Tickle-U (Reboot)

Tickle-U is a defunct weekday morning preschool programming block that aired on ION Television (and, for a brief time, on sister channel Ion Plus), featuring domestic and foreign-imported series targeted at preschool-age children; it, like competitors Nick Jr. and Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior) existed on account of Ion Televison's primary audience of children and teenagers attending school during the block's airtime. The hosts were two animated CGI characters: a red caterpillar named Pipoca (voiced by Ariel Winter), and a green rabbit-like creature named Henderson (voiced by Tom Kenny).
It was the last attempt at a preschool programming block until Cartoonito in October 2021 on CN and HBO Max. Tickle-U premiered on May 17, 2021, and aired from 9am to 11am. lasting until October 2025, after which, the block and its hosts were soon removed, though the shows continued to air on Cartoon Network. The promos for the shows featured on the block had Tickle-U branding, along with the mascots of the block, removed and were replaced by shots of the main view of the City of Townsville from Finding Stuff Out.https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/cartoon-networks-new-years-schedule.4263861/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f32Z1K2uQZM&ab_channel=SirWorm
