Tubi Acquires a Large Catalog of Animated Content
The fate of Warner Bros. seems to be up in the air, as the company burns billions of dollars each year, proceeding with major staff layoffs and cancelled projects. In the past few years, Warner Bros. removed most of their animated content from HBO Max and were about to shelve their upcoming Looney Tunes film Coyote vs. Acme until Ketchup Entertainment acquired distribution rights.

On February 13, 2026, streaming service Tubi announced they will add many classic Warner Bros.-owned cartoons to their platform this March. The selection of cartoons range from the 1960s to the 2010s, so there's a lot of variety.
What Tubi is doing is not new. From 2023 to 2025, they added a large catalogue of theatrical Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes shorts to their platform, after they were removed from HBO Max.
You can find the full list of cartoons added here, and below I'll list the ones with predominately anthropomorphic animals that might be of interest:
- Animaniacs (1993), a classic Warner Bros. variety cartoon that was well known for its adult comedy, 4th-wall breaking, pop-culture references and its slapstick humor. Fans of the Looney Tunes will take a great liking to this show and its many segments. I tend to favor Slappy Squirrel!
- Loonatics Unleashed (2005), a unique twist on the Looney Tunes universe. Rather than being a slapstick cartoon, Loonatics takes the descendants of its classic cartoon characters and turns them into superheroes that must defend a post-apocalyptic Earth from evil. Despite Warner Bros' attempt to make it more "hip with the kids," Loonatics was met with mass backlash and negative reception for the drastic changes to its classic cast, which halted the release of any new Looney Tunes projects until 2011's The Looney Tunes Show (which is also on Tubi). So why am I recommending this to you, since it was so negatively received? Well, it's such a bizarre concept, that it must be seen to be believed. Admittedly, the designs of the main cast are quite nice and the characters seem interesting. Tech E. Coyote and Rev Runner tend to be fan favorites.

- Top Cat (1961), an animated sitcom from Hanna-Barbera. Top Cat is about the title character and his group of alley cats attempting (and failing) to find ways to get rich by creating scams in their city while avoiding conflict with local officers. It's a standout when compared to many Hanna-Barbera works due to its writing, setting, and characters. The show has snarky writing and characters that aren't entirely moral, which makes their antics so much more enjoyable. The setting also gives the show a bit more grit when compared to your standard Saturday morning cartoon fare. Out of all of Hanna-Barbera shows from the 1960s, Top Cat easily ranks amongst my favorites from the lot!

- Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999), a spooky-comedy classic from Cartoon Network. The show follows Courage as he lives with his owners in a farmhouse stranded in the middle of nowhere, where they encounter all kinds of creatures from the horror genre such as aliens, monsters, and ghosts. Courage is a unique Cartoon Network show because the horror element made it a lot more grotesque than the programs that aired alongside it. Despite this, it was balanced out with great slapstick comedy and writing. A personal standout episode is "The Mask", due to its mature handling of domestic abuse and its display of an LGBTQ+ relationship - a rarity in children's animation at the time.

- Taz-Mania (1991), a show starring the Tasmanian Devil character from The Looney Tunes. It's a simple show that follows the adventures of Taz in Tazmania. What makes Taz-Mania so interesting is its cast of characters. Rather than relying on callbacks to the original Looney Tunes shorts, the cast is comprised of new Australian, furry critters that fit well into the universe that it had spun off from. I've been watching the show as of recently, since it currently airs on MeTV Toons, and I found myself really enjoying the series. I found myself taking a strong liking to its alligator characters, Bull and Axl. They're quite neat!

- Tiny Toons Adventures (1990), another classic show from Warner Bros. It wouldn't make sense to mention Animaniacs and Taz-Mania, but not this show! The series follows a group of cartoon characters who are trained by classic Looney Tunes characters to become the next generation. For many kids, this was their Looney Tunes. For some furries, this was their furry awakening. There's a reason why this show was such a success. It managed to do a great job at compelling kids with its satire on pop culture, and its fun characters. Definitely a show for fans of Looney Tunes!

- Yogi's Treasure Hunt (1985), another Hanna-Barbera cartoon. You may look at the title of this and think that it's just another Yogi Bear show, but this is much more different than that. It's actually a crossover show featuring a wide range of Hanna-Barbera's characters from the 60s - such as the previously mentioned Top Cat - and Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and many more, with Yogi Bear taking the lead role. This is one of the more memorable cartoons from the 80s Hanna-Barbera lineup, due to its more unique premise and inventful stories. It's just a fun show that has a lot of furry animal characters hunting for treasure, and you can't go wrong with that!
The addition of these programs to Tubi is a wonderful thing to see! Warner Bros. seems to find a lot of their animation catalog disposable, since their own streaming services continue to pivot away from hosting them themselves. Not only do these cartoons have a new home, it's a home that doesn't require paying a subscription to watch. Free cartoons are a win for everyone!
