Wow… Cartoon Network is actually going to start focusing on… cartoons.

Jerry Beck at Cartoon Brew has already done many articles on this, so I won’t rehash their points (but I will summarize): Cartoon Network has become less and less like a cartoon network and more like a Nickelodeon knock-off over the past year.

Apparently that is changing. They just had their “up-fronts” for advertisers and the network is putting a lot of new cartoons on the air as well as investing in a “CARTOONISTUTE” that will be headed by Craig McCracken where 150 artists and writers will create new work exclusively for the channel. Smart. Very smart.

Oh, and they’ll also be showing the new animated Star Wars series. And a new Batman cartoon (now they just need to rehire Kevin Conroy to voice him).

Details here.
