 THE HIGH HAT | STATIC: Saturday Cartoons
A spinoff of Ted Turner’s brainchild Cartoon Network, Boomerang launched in May 2000, largely as a reflection of what Cartoon Network was in its early days: a showcase for “classic” TV and theatrical cartoons from the 1940s-80s.
In the case of Boomerang, the notion of classic was stretched somewhat, to embrace not only those toons that had won critical praise, but also those with sentimental or kitschy attraction.
Boomerang, then, is packaged for retro, evoking a dreamlike feel of past childhood, with hypnotic promo music and close-up shots of action figures representing classic toon characters.
