In October 2012, Cartoon Planet celebrated Cartoon Network's 20th birthday, and released a special two-minute song sung by Brak.
Starting on April 12, 2013, the block began airing YTV and/or Teletoon and Warner Bros. Animation programming, in which the first were Scaredy Squirrel, Almost Naked Animals and Tom and Jerry Tales, breaking the show's tradition of only airing Cartoon Network original programming.
