"We always strive to meet our audience where they are, and right now we know that many of them are at home, trying to figure out this new normal," said Jill King, SVP marketing and partnerships, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Boomerang. "If we can use our characters to convey simple, yet important safety messages, and keep kids entertained in this difficult time, we are all in."
