4	[[https://cartoonito.com Cartoonito]] is a brand name used by Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery for a collection of preschool-oriented blocks and television channels. The brand originated as a block on Creator/CartoonNetwork Too in the UK which debuted on September 4, 2006 and ran from 6am to 3pm GMT daily. On May 24, 2007 Cartoonito was spun-off into its own television channel, replacing the British version of Creator/{{Toonami}}. Cartoonito also aired as a morning block on the British version of Creator/{{Boomerang}} from 2009 to 2010.

6	In 2011, Turner EMEA announced that Cartoonito would expand across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with both CN and Boomerang channels in that region launching blocks. On August 22nd of that same year, Cartoonito launched in Italy (as part of an extension of Turner and Mediaset's partnership, which originally included the original Boing channel there) and ten days later on September 1st, Cartoonito launched in Spain replacing that country's version of Boomerang. On December 1, 2012, Cartoonito launched in South-East Asia replacing that region's version of Boomerang. On June 30, 2013, the Spanish version of the channel was shut down alongside the Spanish version of Cartoon Network. By 2015, barring the UK and Italy, the brand had been phased out in every EMEA/APAC territory due to Boomerang's then-ongoing global relaunch.

8	With the announcement of ''WesternAnimation/{{Batwheels}}'' on October 6, 2020, [=WarnerMedia=] began planning a global relaunch of the Cartoonito brand. The relaunch was announced on February 17, 2021, with the announcement of Cartoonito's US debut as a block on Cartoon Network (marking the channel's second attempt at a dedicated preschool block since ''Tickle U'', which aired from 2005 to 2007) and as a content hub on HBO Max (currently, Creator/{{Max}}). This comes as a part of [=WarnerMedia=]'s plans to expand its kids and family offerings, coinciding with Cartoon Network's plans to expand its target audience (to also target families) and the announcements of ''WesternAnimation/BugsBunnyBuilders'', ''Tom & Jerry Junior'' (later renamed to ''Tom & Jerry Time'' before getting scrapped) and ''Jessica's Big Little World'' respectively. The brand would now focus on celebrating what makes preschoolers original & unique, which is part of CN's then-new direction and each show would use "human-centric learning". The US block premiered on September 13, 2021. The brand also expanded to Latin American regions beginning on December 1 of that year (replacing the LATAM version of Boomerang).

10	Starting in 2022, Cartoonito re-expanded its presence in the EMEA and APAC regions: the British channel was rebranded on February 1, blocks were launched in subsequent months on either Cartoon Network or Boomerang, and the Italian version of the channel rebranded on June 5. In 2023, WBD began rebranding their Boomerang channels in Europe and Africa to Cartoonito, as well as Boing in France. That same year, WBD announced that it would rebrand Boomerang in the SEA countries to Cartoonito on July 28th and on September 4th in the Nordic countries, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and the Arab world.
