In the article “Cartoon Comes Alive,” Multichannel News notices the Cartoon Network original movie Re-Animated, airing December 3. The essay particularly observes the live-action content of the film, while also explaining the gradual shift Cartoon Network is taking in its programming. Nonetheless, the channel’s president, Jim Samples, assures viewers that his network will remain dedicated to animation. “Most of the stuff coming through the pipeline is animation,” he commented. “But you shouldn’t be surprised to see more live-action programming, but we’re predominately an animated network and that’s not changing anytime soon.”
