The 90's and early 00s were a time were Saturday morning cartoons became obsolete to the new 24 hour a day cartoon network and other channels that featured cartoons like Nickelodeon and Disney. In this time Cartoons changed and there was changes regarding the audience and consumers, characters and ideas, the confinements of regulations, where, and how cartoons are viewed. From the 90's to present day cartoons have seen changes all over the spectrum.
Between 2002 and 2012 ,In a merger between Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner to follow Disney and Nickelodeon, Cartoons got canceled to include more reality based shows. The cartoons that were canceled were the cartoons of the 90's.
When i was younger watching a superhero show was not as entertaining as cartoons with characters who had everyday dilemmas. for example kids in the 60's saw mighty mouses & Captain Americas whereas is every decade since the cartoons have become more and more less serious.
Once the audience changed so did the cartoons. maybe the new generation of kids probably wanted to see something more relatable to them, they grew tired of talking beavers and babies. On average most people that still watch Cartoon Network are in there 30's proving that maybe cartoons aren't for kids anymore.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes expands on its predecessor with an exciting and ambitious burst of sci-fi achievement."
A few days before release, the approval rating for the film on the website, which aggregates reviews, averaged an astounding 98 percent.
"I'm more proud of this film than I have been of any film in a while," says Erik Winquist, one of three visual effects supervisors at Weta Digital working under overall VFX Supervisor Dan Lemmon and with the guidance of Joe Letteri, senior VFX supervisor and Weta Digital director.
"It's rare when you get to work on something as strong," Winquist continues. "The story, the performances, the visuals. Everything was firing on all cylinders."
The film brings back Andy Serkis in the role of Caesar, the chimpanzee in Rise of the Planet of the Apeswho was dosed by the human character Will Rodman (Actor James Franco) with an intelligence-enhancing drug. In that film, Caesar releases a gaseous version of the viral drug in a primate shelter. After a confrontation on the Golden Gate Bridge, Caesar, the apes from the shelter, and others from the zoo, escape north into Muir Woods. The credits for that film set up this one. The virus, which enhanced the apes' intelligence, kills people - and it's spreading around the world.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes film opens with a news report about the pandemic caused by the virus. It's 10 years later. Caesar is now the leader of a large community of apes living in Muir Woods. He has a wife, a teenage son, and a newborn. He chases through the forest to hunt food. Unbeknownst to Caesar, a colony of surviving humans lives across the Bridge. When they enter the Marin County woods to re-activate a hydroelectric dam, the conflict begins.
All the apes in both films are CG characters. For Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, a crew of 900 people at Weta Digital worked on 1,100 visual effects shots, some for a few weeks, others for a year and a half to two years. "
"We were the only company that created the apes and the environments," Lemmon says.http://youtu.be/4NU9ikjqjC0
