Strange, considering that it's a French show. Is there a French channel blocking a pan-EMEA release like Totally Spies?

I don't know. My guess is that the show will release on Cartoon Network and HBO Max in Europe in July 2026.

Later.

I think CBBC already got the show as well in the UK.

honestly even though RYW didnt happen in emea in 2022 there was still a sense of "fun" reading the CN threads back then theorizing on what time and date they will Rebrand people making their own fanmade things ect dont think we will have that type of experience again

Last time we had a bit of "fun" was the rise of CN WE and CN EE

Graphically , the channel is as stale as it gets. Even if I used to defend keeping Dimensional, at least in comparison to RYW's eccentric seizure-inducing look (by an irresponsible US team), now a new look is well long OVERDUE, which I'm afraid is not going to come.

Cartoon Network seems the king of "lost opportunities", doesn't it?

Of course, also and especially in terms of programming
I'm not asking for a new logo (the current one is fine), but at least some novelty

Yeah, especially the mess of branding and the stubbornness in leaving some post-CHECK it. ones

CN Italy is only recently trying to "get back" to normality.

It seems that since 2007 the channel hasn't behaved normally "look-wise". I mean, the German and Italian feeds not being even able to rebrand to Check It 3.0 (and even Check It 4.0, for Italy), and even behaving weirdly at Dimensional.

The ex-Warner/Turner EMEA feeds were chaos

Yeah, also remember that the Romance Trio (CN FR-ES-IT) had its own questionable choices and that weighed in the branding

But CN Germany did rebrand to 3.0. All German-controlled feeds did.

Not properly.
Some compromise looks later created for Poland and widescreen, but not Check It 3.0 proper.
The Next bumpers were updated though, not the idents.

At least SOMETHING though, CN IT didn't even do that

IIRC Turner also made Spanish and Italian Floricienta websites, they got the rights to the show in the three countries when it was a national craze there

 

[EdCNPowerpuffDrama]

A CN channel airing Floricienta is hilarious, considering the show has the 2 child characters (Tomas and Roberta) watch and talk about Rugrats and Fairly OddParents sometimes.

It is odd, if you ask me, and the same was true for CN IT.
Definitely not for the Rugrats and FOP references, which are very vague.

I believe CN IT until 2006 was more of a "UK" feed (with its own independence), and starting with 2006-7 a lot of things had started to change, not just graphic changes, but wanting to compete with Disney Channel and their "Hannah Montana" and "Patito Feo", in their 2006-7 boom.
More or less the same time as CN US having some live action shows.

Of course, this hasn't worked, but it worked better on Boing.

 

[RegularMan]

In Israel it was on Jetix, which may or may not have been a more fitting home.

 

[EdCNPowerpuffDrama]

Floricienta was basically a live action cartoon telenovella for kids. Definitely fits more on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon, but it's a more fitting live action show for CN than any of the stuff CN US or CN CEE aired.

To be fair, in 2007-8 it felt like CN US didn't know what it wanted to be either

Blame the Argentine scriptwriters , thanks to Jetix, FOP was popular in Latin America, especially Argentina

In Latin America, Disney Channel did get pay-TV rights, weird that DC ES or DC FR dodged it.

i can’t lie, I don’t want CN EMEA to rebrand to Pastel. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t look good, and I know they would half-arse it and only use a select few of the assets, just like CN US is doing! I genuinely wouldn’t mind if they kept Dimensional for the rest of their life (this rebrand is really good and has a lot of assets), or until they can be bothered to make their own rebrand


Specifically to the UK, they do need to refresh their Dimensional. There are so many bumpers that originate from when they made promos and bumpers in SD and it’s so jarring
