5 animated shows to stream on HBO Max after the cancellations sweep

HBO Max will be dropping even more titles this week, specifically a large portion of their animated content.

Previously, HBO Max was primed to be an animation haven which has caused creators in the animation industry to take notice as the streamer has quietly taken down their work from the platform. This shift in content strategy signals the start of an already-proposed merger between HBO Max and Discovery+ in which the upcoming streamer will focus on pushing out unscripted and adult content to its subscribers.

With this business decision comes consequence as  animation-loving subscribers in both the kids and adult space are left not knowing exactly when their favorite show might not be available to watch anymore.

Be sure to check out these five animated shows stream before the HBO Max and Discovery+ merger.
