TELETOON encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the contests, games and interactive activities offered on our site.

TELETOON ON TELEVISION

TELETOON is Canada's first and only specialty channel totally dedicated to the wonderful world of animation, 24 hours a day. With English and French language services, the network offers cartoons and other forms of animation, from Canada and around the planet, for audiences of all ages.

TELETOON is for everybody. But some time slots definitely cater to kids, so TELETOON will ensure that there are 12 hours each weekday of programming suitable for unsupervised viewing. During this time, the violence is kept out of the programming to help offer children a more wholesome world view. As well, the Pre-School block will be commercial-free.

See What's Hot For Your Little Tot!
Early morning to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday
TELETOON's perfect for litle rascals with big imaginations. With so many exciting cartoons like The Adventures of Paddington Bear and The Magic School Bus, tiny tots can explore adventures they never dreamed possible!

The Big Draw
From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Cartoons are the big draw for school-aged kids and TELETOON's got plenty to thrill them. There's action adventure, whimsy, comic strip characters and charming animals like those in The Addams Family, or Scooby Doo and Donkey Kong.

Family Entertainment That's Unreal!
From 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Animation is one of the few forms of programming that can truly appeal to all members of the family. Meet the animated Pippi Longstocking, and strange, out-of-this-world creatures in Space Goofs, or let the wacky duo of Ren & Stimpy entertain your evenings.

And for adults with big imaginations, starting at 9:30pm TELETOON also caters to more mature viewers. Check out some of the titles we have to offer.

TELETOON ONLINE

The TELETOON website was created to complement our television broadcasts. It provides a source of information - as well as creating interest - in animation.

Safety
Presenting a child-safe web site is important to TELETOON. Since animation fans range in age from 2 to 102 years, we created a web site to reflect such a wide ranging group. We have ensured that every page is safe for viewing regardless of age. Keep in mind that children can leave the site to surf elsewhere and therefore it is important for parents to take an active role in their children’s online computer use.

Web Site Maintenance
The TELETOON web site is maintained by our Web Department. The brief descriptions of each program are taken from information provided by each distributor.

Every page has been checked by TELETOON staff to ensure suitability for children of all ages.

Images
All of the images on the web site are protected by copyright, and we thank the animation companies and producers for permission to use them. We have ensured that the web site contains no image of a sexual, violent or offensive nature. Please see our copyright page for more information.

MISSION STATEMENT

Imagine This!
You are invited into a world where anything goes. A world where you can pull a rabbit out of thin air; dinosaurs can talk; fairies and hairy monsters and intergalactic warriors reign supreme! That world is TELETOON, Canada's first and only specialty channel totally dedicated to the wonderful world of animation, 24 hours a day. With English and French language services, the network offers cartoons and other forms of animation, from Canada and around the planet, for audiences of all ages.

It's New!
Entering only our third season, TELETOON will provide Canadians with lots of fresh new programming. In fact, over 50% of our programming will be new to Canadian telelvision. And, by combining top-notch new shows like Mega Babies, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and Ned's Newt with the ever popular classics like Scooby Doo, The Simpsons, and Voltron: The Third Dimension - TELETOON will have a schedule that's second to none.

It's Canadian!
Canada is world-renowned for its expertise in animation and TELETOON will help create and showcase more top-notch programs from this country's acclaimed animation producers than ever before. Starting from a sizable 40% in Canadian content in the first year, the figure will grow to 60% by year 2002. TELETOON will spend over 5 million dollars on Canadian production in 1998-1999, and each year after that, 40% of the previous year's revenue will go to support Canada's renowned animation production industy.

TELETOON will draw upon the strengths of the French and English markets, while catering to the individual needs of both. The French-language signal is available everywhere in Canada in Eastern Time, as well as two English language feeds, one in Pacific and one in Eastern Time.
