Is Cartoon Network truly going out of business? Together with some of its most well-known shows that brightened our childhoods, here is the reality about it.

From the most recognizable Cartoon Network classics to The Powerpuff Girls

The internet, especially those born in the 1990s, almost had a mini-heart attack on July 10 due to the dominance of X trends. The hashtag #RIPCartoonNetwork was widely popular. At first glance, it seemed as though the cable network, which produced some of the most enduring and iconic children's programming in its prime, was actually shutting down. It turned out to be a false alarm that was intentionally set off as the day went on. You might wonder why somebody would want to play with other people's childhood memories in this way. The goal of the entire campaign, if you can call it that, was to raise awareness of the urgent problems facing the animation business. The Animation Workers Ignited comment that "Cartoon Network is effectively dead" was what initially started the hashtag. With the precipitous drop the cable channel has faced recently due to canceled projects, outsourced employment, and mass layoffs, the mood this act is trying to capture is not new.
