The CN Movie/Tropes

The CN Movie is a 2021 live-action/animated film, based on the Cartoon Network network. This serves as another film with hand-drawn animated characters in a live-actionsetting. And surprisingly enough, it's produced by Warner Bros., making it the third traditional animation/live-action hybrid after Space Jam and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. The movie depicts the network's characters as actors that interact with each other outside their universes.

After eight long years, Finn decides to reunite with his old friends Chowder and Flapjack. After a good reunion, Finn suggests on getting the two a movie to bring them back to the public. Now, they have to save the Cartoon Network studio after blindingly signing away the rights to a Warner Bros. studio exec. Jeremy Shada voices Finn, Thurop Van Orman (director of the film) voices Flapjack, and Raymond Ochoa voices Chowder; with B.D. Wong as WB executive Dan Manson, Tina Fey as receptionist Sandra Alexander, and Zachary Levi as Manson's assistant Andrew Neilly.

This film is meant to re-introduce the old Cartoon Network shows that have been taken off the air, concluded happily, or just been ignored by the studio.

The CN Movie contains examples of:

 * Actor Allusion:
 * During the flashback prologue, Clarence has a few ideas with his revival idea as his show reaches cancellation. Clarence: How about this? An episode where Jeff gets casted for a show taking place in the '80s? Jeff: Clarence. Clarence: [sadly] I know.
 * One scene has Flapjack speaking in a southern accent, as well as saying "Lil 'ol me" in another scene.
 * The epilogue has Ami talking to Madame Foster in the background. Does it ring any bell that their voice actresses have been on a show together?
 * Adaptational Badass: Flapjack. As much as he's a soft cream puff in-universe, he's a little short-tempered, roughhouse-interested boy who pretends to be stupid for appearances out-of-universe.
 * Advertised Extra: Any one of the Cartoon Network characters you can name. In the actual movie, they just have supporting roles and minor roles.
 * Animated Actors: From seeing the Crystal Gems (other than Amethyst) eating, to CJ and Margaret as friends, to some dumb characters actually smart, or maybe selfish characters are actually kind off-set, they're a good qualification. Although some of them retain their perks.
 * Butt-Monkey: Andrew Neilly. Being Manson's assistant, he's his right-hand man, but he barely gets any respect from him and just takes him for granted. At the climax, Neilly helps the boys to save the studio after Manson's intentions were too ambitious.
