11	->Generally speaking, bumpers are these standalone independent clips that are just a once-and-done sort of deal, but by tying everything together in this one setting, proper cohesion is achieved, and immersion can begin to thrive. A cohesive world is full of stories just waiting to be told, after all!
12	-->-- WebVideo/ShadowStreak, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGB-R5mDEDY A CN City Retrospective]]''
13
14	The "CN City" era of Creator/CartoonNetwork began in June 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.
15
16	These bumpers are shorts that show various Cartoon Network characters interacting together. They predominantly take place in a city (hence the name) comprised of various locales from CN series, with a few original establishments. The bumpers, along with a new logo and announcer, were introduced with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbVmkki7iis this montage.]]
17
18	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[[note]]"It's a Fun Thing" in areas that precedes CHECK It with New Wave[[/note]] era of bumpers which continued until 2015-2017 when it was replaced by "Dimensional" depending on where you live, "CHECK It" ended between 2015 and 2018, and then Redraw Your World came in 2021, and Split Screen came just recently.
19
20	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 CN UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica productions) making cameos. The show's GrandFinale "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS3E19ThankYouForWatchingTheShow Thank You for Watching the Show]]" would see a brief return to the setting to squeeze in a few more cameos.
21
22	As that brief comeback indicates, this particular era of bumpers proved quite popular with fans due to the crossover premise and unique setting and style, leading to many re-circulation efforts. Website/YouTube compilations are plentiful, [[https://cartoonnetworkcity.jimdo.com/ This fan-site]] serves as an in-progress archive of various bumpers, and the Lost Media Wiki is working [[https://lostmediaarchive.fandom.com/wiki/Lost_Cartoon_Network_%22City%22_Bumpers to recover several bumpers from this and other CN eras.]] Eventually, [[https://vimeo.com/user11835269?utm_campaign=2470763&utm_source=affiliate&utm_channel=affiliate&cjevent=e0bd7070364611ea837105a10a24060e the director of these bumpers]] would release [[https://vimeo.com/showcase/4594906 HD masters of most of these bumpers]] on Platform/{{Vimeo}}.
23
24	Compare to ''VideoGame/FusionFall'', ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkSuperSecretCrisisWar'', and ''VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion'' for other Cartoon Network {{crossover}} works.

135	----
136	!!These bumpers provide examples of:
137	* AscendedExtra: Despite their shows not having their own set of bumpers, WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack and WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo got to star the "Laundry Day" short.
138	* AdvertisedExtra: A handful of Creator/WarnerBros co-productions had their own sets of bumpers, but seldom appeared elsewhere. The WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague in particular had very minimalistic bumpers.
139	* AlreadyMetEveryone: Seems that every character already knows each other.
140	%%* AmusementPark: The city has one.
141	* AnimalJingoism: In one bumper, Adam walked past a lion, whose locker was banging and making noises from within. Adam amiably asks "Whatcha got in there?", to which the lion replies "Lunch." Adam is understandably creeped out.
142	* TheAnnouncer: The atmospheric bumpers were primarily voiced over by Nikki, an at the time 16-year-old girl; sometimes characters from the shows would provide voice-overs instead.
143	* TheArtifact: The opening sequence for the revamped Creator/CartoonCartoonFridays block running at the time depicted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3O3MJMxQ2M the CN Studios setting and cast]] from the preceding era of bumpers, with only the set near the end (and the CN logo at the beginning) being updated.
144	* BananaPeel: In one bumper, Mojo Jojo tosses a banana peel on the ground, causing Mandark to slip and fall.
145	* BlatantLies: Low on funds as usual, Ed, Edd and Eddy manage to get into the movies for free by telling Chip, who's working as an usher, that they're [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends imaginary friends]], so they don't have to pay for entry.
146	* BrickBreak: [[WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee Ray Ray]] tries to chop [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Plank]] in half, only for Johnny 2x4 to stop him in the nick of time with a DivingSave.
147	* 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 doesn't take the abuse and [[StuffedIntoATrashcan stuffs Edward into a trash can]].
148	* TheCameo: Several Creator/HannaBarbera characters makes an appearance at the end of the "Hide and Seek" short.
149	* CatUpATree: Grim attempts to rescue Milkshakes when he's in this bind, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished only to end up startling him and get shredded to bits.]]
150	* TheCavalryArrivesLate: In one short, Juniper Lee rushes through the city subway to battle the rampaging Extremeosaur, only to find that the Powerpuff Girls are already dealing with it.
151	%%* CityOfAdventure: With all these characters living in one city, anything goes!
152	* CityOfEverywhere: CN City combines [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls Townsville]], [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Genius Grove]], [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo Aron City]], [[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 many others take place, respectively, into one large megalopolis. [[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.
153	* CityWithNoName: Given that the city is a fusion of many different locations, it doesn't/can't really have a single name, though later bumpers sometimes called it the "City of Downtown" or just "Downtown".
154	* ConformingOOCMoment: [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D]] joins in on Ed and Eddy's antics quite often, when in their origin series, [[OnlySaneMan he usually tries to stop them from doing dumb things]]. This includes dressing in [[WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi Ami and Yumi's]] clothes and laughing at [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Frankie]]'s failed attempts to find somewhere to park.
155	* {{Crossover}}: All of Cartoon Network's TurnOfTheMillennium-era shows (and a few beforehand) all live together in the same city; the characters interacting with each other is a focal point.
156	* DemotedToExtra:
157	** From this point onward, the ''Creator/CartoonCartoons'' brand was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ZzQqBoJns largely relegated to]] [[https://cartoonnetwork.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cartoon_Cartoon_Show a single half-hour program]] showing assorted bits from other shows, before being phased out entirely in 2007. 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]])
158	** The latter half of the era saw characters from older shows that had ended their runs such as ''Dexter'', ''PPG'', and ''Courage'' appearing far less to focus more on those of their then-current offerings.
159	* 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 like that, he lets them into the movies.
160	* DiscoDan: In the "Street Cred" short, Fred is presented as an oblivious dork who finds pride in having a very outdated late '60s van, to the point of bragging to Coop and Jamie in their HumongousMecha. To drive the point home, he's wearing his classic ascot despite other bumpers depicting him in his ascot-less ''What's New'' look.
161	* DogsLoveFireHydrants: One of the bumpers features Franchise/ScoobyDoo preparing to go on a hydrant, only for Courage to signal him to get in the back of the line. The camera then pans to a line of other cartoon dogs waiting to go (including Scrappy-Doo, [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Dino]], and WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound).
162	* EasterBunny: While on an easter egg hunt, Billy mistakes a passing [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends Mr. Herriman]] for the Easter Bunny.
163	* 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, Bubbles for laundry detergent and ComicBook/{{Robin}} for energy drinks.
164	* FightForTheLastBite: One bumper sees Ricochet, Buena Girl, and the Flea ready to fight for the last donut.
165	* FreeRangeChildren: Several kid characters (most of which being "free range" in their own shows) were often seen city-going without adult supervision.
166	%%* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Some bumpers have something happening in the background.
167	* GreenAroundTheGills: In an Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy bumper, Ed retrieves a jawbreaker from the sewer and proceeds to eat it, causing Edd and Eddy to look like they're about to puke.
168	* GroupieBrigade: One bumper has Ami and Yumi entering the hardware store, only to immediately run out due to loads of {{loony fan}}s.
169	* HauntedHouse: Several bumpers featuring Mystery Inc. would have them investigating a haunted ''hotel''.
170	* 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 Town Hall. The end of the bumper has Fred in the Mystery Machine arriving at Town Hall after Foster and the friends have left, implying he's going to go through the same troubles she did.
171	* HollywoodToneDeaf: One bumper sees Courage, Ed, Eduardo, the Professor, and Numbah 3 as ChristmasCarolers, the result being about as melodious as you'd expect.
172	* LetsMeetTheMeat: WesternAnimation/FoghornLeghorn appears as the {{mascot}} of a chicken restaurant, named [=McKimson's=] Chicken & Biscuits after his creator Creator/RobertMcKimson.
173	* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: The cast of Camp Lazlo, which has a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, interacting with humans from various other series with nary a comment. Already done with the cast of My Gym Partner’s a Monkey as that element is part of the show itself.
174	%%* MarsAndVenusGenderContrast: "Women are from Venus. Supermen are from Krypton: a practical guide for balancing a relationship and a {{secret identity}}. [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]], Ph.D."
175	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The titular city features characters from all of Cartoon Network's original programming at the time living and interacting with each other.
176	* MediumBlending: 2D-animated characters, each with the style of their original shows, all in near-photorealistic 3D settings.
177	* MistakenForSubculture: One extended spot has the Mayor mistaking Frankie for a {{beatnik}} thanks to her '60s-style bus. He yells at her to get off his property and threatens to call the Powerpuff Girls on her. He does the same thing to the Mystery Gang at the end after they take Frankie's parking spot.
178	* MotifMerger: One bumper depicts the Justice League's personal logos floating on the wall of the Watchtower and converging into the CN logo.
179	* MuggedForDisguise: Fred walks into an alleyway, and the Creeper walks out in his clothes.
180	* MundaneMadeAwesome: One bumper has Jack wielding a broom like a sword.
181	* MundaneUtility:
182	** The Powerpuff Girls use their powers to play hide-and-seek, light the fireplace, and spare Professor Utonium the hassle of finding his parking spot.
183	** 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.
184	** Gus uses Robotboy to microwave popcorn.
185	* MusicalEpisode: One bumper has Lazlo singing to Bloo about everything CN City has to offer.
186	-->''I'm taking advantage of all of the things / This place has to offer, like robots and wings''\
187	''If your house needs a plank or your car has a dink / You can find it at... Car-toon!''
188	* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Characters can be holding whatever sort of job needed for the bumper to work. Sometimes it gets weird when the characters in question are most likely pre-teens.
189	* NoodleIncident: A few bumpers depict the characters in certain compromising situations with no explanation, such as Edd tied up to a lamppost and phoning for help, Billy and Mandy trapped in TV static, or Lazlo and Raj behind the wheel of the Camp Kidney bus.
190	* OffhandBackhand: One of the bumpers have Juniper knocking out a ''dragon'' sneaking up behind her without even looking.
191	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. In addition to WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy, there's also Edward, the jerk platypus from ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'', and Eduardo, the bull-like imaginary friend from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends''.
192	* OutOfCharacter: Edd is frequently depicted as a willing participant in Ed and Eddy's shenanigans, instead of the unheeded MoralityChain he is in his home show.
193	%%* PlumbersCrack: Seen in one of the ''Dexter's Lab'' bumps, with his robot highlighting it (and putting it on one of his screens) for good measure.
194	* PunkInTheTrunk: The "Under the Stars" bumper opens with Grim driving into the local DriveInTheater, with Billy emerging from the trunk.
195	* 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 when she was doing her own laundry earlier, and Jack didn't notice it while putting his clothes in.
196	* RogerRabbitEffect: The "Get Animated" bumpers were the only ones to feature live-action, due to their focus on encouraging kids to exercise.
197	%%* ShipTease: One bumper has Numbuh 3 and Numbuh 4 goofing off together.
198	* SceneryPorn: Some bumpers lack characters and instead show off or focus on the details of the buildings and the like.
199	* SelfOffense: One bumper depicts [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Dodgers]] in an intense firefight, only for [[WesternAnimation/PorkyPig Cadet]] to warn him that he's firing on his own fleet.
200	-->'''Dodgers:''' That's... really gonna bring down my average.
201	* ShoutOut:
202	** Many characters who aren't present in the bumpers themselves appear via other means, often combined with a MythologyGag:
203	*** ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters are predominantly relegated to signs and billboards.
204	*** In a ''Teen Titans'' bumper, ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' characters appeared on playing cards.
205	*** One bumper shows a magazine with [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi]] on it.
206	*** Dexter asks a mall Santa (played by Eustace) that he wants a particle accelerator for Christmas. Eustace replies, "you'll shoot your eye out, kid", ala ''Film/AChristmasStory''.
207	** One bumper had a CarChase with the Camp Kidney bus being followed by the police, likely a reference to ''Film/{{Speed}}''.
208	** The bumper where Jimmy is all alone in the city {{homage}}s ''Film/TwentyEightDays''.
209	* StatingTheSimpleSolution:
210	** 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.
211	-->'''Professor:''' Silly me! Thanks, Mandy.\
212	'''Mandy:''' Whatever.
213	** A non-verbal example sees Dexter panicking as his lab has a meltdown of "unimaginable doom"... until Dee Dee flicks a single switch that sets everything back to normal.
214	* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Dexter uses a device to turn rain into jellybeans. Thing is, jellybeans, being more solid than raindrops, tend to hurt when falling from high in the sky en masse.
215	* ToiletTeleportation: One bumper sees Sector V emerging one by one from a series of toilets, with Numbah 2 naturally getting stuck.
216	** During the Yes! era, one bumper sees Ed going from one toilet to another nearby toilet.
217	* TormentByAnnoyance: One bumper sees Dee Dee subjecting Dexter to the classic "I'm not touching you" bit, much to their parents' chagrin. Another sees her prancing around on the front lawn, blocking Dexter from entering the house.
218	-->'''Dexter:''' Dee Dee, the sidewalk is no place for dancing!
219	* UncomfortableElevatorMoment:
220	** Dexter and Mandark aren't exactly happy to be sharing an elevator... until it briefly breaks down and they fearfully huddle together.
221	** Juniper Lee boards the elevator, and a monster tries not to get noticed.
222	* WashyWatchy: Munroe watches Lazlo riding in the washing machine in one bumper.
223	* WetCementGag: In one bumper, Ed has left his face-and-hand-prints (and the CN logo) on a sidewalk.
224	* WorldOfBadass: Every single show at the time had representation, which included all the really actiony shows.
