After cruelly pulling the plug on Batgirl and the animated feature Scoob!: Holiday Haunt, Warner Bros. Discovery is removing several beloved animated series from HBO Max.  OK K.O! Let’s Be Heroes, Close Enough, Infinity Train, Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Uncle Grandpa, The Fungies, and Summer Camp Island are among the titles that have been discarded without warning. The mass removals are the result of the Warner Bros. merger with Discovery and new CEO David Zaslav, who is consolidating both studios, resulting in cancelled series, massive layoffs, and a confusing future for HBO Max content. And while it’s disappointing for fans, it’s devastating for the series creators and animators who have spent their blood, sweat, and tears on these projects over the years.

Infinity Train creator Owen Dennis responded to the situation via his blog  “Owen Dennis’s Infinite Train of Thought” , where he discussed how the abrupt removal affects the artists and creators of these series. He notes that none of the creators or showrunners were warned that their series were getting kicked off the platform. He wrote, “The announcement on Wednesday of Infinity Train, OKKO, Summer Camp Island, The Fungies and many other shows being taken off of HBOMax was a shock to all of us. Not just to fans, but to the creators and artists that made the shows as well. I had no idea it was coming, neither did any other show creator I’ve talked with, nor any of their representatives.”
