Cartoon Network Games (known as Cartoon Network Interactive before 2014) is the developer and publisher of video games based on Cartoon Network's animated shows. Established in 2000, the division primarily makes games for mobile devices and their website, after switching from home consoles in the early 2010s.
Visuals: The 1992-2004 Cartoon Network logo appears from the top on a black background and emerges a blue beam from its bottom. Various CN-series characters in the following order are sucked from the bottom and into the CN logo:
Johnny Bravo (Johnny Bravo)
Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
Jack (Samurai Jack)
Bubbles (The Powerpuff Girls)
Mojo Jojo (The Powerpuff Girls)
Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy)
Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory)
Dee Dee (Dexter's Laboratory)
Then, a grey plate with "INTERACTIVE" on it with a green cartridge piece follows and sticks to the logo. Then the logo shines.
Trivia: The animations of Courage (both the main and later variants), Bubbles (main variant only), Mojo Jojo (main variant only), Ed (both the main and later variants), Dexter (main variant only) and Dee Dee (main variant only) were provided by Primal Screen (which were recycled from Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, a block that ran on Cartoon Network from 1999 to 2003).
Variants:
On The Powerpuff Girls: Relish Rampage and The Powerpuff Girls: Mojo Jojo's Clone Zone, a copyright notice appears under the logo after the animation is done.
There is another variant where the blue beam is darker, and the cartridge and "INTERACTIVE" text are a brighter green. Plus, different CN characters are sucked in this time:
Numbuh 1 (Codename: Kids Next Door)
Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog)
Johnny Bravo (Johnny Bravo)
Chicken (Cow and Chicken)
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup (The Powerpuff Girls; in their poses)
Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory; in his different pose)
Grim (Grim & Evil/The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy)
Ed (Ed, Edd n Eddy)
Jack (Samurai Jack; in his different pose)
There is a still version of the logo that appears on a white background or sometimes, a black background. Sometimes, there is a copyright info under the logo.
Technique: Flat 3D animation.
Audio: UFO beam sounds. None for the still variants.
Visuals: The 2004 Cartoon Network logo appears on a black background. Suddenly, the "C" becomes an eye and blinks, then the two parts disperse like rubber and crash each other, shaking the eye. The name appears below.
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: A cuckoo sound and the crash.
Audio Trivia: The sounds were actually recycled from a Cartoon Network bumper from 2004-2005 (in fact the bumper's music is composed by Matt Fletcher for Elias Arts), in which the cuckoo sound was the sound of the same bumper in fast forward (as well as in high-pitched) and the crash was also the sound of the same bumper's beginning.
Visuals: On a green background with a green button, a hand (possibly Billy's from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy) pushes the button, which involves various CN-based characters:
Billy laughing at Grim's underwear, but Mandy is not amused.
Ed, Double D, and Eddy stacked on each other, frightened.
Bloo tackling Mac.
Ben Tennyson and his nine aliens.
They begin to appear faster, until the background changes to black with the 2004 Cartoon Network logo (the right side of the "N" is extended to form the rest of the "I") with "interactive" at the bottom. The logo glows green, and the button is still intact.
Variant: There is a still variant that takes place on a white or black background.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A few button pressing sound effects ending with some UFO-like buzzes. None for the still variant.
Visuals: A green light moves along a curvy surface, made of numerous round shapes. Then, the CN logo is shown; the "C" is full of green electric charge. The charge goes to the whole logo and lights on a green button, which in turn causes the name to appear.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Entirely background sounds, humming and electric noise.
Visuals: On a black background, the camera zooms out to reveal the black background is actually a black square on a white background. As the square zooms out, white pixels form a white "C" on the square. Afterwards, black pixels form a black "N" on an invisible white square next to the black square. Another set of pixels form the text "CARTOON NETWORK" below it, revealing the current Cartoon Network logo, then many squares switch sides (as if they were blinking) and then form a rectangular banner with two squares on both sides each and text reading "INTERACTIVE". The logo then ends with a TV power-off effect.
Variant: A still version exists.
Technique: Digitized effects.
Audio: A synth-like rendition of the 4-note Cartoon Network jingle (composed by Michael Kohler) which was also used in the channel's IDs at the time, followed by a turn-off sound.
Visuals: Over a black background, the 2010 version of the Cartoon Network "Checkerboard" logo is seen. Suddenly, the logo folds into a white outline of a circle with white lines around it (which disappear as the outline quickly flashes the colors pink, yellow, and blue), which turns into a white filled-in circle. Then, the circle slides away as the background turns yellow, pink, and blue (the colors quickly slide in from the left). As this happens, the word "GAMES" (with the "A" replaced by a square) is quickly formed letter-by-letter. The colors then slow down to reveal the black background again with "GAMES", being a white outline with no filling, slides into the center. The 2010 "CARTOON NETWORK" text in white is shown above the "GAMES" text. A white outline of a triangle the appears in the square, spinning around once as its filling flashes pink, yellow, and blue before returning to black.
Variants:
On earlier online games, the Cartoon Network "Checkerboard" logo folds into a set of arrow keys, which are all pressed (individually) once before the animation continues as normal. The animation is also a bit slowed down. Later online games use the normal variant, but the animation is still slowed down a bit.
Starting with The Powerpuff Girls: Flipped Out!, the "CARTOON NETWORK" text is not shown above the "GAMES" text, and instead the current Cartoon Network logo slides up from the text, then slides down a bit causing the "GAMES" text to slide down.
An extended version exists where the "Checkerboard" logo folds into a set of arrow keys (like the early variant), then it changes into a D-pad and four gamepad buttons. When the buttons disappear, the finished product plays.
A still version exists, which was spotted on Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations and The Powerpuff Girls: Defenders of Townsville (with the latter having the Cartoon Network copyright information at the lower-left side of the screen).
Technique: Fast paced animation.
Audio: There is some scratchy synth warbling as the "Checkerboard" logo folds up, then a screechy synth note, which segues into the current Cartoon Network jingle played on a chime-like synth.
Audio Variants:
On earlier online games with this logo, various video game sounds are heard, followed by an electronic version of the Cartoon Network jingle.
The extended version has a pop sound, along with various sound effects.
Sometimes, it's silent and or the opening theme of the game.
Availability: This first appeared on Calling All Mixels and has appeared on every one of Cartoon Network's newer mobile and online games since then.
