 in the United States and were animated by Primal Screen. The bumpers were used from launch to February 2005. During this time, Boomerang's programming (which consisted entirely of pre-1980s Hanna Barbera Animation) followed a looping format whereby 8 hours of cartoons were shown everyday between the hours of 12am and 8am, repeated between the hours of 8am and 4pm, and repeated once more between the hours of 4pm and 12am. The looping format was scrapped in February 2005.

2nd look

In February 2005, Boomerang's bumpers for the first time had an Australian voiceover, in addition to new Show-Specific We'll Be Back/Back to the Show bumpers. The previously used Station IDs with the toys were retained, although they were edited to include the Australian voiceover. Between November 2006 and June 2007, Boomerang gradually phased out numerous 1960s and 1970s Hanna Barbera cartoons, that were replaced with Cartoon Network original series (otherwise known as Cartoon Cartoons) which made up roughly half of Boomerang's lineup at the time.

3rd look

In November 2007, Boomerang was re-branded as "the home of greatest toons of all time" - as is mentioned in one promotional bumper - and no longer considered itself an outlet for classic cartoons. Boomerang introduced new 'storyboard-style' bumpers, which were animated by fwak animation, and a new logo. As the logo, bumpers and voice overs changed, much of the programming did too. All Cartoon Cartoons and classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon were axed, if not airing in the wee hours of the night. Since November 2007, several new series including pre-school, anime and live-action programs have been seen on Boomerang given Time Warner's acquisition of Australian broadcast rights to shows from numerous studios around the world. As a result, the Australian Boomerang schedule is significantly different from that of the original USA version. Some '60s and '70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons have returned to Boomerang for brief periods, initially airing most prominently on The Zoo and Boom, Boom, Boom before the former was axed and the latter was relaunched. Starting in September 2011, Boomerang has once again devoted a significant portion of its weekend schedule to these Hanna-Barbera programs, signalling somewhat of a return to its roots as a haven for classic animation.

Boomerang Theatre

Known as Retro Cinema until November 2006, Boomerang Theatre, as its title suggests, shows feature-length presentations which may be either animated or live-action. Before November 2006, Retro Cinema showed only movie-length cartoons from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and always aired at 5.30pm on Sunday Nights and would encore the following Saturday morning at 11am. After the name changed to Boomerang Theatre in November 2006, modern animated movies were starting to be shown and by the winter of 2008, live action movies were showing on Boomerang Theatre as well. During winter 2008, Boomerang Theatre's timeslot changed from the traditional Sunday night slot to weeknights at 4.30pm. This timeslot move resulted in many movies being repeated every day. However, the movies would repeat even more in the summer holidays of 2008-09 when Boomerang Theatre started airing twice every weekday; once in the late-morning and once in the late-afternoon. There have been many calls to revert the block to its original timeslot, but no action has been taken as yet.
