Cartoon Network (partially lost "Nood" bumpers from TV channel; 2008-2010)
On July 14th, 2008, Cartoon Network rebranded with a focus on their new mascot called Noods. Developed by Capacity and based on the Dunny-esque figures made by Kidrobot, Noods were CGI humanoids that could take on the appearance of any Cartoon Network character.
The Noods would appear in three different kinds of bumpers. First, "Up Next" bumpers that informed the viewer of what show was coming up next. Second, "Flick" bumpers which advertised movies being played on the channel ahead of time. Third, "Sketch" bumpers, which had the Nood characters interact with one another and end with the cartoon network logo.
Though no primary sources can be found to confirm this, it is agreed upon by most people that Will Arnett and Greg Cipes provided the voices for the Nood bumpers.
The "Nood" brand ended on May 28th, 2010, being replaced by the "Check It" brand the next day.
Below are the bumpers known to exist as well as their lost or found status.
