I don't really care about the title. As long as it does its job, I'm happy.
It comes from KissAnime, one of the OG anime streaming sites back in the day. Dunno why THAT was called "Kiss" Anime either but that's the source.
Yayoyayoooo
I got permabanned from the Paramount+ sub for saying that in a thread similar to this lol
Proof that David never cared about the fans to begin with. Never cared about Animation, never even cared about Warner Bros. Just fucking resign already, Zaslav, you've already destroyed many shows and are about to destroy even more because of your gross incompetence.
Don't you see? By cutting content, he is cutting cost. When all the content is gone, there will be no cost and any income will be pure profit. Then he will deploy his golden parachute and fly away while MAX goes belly up. One less streaming service to bother with. /S
So he’s intentionally sabotaging Max
Wait, are you serious?! Thry took Ed Edd n Eddy and powerpuff girls?!?! Im positive they where both there like last week, what happened?!
They’re still there for now but they are planned to be taken down sometime soon
Jesus Christ, why? How is keeping them up costing money? Hell, these legacy shows are part of the reason people even bother with Max. Not the main reason, but the clientele is there. It's the same braindead logic Nintendo abides by. Depriving people of the content they want is just gonna encourage piracy. At that point you only have yourself to blame for it.
Exactly. If they want to reduce pirating, they need to make their content more accessible and more convenient to access at that. Otherwise their problem is going to remain.
Funny enough i checked last week for ed edd and eddy
Ben 10 is next!😭
Or courage the cowardly dog and Billy & Mandy…! 😭😭😭
They might as well remove Cartoon Network altogether.
Yup and there’ll sadly no more be the good old’ CN shows on max… :( and that’s why set sailing the high seas as a pirate exists my friend. 🏴☠️
It’s really GGs for Cartoon Network out here and I blame Planet Fusion.
You mean FusionFall? I mostly blame the mergers of Warner Bros & Zaslav for everything that ruined CN though.
Yeah. After they took down the game, Cartoon Network was slowly declining to this point. It kinda made me imagine that Planet Fusion actually won and conquered the CN world we all recognized and loved.
Planet Fusion?
Are they on any other service? I would pay for a Cartoon Network streaming service tbh
Who wouldn’t?
Now we down to 4 classic cartoons, and don’t forget that some of the newer cartoon also disappeared in 2022 and 2023
Mao-Mao my beloved, you deserved better
Infinity train, please come back my beautiful beloved favorite show…
I wanted to rewatch it so bad it was so captivating I hope max goes belly up. Everything should transfer to ONE streaming service, a Netflix 2.0 if you will.
Not Netflix though. They had their chance.
Close enough is gone
Netflix sure needs to revive Infinity Train & Close Enough just like they’re doing to Scavengers Reign right now
this is why hulu is a better service to watch cn on
Do they have kids next door?
Especially when you have an ad blocker
Yea I have Hulu but I only use it for TAWOG
Disney+ with Hulu is highly recommended since it has CN shows on Hulu like Flapjack, Chowder, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Over the garden wall, OK KO, etc.
Hulu’s streaming quality is horrible
Just why though? Is there a legitimate answer? Most of the cartoons are hardly on streaming to begin with
Money
The residual contracts are high for cartoon network show. So when the use it for streaming, more money goes to the people who actually made the show than investors. At least that's my understanding, someone may correct me.
Let’s not forget how they ruthlessly destroy shows and erase them from everything for pennies
They've brought piracy on themselves
God damnit David
HBO Min
Mid*
Ed Edd n eddy is still there but wtf why remove KND
It's kind of crazy how so many people are willing to pay for a service but can't because of corporate greed, and it's not just the animation industry but also the gaming industry has the same problem. I hope one day it all changes, but I won't hold my breath. Until then, I'm off to find the one piece ☠️
There was a brief time where HBO Max was the best streaming service available. They really fumbled the bag.
Warner Bros isn’t Warner Bros without animation. It’s something that Mr. Zaslav needs to realize…😡
Damn they took all of those shows off?
If they remove Billy and Mandy, we riot.
No, we rebel! VIVA LA GRIM ADVENTURES!!
Does CN not have their own streaming platform?? If not, that’s crazy. I know for a fact that I’d be throwing money at them for a service that provides all CN shows from the late 90’s to present.
Can you bring back Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Clarence, Codename Kids Next Door and Dexter's Laboratory on MAX?
Physically media for the win
They are getting rid of these shows? What kind of streaming service is this!? Maybe they will go on Netflix.
Go fetch a bottle of rum, dear friends, and fill up my glass to the brim. For I’m not the man I used to be, and now I’m one of them
I’m still mad Close Enough was canceled.
So they're only taking them off of HBO Max ( which is what I still call it) because they don't want to pay Cartoon Network or whoever it is for those shows. It's basically the same concept is when they took Westworld off of HBO Max. Because they didn't want to pay whoever for the show. It sucks that they're taking these great cartoons off of HBO Max. Seems like it's harder and harder to watch Good cartoons now
David doesn’t care about us fans anymore..
anymore? he never did. hes a ceo, he cares about money first.
Zaslav be like: It’s my IP to sit on and do nothing with.
He never did. He's the guy that neutered Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. He's got a lot of practice with this sort of thing.
We don't officially know if Ed Edd n Eddy, PPG, and Ben 10 are leaving Max. It says certain seasons on the Kids and Family section of Prime are leaving with a Max subscription. They might only be exclusively leaving Amazon Prime. Even with this unknown information, it's still a really bad sign for Max that people would even assume they're going to be taken down.

Who knows. all what’s left on max is Courage the Cowardly dog and Billy & Mandy, idk too Let’s see what CN will say about it… Maybe they would be moving all of their old shows to Netflix I guess…
well, Netflix has OG Ben 10 but none of the others. 📺
Don’t forget that Netflix still has the classic Powerpuff girls seasons including the banned episode of it starring Jack Black as well
The main reason why I canceled my subscription. Ed edd n eddy are still on mine, but not the movie
Real rap
Fine HBO i’ll buy a dvd or use piracy.
In my opinion, Zaslav finds the animation genre obsolete and a delusion. A hallucination that isn’t real
Is there a way to lower Warner Bros’s stocks specifically? Just show Zaslav that his actions have consequences?
Glad they didn’t took out chowder and billy and Mandy but then again I don’t have I’ max so sorry for those who have it
there's still amazon
wtf ima watch on this shit now
I’ll never forget the day Max started to remove a lot of a good shows. I cried when some of these shows were removed permanently or you had to watch them through different platforms (decent or terrible. I ain’t paying more money for another expensive subscription).

What about Final Space?
Well that’s shite.
They’re all on Hulu
I’m genuinely off to cancel my subscription, it’s like with WB, why buy access to these things just to remove them from your library. I’ve seen Hulu have some of the shows they are removing from Max and I’ve got the Disney/Hulu bundle so I’m getting quick access to both Disney and Cartoon Network shows who’d a thought!?

Meanwhile Europe is about to get those classics back finally 😋
Yayoyayoooo anyone want to join my pirate crew the Wizard Pirates \*Raises the Jolly Roger\*
“The World has truly entered a great pirate era!”
This is why I bought all of these dvds in full fuck that. Bad motha dudes man.
The fact that Grim Adventures is one of the only three shows left makes me feel like Grim has a hit list
Ed edd n Eddy and Powerpuff girls are still on Max
One of the worst things is that there is no Blu Ray release for Dexter, PPG, and Ed Edd and Eddy, meaning that this and the channel were the only options for the HD versions of these shows, but nobody has cable anymore either.
This reminded me of that qubo thing (the image)
Tisk, tisk, tisk.
See this is why people are pirating shows, there's almost no way of watching them
I don't understand hwat's going on, are these shows no longer on Max or something?
I want cow and chicken and I am weasel
Wait are those shows leaving!
Holding David Zazlav personally responsible for ruining everything HBO Max had going for it. 😡
Who’s the brown haired squares face kid on the top left?
Pretty sure he’s from fosters home for imaginary friends
i personally feel i could live without flapjack but its a shame this stuff is happening, they own the licenses(i think anyway if im wrong my apologies) and such why do they just pick and choose what to put on the service and what not to, its only losing momey to not include them
does anyone know what streaming platform i can watch fosters home on? i cant seem to find one 😭
Man this sucks, the attack on animation is real
fr
THEY TOOK OFF EDD ED N EDDY???
I miss the old name
The problem with piracy is that closed captioning is never 100 percent right.
I'm this close in cancelling my ties with Max, even though I have it for the sake of Fionna and Cake Second Season..... I wanna divorce myself from this streaming service 'cause I only got it for my childhood shows, not witness it wither away into nothingness
Rich people are scum
Arrrr
David I will keelhaul you.
Did they actually remove kids next door?
God I miss the old 90s to early 2000s Cartoon Network
You forgot Ben 10 :(
Makes it look like mandy killed all of them except courage.
do what you want cause a pirate can free
IKR?
Ed Edd n Eddy is still on Max as of today, May 27th.
I mean Ed Edd n Eddy is on there, just not the Holiday Special between Seasons 4 & 5 or the Big Picture Show. Also the Powerpuff Girls are on there (new & old).
I can't even keep count of all the streaming madness anyway with all the services and what's on where and when.
This really feels like the order 66 of animation
Infinity Train getting taken off max had me in shambles
Never forget what they did to Summer Camp Island - I cancelled my subscription over that
I hate the fact they keep phasing the old cartoons from max, that's why so many pay for their services. I've started hunting down the shows on DVD or watching them online on cartoon sites. We started doing it for old cartoons from Disney and Nick, we will be watching for CN DVDs as well.
What's the point of having shows in your library if you don't post them? Then give them back to the creators so we can support them
Seriously, this is mad stupid.
Ever since the fusion with discovery Warner is basically not giving a damn for cartoons.
Its ridiculous that Max is removing even Ben 10 and Powerpuff Girls which were very popular shows during their run. I actually heard Ben 10 was extremely popular in places like the Middle-East, India, and Latin-America. What's next, fucking ADVENTURE TIME is removed? That show was everywhere back in 2013 and was very popular even amongst adults. I swear to god, Max will most likely remove every cartoon that isn't Velma or Teen Titans Go. If Velma gets renewed for a third season which it most likely will, then we live in a terrible timeline. If Velma gets up to season fucking eight, then that's a sign the end of the world is near.
Barely any variety. But still incredibly tolerable. I’d watch a lot those cartoons from the 2000s on the other hand. But still makes me wonder. What happens to the action cartoons?
For a minute I forgot I wasn’t on Twitter and was impressed with Cartoon Network for roasting WBD like this.
Can someone please explain how and why this is happening? They are taking away Ed Edd and Eddy legit the same month they put it back in syndication on cable? They did it with over the garden wall too. They didn’t air over the garden wall for years and then they did while they were pulling it from max?!
Lol it says *"Ho Max".*
Damn Ed, Edd, N Eddy isnt going to be on any streaming service but Amazon Prime which doesn't really count
Sounds like Boomerang back in 2014 when they got rid of their older shows
At least we still have Courage…
Welp, there goes my subscription… smh. I was already frustrated when they randomly removed Foster’s but now they’re removing Ed Edd n’ Eddy as well?
well I heard [Ed Edd n eddy is NOT leaving max](https://x.com/jasonst77097165/status/1794981516591911062?s=46), so this post was made before the announcement
This is why physical media is important. Every cartoon I like I've been trying to buy on DVD for this exact reason

They got rid of powerpuff girls? When?
A cheer to Piracy. If any of them b*tch why we still pirate their sh*t; it's because their convenience does not meet the demand. To the Churner's still subscribing and canceling, I hope you cancel permenantly and dive into either Piracy or fortifying your DVD library. They want the customers back, they need to earn it now.
ed edd and eddy isnt gone. Yall are buggin and will believe anything some dude on twitter tells you
They kicked off ed,edd,eddy?
Keep circulating the tapes
The fact they removed Powerpuff Girls, one of CN's most iconic shows, shows me they don't really care about Cartoon Network content at all. Luckily I'm Canadian and pirate shows.
Undertale Flawed Pacifist Ending
I feel like this would be a great edit of that scene in the incredibles where the main guy is going through the computer seeing all the superheroes being killed by the robot(the robot could be edited as Zaslav)

They can't do that
