After Announcing the Removal of 4 DC Animated Shows Last Month, Max Started 2025 by Dropping Even More Titles

Cartoon Network fans are starting 2025 on a sour note as several beloved animated series have been removed from Max.

Just last month, it was announced that four popular DC animated series—Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!, Static Shock, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series—would leave the platform by the end of 2024. True to the announcement, these shows disappeared from Max’s library after December 31. But it didn’t stop there.

As of January 1, more fan-favorites have also been removed, including Ed, Edd n’ Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, The Looney Tunes Show, and the first seven seasons of Teen Titans Go! While the show’s eighth season remains on Max, fans hoping to revisit earlier episodes will have to look elsewhere, like Hulu, where some seasons are still available.

This isn’t the first time Max has upset fans by pulling Cartoon Network content. Over the past year, classics like Chowder, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, We Bare Bears, and Steven Universe have also been taken off the platform.

And it’s not just animated series—movies such as Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The LEGO Movie, A Clockwork Orange, and Se7en have also been quietly removed.

These changes have sparked concern among fans about Warner Bros. Discovery’s plans for Cartoon Network’s iconic library. The worries only grew when the official Cartoon Network website shut down in August, redirecting visitors to Max for animated content. Combined with the cancellation of newer shows like Craig of the Creek, it’s clear that Cartoon Network’s future is uncertain.

The removal of Teen Titans Go!—a massive success with over 400 episodes—is especially surprising. The show recently celebrated its milestone with a Cartoon Network marathon, highlighting its continued popularity. However, Max’s decision to pull earlier seasons hints at a broader strategy shift that remains unexplained.

For now, fans can turn to other platforms like Hulu and Prime Video for some of these classics. But the absence of these shows on Max—a service directly tied to Cartoon Network’s parent company—raises questions about the long-term accessibility of these beloved titles.

Warner Bros. Discovery has not commented on its 2025 plans for Cartoon Network content, leaving fans wondering what’s next.

What’s your take? Why do you think this is happening? Is physical media the best way to preserve these classics? Or will platforms like Tubi become their new home? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
