Less than a week after Paramount acquired Warner Bros., Cartoon Network has been affected by a gigaleak.
Users on X have claimed internal assets for over 30 of the channel’s shows have been spread across the internet. At time of writing, the affected series purportedly include hits like The Amazing World of Gumball, Teen Titans (2003), and Adventure Time. Another notable addition is Powerpuff Girls Z, an anime spinoff that aired in other countries, but never the United States.
Per IndiaTimes, over 200GB worth of material is out there, from character rigs and model sheets to storyboards and internal production guides. The situation is similar to what happened with Disney’s animation division in 2024, wherein several shows—including The Owl House and Gravity Falls—had their show bibles and other materials leaked. (Or, to a lesser degree, the entirety of Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender being leaked earlier this year.) And like with Disney, there’s no word on who revealed these Cartoon Network assets, or why. As is, animation fans are poring over what’s out there and posting what most interests them online.
