Questions people ask
What is CartoonTV?
It's a site with three channels that play classic cartoons on a fixed daily schedule, so you watch whatever is currently airing rather than picking an episode.
Can I choose an episode or rewind on CartoonTV?
No, you can only change the channel, just like real TV; the TV guide shows what's coming up and reruns come around again.
Is CartoonTV free and do I need an account?
Yes, it's free with no account and no ads required.
Where does CartoonTV get its cartoons?
Every episode is an official upload from the rights holder's own YouTube channel, played through YouTube's player; CartoonTV doesn't host any video itself.
Is CartoonTV's chat safe for kids?
Chat is meant for ages 13 and up, turns off during the preschool blocks on Cartoon Comedy, and is not currently moderated by staff, so younger kids should watch without it.
