Cartoon Network, often abbreviated as CN, is an American cable television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. It is a part of The Cartoon Network, Inc., a division that also has the broadcasting and production activities of Boomerang, Cartoonito, Discovery Family, Adult Swim, and Toonami under its purview. The channel is headquartered at 1050 Techwood Drive NW in Atlanta, Georgia.

Founded by Betty Cohen (who was also appointed by Ted Turner as the first president of the network), the channel was launched on October 1, 1992, and primarily broadcasts animated television series, mostly children's programming, ranging from action to animated comedy. It currently runs from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET/PT daily (the sign-off time varies with holidays and special programming). Cartoon Network primarily targets children aged 6 to 12, while its early morning block Cartoonito is aimed at preschool-aged children, and evening block Adult Swim targets older teenagers and young adults aged 18 to 34.

Cartoon Network offers an alternate Spanish-language audio feed, either via a separate channel with the English audio track removed as part of a package of Spanish-language television networks sold by subscription providers, or a separate audio track accessible through the SAP option, depending on the provider.

"Mortal Recoil" is the twenty-fifth episode of the second season of the American animated television series Adventure Time. The episode was written and storyboarded by Cole Sanchez and Jesse Moynihan, from a story by Mark Banker, Kent Osborne, Patrick McHale, and series creator Pendleton Ward. It originally aired on Cartoon Network on May 2, 2011. The episode guest stars Isabella Acres as young Princess Bubblegum and Kevin Michael Richardson as Lich-possessed Princess Bubblegum. After Bubblegum is seriously wounded and there is not enough candy bio-mass to save her, she reverts to a 13-year-old. "Mortal Recoil" was the second part of a two-part episode following "Mortal Folly"; this marked the first time an Adventure Time episode carried into another episode. The plot-threads concerning Princess Bubblegum's age were concluded with the third season episode "Too Young". This episode marked the first time that Acres would voice the younger version of Bubblegum; she would reprise her role one last time in "Too Young". The episode was watched by 1.92 million people and received largely positive critical attention; many critics enjoyed the way the episode began to set up the series' mythology.
