Cartoon Network is an emotion for every 90s kid. Teen Titans Go, The Power Puff Girls, The Looney Tunes Show, Dexter's Laboratory, and one of the most popular shows that still remains popular is Tom and Jerry Show. These are some of the most iconic shows of CN. but is this the end of an era?

Is Cartoon Network shutting down? Why is #RipCartoonNetwork trending on X, let's understand.

Cartoon Network's rumored shutdown has sent the internet into a frenzy. #RIPCartoonNetwork trend is now claiming a top spot on social media platforms like X, with users talking about their favorite shows on the channel and their opinions on the animation industry.

First of all, let's make this clear No, Cartoon Network is not shutting down. The network is still running, and there haven't been any recent layoffs to cause the #RIPCartoon Network trend. The trend started when an account called "Animation Workers Ignited" on X shared an animation claiming, "Cartoon Network is essentially Dead." The post also suggested that other animation studios face similar issues, mainly due to industry layoffs.

However, the channel is not shutting down. The hashtag started when an X account called Animation Workers Ignited used it to highlight the perils and financial state of animation workers in the industry. The account urged users to post about their favorite shows along with the hashtag, which spiraled and led to the rumor that the channel was closing down.

Still, the #RIPCartoonNetwork trend has made many people remember and talk about the cartoons they loved when they were kids. People have been mentioning shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and Ben 10, among others.

Despite its original intent to raise awareness about the animation industry, the #RIPCartoonNetwork trend by @AWorkersIgnited took an unexpected turn. Many netizens mistook the hashtag as a sign of the channels' closure, leading to a widespread misunderstanding. The #RIPCartoonNetwork trend is meant to raise awareness about the poor state of animation workers as the film industry progresses. The video attached to the original Animation Workers Ignited post goes deeper into the matter. They explain that many big animation studios are going out of business and laying off employees, resulting in mass unemployment for animation workers.
