Cartoonito is the brand of two feeds that air animated series for preschoolers: Cartoonito Asia and Cartoonito Australia. Both are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery Asia-Pacific.
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.
As part of Cartoonito's 2021 relaunch, the brand returned to Asia as a block on Cartoon Network and Boomerang in March and May 2022 respectively; the block shifted to Boomerang full-time in November. 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 28 July.
