10.May Movie Month
A combination of all the cartoon movies in one month in May? 2004 had a lot to offer back then, from Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes to Pokemon and stand-alone heartwarming family classics. Whatever the day the month the blossoms come into harvest, there was always something for everyone...even G.I. Joe.
9.Cartoon Theatre's Movie Marathon
Where would you find the original American Tail, Land Before Time and Balto films in one place? During this movie marathon of course! Appearances from Scooby Doo, Daffy Duck and The Flintstones brightened up the lineup, but viewers were treated to heartfelt, beautifully animated stories from Universal Pictures that had them reaching out for hankies. You won't be recovering from sadness by the time Balto finishes...
8.Day Of Firsts
Nobody knows about Cartoon Network's Fridays, with its live action hosts and puppets, especially Mr Baby and Baby, who hosted this tripe, which featured the very first episodes of Cartoon Network's shows. Now imagine - you're looking through the family photo album and you see Cartoon Network characters doing important milestones as babies. Heartwarming.
7.Hall Of Game Movie Week
Before the ultimate crossover event, which saw LeBron James team up with the Looney Tunes and various other cartoon characters, plus characters from Warner Bros productions, Hall Of Game Awards aired on Cartoon Network in America when I was 11 years old and attending the worst school in Collingwood. It featured two Looney Tunes movies - Space Jam and Back In Action, plus an appearance from Batman & Robin and two movies based on Speed Racer and The Mummy. Who cares if Cartoon Network aired live action shows? There's room for everyone!
6.Movie Marathon
Cartoon Network hosted two movie marathons in 1999 and 2002 - the 1999 one included Charlotte's Web, Race For Your Life Charlie Brown and Scooby Doo On Zombie Island. Charlotte's Web is a little sad, but what tugs at your heartstrings more was the fact that on the first movie marathon day of 2002, Cartoon Network aired three Land Before Time movies in one day - The Secret Of Saurus Rock, The Stone Of Cold Fire and The Big Freeze. If I were watching The Stone Of Cold Fire right now, I'd love the Good Inside song, which featured Cera with a halo, or thingamajig, over her head. Little angel!
5.Pikachusident's Day
One President's Day, Cartoon Network aired Pokemon all day - and yes, this was the Pokemon that aired on CBBC. CBBC has now become a Cartoon Network ripoff! Its endless iPlayer ads are annoying and will soon become advertised during shows! Ban CBBC and we will all live in peace and harmony once again!
4.The Funny Haha Good Times Weekend Marathon
This was from before Teen Titans Go ruled the network - with all those shows, it was hard to pick which one was your favourite, especially Clifford in MAD. But one thing I detest that made this The Unfunny Boohoo Bad Times Weekend was Johnny Test, or as I call him, one of Caillou's many disguises to avoid getting punished by his parents. Just like Caillou, Johnny screams and cries so that his sisters, dog and parents give him anything he wants. This is NOT what Cartoon Network should be airing, not at all!
3.The Fridays Family Christmas Extravaganza
Christmas specials can be as cosy and as cuddly as someone sitting in front of the fire telling stories in Jackanory, but for this Fridays special, two crazy hosts sat with kids and puppets introducing shows such as Scooby Doo and the Powerpuff Girls and putting gunge and jokes in this cosy, crazy Christmas.
2.The Scooby Movies Marathon
Since Scooby became president of Cartoon Network back in 2000, there had been many things dedicated to him in his honor, as if he were king of the dog shelter. The first three films are from Hannah Barbera Superstars 10, especially Ghoul School, which is an instant reminder of Scream Street. The final two are from when the gang got back together, and they're Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost. What a nostalgic way to remember the president king high priest majesty of Cartoon Network who has a gluttonous appetite.
1.A Wandering Beginning
Sorry, but I just had to put this on my list. It's one of those stories I can't help wanting to add this as number 1 in my list. Now, I was thinking of Cartoon Network's Night Of The Vampire Zombies, and a Watership Down scenario featuring Optimus Prime, Furaha and Orko, so I thought this up for the sake of those who saw Cartoon Network in late 2002. After fleeing Cybertron due to the cruel tyranny of Megatron, Furaha, Orko and Optimus Prime end up on a beautiful, natural paradisaical version of Earth without any people and just animals, called Beginning. From there, they begin to explore their surroundings and try to connect with the nature of this planet. In case you had to know, Optimus Prime narrates this story for the sake of him being the lead character.
