Toons by night

NIGHTS HAVE become more animated now, what with Cartoon Network's round-the-clock telecast. Post 9.00 p.m., you can tune in to more toons, and yes, more fun too. From Batman, the evil quelling knight to the engaging characters in Boomerang Marathon, variety, as usual, is the hallmark of the Network's night slot too.

"It's all about establishing Cartoon Network as an entertainment superbrand in the country. The 24-hour service aims to elevate cartoons and animation to the level of general entertainment that appeals to both children and adults", Ian Diamond, senior vice president and general manager, Turner Entertainment Networks Asia, Inc., has said.

So what's the after-dark line-up like, one might ask. Well...it's a formidable mix of cult classics, hot new animation and Cartoon Network's originals. Boomerang showcases some of Hanna-Barbera's best animated series, while Power Zone Night Shift transports you to the world of classic actioners - where villains are vanquished and super heroes reign. The shows include G. I. Joe, Batman: The Animated Series, Swat Kats, The New Adventures of Captain Planet, Centurions and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

Atom Ant, Dick Dastardly, Quick Draw McGraw, Top Cat and Secret Squirrel - some of the animation legends will also appear. The Cartoon Cartoon Show features a mixture of original series like I am Weasel, The Powerpuff Girls and Johny Bravo. On weekends, the spotlight is on one Cartoon Cartoon star.

Now, no more details please...just tune in and see for yourself.
