Afrika Boomerang has been rebranded as Cartoonito Afrika in English-speaking African countries since March 25. It will come with exciting new events filled with laughter, adventure and friendship.
With longtime Boomerang favorites such as Zig & Sharko, Mr. Bean, Masha and the Bear, Tom & Jerry, Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes Cartoons to shine together with new friends such as Dino Ranch, Thomas and Friends: All Engines Go and Lucas Spider.
Cartoonito brings them together – while adding brand-new shows like Batwheels, Bugs Bunny Builders and Interstellar Ella – just for starters – offering more variety than a program filled with new friends, reliable fun and extraordinary adventures for the whole family to enjoy.
According to the Editorial Lead, “the rebrand from Boomerang Africa to Cartoonito Africa enriches the world of our channel, bringing together the crème de la crème Boomerang with more adventures and more friends to be part of the big Cartoonito family. We know kids and families love our show , and we look forward to adding more great content that brings the whole family together.
Leading the rebranded channel is an exciting special – The Secret Origins of Batwheels – which starts at 08:40 CAT on March 2.
Batwheels is an action-adventure show that combines two of kids’ favorite things – superheroes and vehicles! The show revolves around a fun and dynamic team of super-powered vehicles and the obstacles these characters encounter while fighting the bad guys. This heroic and fresh gateway to Gotham City teaches us that teamwork is an integral part of the game that will help save us.
The 32-minute special, The Secret Origin of the Batwheels, sees the Batcomputer forced to bring the Bat-Vehicles to life while Batman, Robin and Batgirl are all taken. The newly minted Batwheels must defend the Batcave and face Zoom’s Legion – all without Batman’s help! The Batwheels series will then run every weekend at 08:40 CAT.
