Tubi Picks Up Over 100 Cartoon Network Classics, Adding Grim Adventures, Freakazoid, and Green Lantern

Cartoon Network’s beloved catalog is finding a new home on Tubi after a recent purge from HBO Max. The free, ad‑supported platform announced a third wave of titles arriving on August 1, adding over 100 shows from the Warner Bros. vault. Highlights include the hard‑to‑stream Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, the quirky Freakazoid!, and the superhero series Green Lantern: The Animated Series. This move expands Tubi’s animation library and gives fans a legal way to revisit these classics without a subscription.

What happened

Earlier this year Tubi secured the rights to more than 100 Cartoon Network and Kids WB titles as part of its “cartoon era” initiative. The deal followed the platform’s successful rescue of the Looney Tunes library and its March announcement of the Scooby‑Doo anime, Yokoso Scooby‑Doo!.

Starting August 1 the service will add a third batch that includes The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and its holiday special, the Mexican‑inspired lucha‑show ¡Mucha Lucha!, as well as Freakazoid! and Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Additional titles such as Beetlejuice, Looney Tunes: 3D Shorts, and Codename: Kids Next Door – Operation Z.E.R.O. round out the collection.

Why it matters

Providing free, legal access to these hard‑to‑find cartoons revives fan interest and introduces the shows to a new generation, while strengthening Tubi’s competitive edge against other ad‑supported services. For Warner Bros., the arrangement monetizes legacy content without a subscription barrier, extending the lifespan of its animated library. Viewers gain a convenient hub for nostalgia, but the temporary nature of licensing means the catalog could shift, underscoring the importance of timely viewing.

How to think about it

If you’re a fan, start by creating a watchlist on Tubi and set reminders for the August 1 launch. Since the service is ad‑supported, consider watching on a device where you can mute or skip non‑essential commercials. Keep an eye on the catalog updates; when a favorite title disappears, look for it on other legal platforms or consider purchasing it before it leaves.
