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.
