CN/Tropes

A franchise by Cartoon Network Studios centered on the many shows it's produced over the years.
This is pretty much a meta-franchise with all the Cartoon Network characters (minus the acquired programming and Hanna-Barbera characters) all in one place. The CN Movie, centered around Chowder, Flapjack and Finn, was the rise of bringing the studio back in the film industry game.
After the movie, the franchise spawns a spin-off series, titled The CN Show. After the series, there came a Halloween Special called CN Halloween.
Franchise:
* The CN Movie (2021)
* The CN Show (2022-2023)
* CN Halloween (2024)
Tropes related to the franchise:
* Acrofatic: Played straight with most characters as their respective shows are known for breaking the laws of physics. Subverted/Averted with characters from shows that don't break the laws of physics, such as Sadie.
* Action Girl: CJ and Yumi are both laid-back, but they're pretty badass.
* Adapational Jerkass:
** Flapjack's danger-hungry, a powerhouse, and a little short-tempered. But he's not without his nice guy.
** Panini's tendencies in her Stalker with a Crush role from Chowder remains and she definitely has no hesitation in hurting anyone who gets in her way, especially Finn and Flapjack.
* Adaptational Nice Guy:
** Bloo's back to his old character roots before the post-House of Bloos events in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Yet, his nice guy role is pretty similar to Mac's.
** Sally Syrup returns in this franchise after her last appearance in The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, she was revealed to be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. Here, she's pretty much on a level of nice to how Flapjack is in his show.
** Princess Bubblegum receives this treatment after her infamous change in personality. She's seen as the level-headed.
** Jeff's much like how he was post-Flanderization in his show.
* Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Since it's a world with Animated Actors, this was bound to happen.
** Finn and Bonnibel have been dating at the start regardless of the Ship Sinking between them in the Adventure Time episode "Burning Low".
** Pearl and Greg hooked up after the Steven Universe episode "Mr. Greg".
* Adapted Out: Shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy, Cow and Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, I Am Weasel, Mike, Lu & Og, including any of the shows produced by Warner Bros. Animation (Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo), DC Entertainment (Teen Titans Go!), and The LEGO Group (Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu) are all absent from this series due to the franchise only centering around shows produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
* Ascended Extra: There are many characters with supporting/minor roles in their own shows that receive this treatment.
* Beta Couple: Finn and Bonnibel.
* Beware the Nice Ones: Finn.
* Children Are Innocent:
** Chowder, Finn, Sally, Jeff, and Mac.
** Averted with Flapjack and Panini.
* Deadpan Snarker:
** Flapjack, whenever he gets the chance.
** CJ's got some sarcasm up her sleeves as well.
* Genre Savvy: Chowder, due to being aware of the Fourth Wall on his own show.
* Getting Crap Past the Radar: Like most Cartoon Network franchise, this is no exception.
* The Grinch: Flapjack in The CN Show episode "Christmas Eve".
* Horseback Heroism: Parodied with the main trio.
* Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Flapjack's revealed to be an inch taller than Sally off-set. This trope is still inverted between Finn and Bonnibel.
* Incredibly Lame Pun: Any character that's comedy-minded.
* Large Ham: If this franchise is not a World of Ham.
** Flapjack's can yell from the top of his lunges.
* Mythology Gag: This wasn't the first time Cartoon Network had its characters in a real world setting, as they'd appeared in Hoopshots commercials (i.e. characters from The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog and Ed, Edd n Eddy).
* Roger Rabbit Effect: Following the way Looney Tunes went with this technique in its own theatrical films.
