Cartoon City Adventures

Cartoon City Adventures is a series of made-for-t.v.-movies created by Cartoon Network Studios starting in 2017. The series featured several Cartoon Network original and licensed characters.

Production
The idea for this series dates back as early as 2005. With the success of the Cartoon Network City bumpers on the channel, The network had plans of making an animated series based on the bumpers. It would've featured characters such as Dexter, The Powerpuff Girls, Bloo and Mac, Juniper Lee, and Ed, Edd n Eddy all interacting with each other and going on adventures. But the project was cancelled due to the fact that the team would be using photorealistic backgrounds while having 2D animated characters with different designs in it, which was a still difficult to animate, even back in the 2000s. The idea still stuck with them for over an entire decade, always choosing dates to release the series, but all were scrapped. It wouldn't be until 2015 were the channel announced they would start production on the series and would be scheduled for an early 2016 release. The project was being worked on several Cartoon Network veterans such as Genndy Tartavosky and Craig McCracken. The series also had to get new voice actors for a few of the characters like Mac, who's original voice actor, Sean Marquette, was too old to voice him now, and was replaced by Collin Dean. Another thing they decided to do was give the Cartoon Network characters updated outfits to match with the late 2010s like what Nickeloden did with Hey Arnold! The Jungle Movie. The series would officially premiere in October 2017, to commemorate Cartoon Network's 25th Anniversary.
