Cartoonito (visually rendered in all capital letters) is a pan-Asian cable and satellite television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery under its International division.

The original version of Cartoonito was launched on 1 December 2012, replacing Boomerang Asia. The channel would close on 1 January 2015, with Boomerang relaunched as part of the 2015 global rebrand. [1] [2]

On 28 June 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery announced that Cartoonito would once again become its own channel, and the switchover from Boomerang took place on July 28. [3]
