[[TheWikiRule As usual,]] there's more in-depth information on [[http://cartoonnetwork.wikia.com/wiki/CN_City the Cartoon Network Wiki]]. Compare to ''VideoGame/FusionFall'', ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkSuperSecretCrisisWar'', and ''VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion'' for other Cartoon Network {{crossover}} works.

The ''[[https://cartoonnetwork.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cartoon_Cartoon_Top_5 Top 5]]'' block also lost its' Cartoon Cartoon branding (though it kept its' original theme), and was cancelled a day before the Noods became CN's look (though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNyyGUO-Ukg there was a bumper made for it]])

The "CN City" era of Creator/CartoonNetwork began in July of 2004 and lasted until June of 2007, though the era would continue abroad until 2010. The era is named after, and associated with, its animated bumpers made by Creator/AnimalLogic and regular CN contributor Creator/PrimalScreen. It succeeded the "Powerhouse" era and thus marked the closure of the Creator/CartoonCartoons branding.

The "CN City" era of Creator/CartoonNetwork began in July of 2004 and lasted until June of 2007, though the era would continue abroad until 2010. The era is named after, and associated with, its animated bumpers made by Creator/AnimalLogic and regular CN contributor Primal Screen.

About eleven years after the bumpers stopped airing, the city was featured as the setting of the ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' episode "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E18CrossoverNexus Crossover Nexus]]", in which K.O., [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Garnet]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 Ben]], and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo Raven]] join forces to save the city from a {{supervillain}} bent on eradicating heroes, with several other CN characters new and old (even a few from overseas productions) making cameos.

** ComicBook/{{Raven}} uses her telekinesis to build a house of cards and help reposition the sofa, and ComicBook/{{Starfire}} uses her flight to squeegee the windows.

* NoodleIncident: A few bumpers depict the charcters in certain compromising situations with no explanation, such as Edd tied up to a lampost and phoning for help, Billy and Mandy trapped in TV static, or Lazlo and Raj behind the wheel of the Camp Kidney bus.

%%* BrickBreak: Ray Ray nearly tries this on Plank, only for Johnny 2x4 to stop him in the nick of time with a DivingSave.

* CityOfEverywhere: CN City combines [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls Townsville]], [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Peach Creek]], [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Jump City]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee Orchid Bay]], [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Endsville]], and the unnamed towns where ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', and ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' take place, respectively, into one large megapolis. [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog The Bagge residence]] is located on the outskirts, and one bumper shows a highway leading to [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Metropolis and Gotham City]], suggesting they're driving distance away, as is [[WesternAnimation/CampLazlo Camp Kidney]]. "Crossover Nexus" also incorporates the Noods (the mascots of another CN era), [[WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}} Mung Daal's Catering Company]], [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Finn and Jake's tree fort]], [[WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes Gar's Bodega]] (though not the rest of Lakewood Plaza Turbo, strangely) and [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow The Park]] into the city, with what looks like [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast Ghost Planet]] floating above it.

* {{Crossover}}: All of Cartoon Network's 2000s-era shows (and a few beforehand) all live together in the same city; the characters interacting with each other is a focal point.

* EconomyCast: Because every city-goer was a named character from a CN show, a few had to pull double duty and take certain occupations; Ed works as a busboy, Him works at a barbershop, and [[WesternAnimation/TimeSquad Buck Tudrussel]] runs a gym. It enters silly territory when certain characters serves as {{mascot}}s for the city's goods and services, such as Plank for the local hardware store and Bubbles for laundry detergent.

* GroupieBrigade: One bumper has Ami and Yumi entering the hardware store, only to immediately run out due to loads of crazy fans.
* HereWeGoAgain: One bumper involves Frankie Foster trying and repeatedly failing to find a parking spot for her bus after dropping the imaginary friends off at the Town Hall. The end of the bumper has Fred in the Mystery Machine arriving at the Town Hall after Foster and the friends have left, implying he's going to go through the same troubles she did.

%%* MarsAndVenusGenderContrast: "Women are from Venus. Supermen are from Krypton."

* MundaneUtility: One bumper shows [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Raven]] using her telekinesis to build a house of cards.

%%* PlumbersCrack: Seen in one of the ''Dexter's Lab'' bumps, with his robot highlighting it for good measure.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: The "Car Trouble" bumper has Professor Utonium leaving his keys inside his car. After trying multiple things to get the door open, Mandy comes along and asks if he actually tried the ''door handle''. Turns out Utonium left it unlocked.

%%* UncomfortableElevatorMoment:
%%** Dexter and Mandark aren't exactly happy to be sharing an elevator... until it briefly breaks down and they fearfully huddle together.

* TheAnnouncer: Primarily a female voice, Nikki (a then 16-year old voice artist in the UsefulNotes/{{Atlanta}} area); sometimes characters from the shows would provide voice-overs instead.

* BrickBreak: Ray Ray nearly tries this on Plank, only for Johnny 2x4 to stop him in the nick of time with a DivingSave.
* BullyingADragon: [[WesternAnimation/CampLazlo Edward]], not buying Eduardo's claim of being an ImaginaryFriend, doles out an EyePoke, nose pinch, and slug to the gut. Even if he's far more sensitive than he looks, Eduardo isn't going to take that lying down, and Edward winds up StuffedIntoATrashcan.

* DerangedAnimation: Referenced. The "We Don't Need No Stinkin' Tickets" short has Chip being conned by the Eds by them telling him that they're Mac's {{Imaginary Friend}}s. Chip mentions imaginary friends are "crazy" and "freaky". Noticing that the Eds look just that, he lets them into the movies.

* EconomyCast: Because every city-goer was a named character from a CN show, a few had to pull double duty and take certain occupations; Ed works as a busboy, Him works at a barbershop, and [[WesternAnimation/TimeSquad Buck Tudrussel]] runs a gym. It enters silly territory when certain characters serves as {{mascot}}s for the city's goods and services (such as Plank for the local hardware store and Bubbles for laundry detergent).

* HereWeGoAgain: One blooper involves Frankie Foster trying (and repeatedly failing) to find a parking spot for her bus after dropping the imaginary friends off at the Town Hall. The end of the blooper has Fred in the Mystery Machine arriving at the Town Hall after Foster and the friends have left, implying he's going to go through the same troubles she did.
* LetsMeetTheMeat: WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn appears as the {{mascot}} of a chicken restaurant, cleverly named [[Creator/RobertMcKimson McKimson's]] Chicken & Biscuits.

* MundaneUtility: One bumper shows Raven of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fame using her telekinesis to build a house of cards.

* PlumbersCrack: Seen in one of the ''Dexter's Lab'' bumps, with his robot highlighting it for good measure.

* RedSockRuinsTheLaundry: In one bumper, WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack and WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo are washing their clothes at a laundromat. Jack's white clothes come out pink because Blossom forgot her pink nightgown, and Jack didn't notice it while putting his clothes in.

* SceneryPorn: Some bumpers lack characters and instead show off or focus on the details of the buildings.
* ShoutOut: Many characters who aren't present in the bumpers themselves appear via other means (often combining this with MythologyGag):

** One bumper shows a magazine with [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi]] on it. Yugi gets referenced in a few other bumpers, as well, as does ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}''.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** The bumpers are this to the bumpers of the preceding "Powerhouse" era which depicted various Creator/CartoonCartoons, WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, and Creator/HannaBarbera characters as {{Animated Actor}}s working together at Cartoon Network Studios (a key difference being the use of [[RogerRabbitEffect live-action extras]]). Fittingly, "Crossover Nexus" depicted the CN Studios building as part of the city.
** Even earlier bumpers depicted the characters all [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2_8pFLZLhk living]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ufn4graAuI in]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZbmong_T44 one]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLPPSmidkLw city]].

What came afterwards varied depending on where you live. In the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, the "Yes!" era gradually replaced it before being replaced in turn by the "Summer 2007" era, the "Fall" era, and finally, the "Noods" era. In UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica, which saw the longest run of "CN City", The "Noods" bumpers would be imported to create the "Toonix" era. In UsefulNotes/{{Europe}}, the "Arrow" era would be adopted. In UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} and UsefulNotes/{{Oceania}}, a "New Wave" of bumpers would begin. All of these would eventually converge into the "CHECK It" era of bumpers.

About eleven years after the bumpers stopped airing, the city was featured as the setting of the ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' episode "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E18CrossoverNexus Crossover Nexus]]", in which K.O., [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Garnet]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben102016 Ben]], and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo Raven]] join forces to save the city from a {{supervillain}} bent on eradicating heroes, with several other CN characters new and old (even a few from overseas pruductions) making cameos.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: The "Car Troublr" bumper has Professor Utonium leaving his keys inside his car. After trying multiple things to get the door open, Mandy comes along and asks if he actually tried the ''door handle''. Turns out Utonium left it unlocked.

* MundaneUtility: One bumper from Latin America shows Raven of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' fame using her telekinesis to build a house of cards.

These bumpers are shorts that show various Cartoon Network characters interacting together. They predominantly take place in a city (thus the name). The bumpers, along with a new logo and announcer, were introduced with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbVmkki7iis this montage]].
