History
Boing once carried a Cartoonito-branded block between 3 September 2011 to 5 July 2013.[1] In May 2021, it was announced that there were plans to relaunch Cartoonito within the region around Spring 2022, with HBO Max.[2][3] On 2 February 2023, it was announced that Boing would transition to a new branding of Cartoonito on 3 April 2023.[4][5][6]
The network programming initially was made of reruns and mostly targeting a family audience, as Boing with reruns of Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Toonami, and films. Cartoon Network's international acquisitions aired on Boing, while Cartoon Network France focuses on Cartoon Network Originals. Boing France co-produced some French shows (Zorro, the Chronicles, Chronokids, and Miss Moon) and made a mini-series: JuMo.
