Cartoon Network Studios is an American animation studio owned by the Warner Bros. Television Studios division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. The studio is the production arm of Cartoon Network, and was founded on October 21, 1994, as a division of Hanna-Barbera, until the latter was absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation in 2001.

Now, Cartoon Network Studios (CNS) is vacating its animation studio in Burbank. The news was announced on Twitter by Brian Miller, who was the general manager of the studio from its opening in 2000 until 2021.

Miller wrote on Twitter, “Sadly, this building will no longer be CNS. From what I’ve been told, everyone will be out by August 1. All moving together in a WB building as one animation unit. Farewell CNS as it was.”

The 43,000-square-feet three-story building is located at 300 N. 3rd Street. Cartoon Network spent around $1.2 million to transform the former commercial bakery into its animation studio and officially opened the studio on August 24, 2000.

WBD will order all of the Cartoon Network worker staff to leave the building and be relocated at Warner Bros Studio. Once the building is empty out, they will sales the studio building to film company for a prices.
