Cartoon Network celebrates 20 years on the air with a 'toony music video

(Video link) Cartoon Network turned 20 years old last night at exactly 6:58 PM, EST! But that still isn't old enough to drink, which is surely the reason Adult Swim isn't featured in this tribute video by London's ILOVEDUST. Though Adventure Time probably spiked the punch. (via Gawker)

Youtube says I’m not allowed to watch it because of something about where I live.

Mexico is out of play, too. (Not that I really really wanted to watch it.)

meh, no Venture Brothers? no Aqua Teen? (“nah, those are like adult-swim, man”) no Invader Zim? (“wait… whut?”)

  Zim was never on Cartoon Network. He was on Nickelodeon. But yes…a severe lack of AS and even Toonami stuff in there.

  Zim is Nickelodeon.

I know it wouldn’t have worked stylistically, but am nevertheless disappointed in the lack of ReBoot.

No Home Movies? They started Adult Swim with that show.

I pretty much stopped watching CN once Toonami went off the air the first time… Besides the Toonami intros where epic.

(Yes, yes I know it’s back or coming back.)

Space Ghost Coast to Coast was before Adult Swim (back when almost every Saturday night was Twilight of the Cockroaches or Vampire Hunter D) and it even spawned Cartoon Planet which was prime time viewing to feature the cartoon cartoon stuff before they were features. I think at least those early shows deserve some more love. Same with the shows now on Boomerang since they were the features back in the day. It’s the whole reason I like Johnny quest so much.

This is truly lovely.
And it captures the true sense of wonder that is great animation.
