It was planned to launch a new block, as part of the programming consisting four to eight shows for 30-minute episodes and aimed at marking the first time that exclusively animated cartoons for different youth audiences.^[4]^[5]^[6]

The first children's block, "Mi Tele" ("My TV"), a two-hour animation block on weekday mornings featuring a mix of imported Spanish-language cartoons such as Fantaghiro and El Nuevo Mundo de los Gnomos ("The New World of the Gnomes"), as well as the originally produced in English as the Zodiac Entertainment cartoon series, Mr. Bogus and the Nelvana cartoon series, Anatole debuted on January 15, 2002.^[1]^[7] Later on March 15, 2002, the Mi Tele originally cartoon block ended. The following week on Monday, the featuring with the youth-targeted children's telenovelas (Carrusel, Luz Clarita, Gotita de Amor and Rayito de Luz) airs on the block beginning on March 18, 2002, as part of the update scheduled programming.^[8]^[9]

Though the block was intended to air on weekday mornings on the holidays some of the years. However, some of the youth-targeted novelas aired on Mi Tele block weekday morning or Toonturama weekend morning cartoon block will delayed in order next week and full schedule on Sunday due to the network will picking line-up with all of the holidays and family movies marathon with the attempt of animated movies by Warner Bros.

On December 24, 2002, Telefutura Network acquired the rights to the popular Warner Bros. Animation television cartoon series, Animaniacs, and it was partly for this reason why some of Telefutura's most popular programs (most notably Animaniacs) were mainly not included as part of the "Mi Tele" or "Toonturama" block, especially during the more open-formatted cartoon block era. However, Telefutura was planned to added in the feature-length direct-to-video movie as the Spanish-dubbed language including Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish, aired on the holiday movie briefly on December 24, 2002, to September 5, 2005, instead.^[11]

The introduced a new logo with font text (Rat Fink Heavy) with different colors (red and black with the extruded font, and white text for "Toonturama") alongside bumpers and promos with the CGI computer-animated and controlled by TelevisaUnivision USA (formerly Univision Communications; same as the block was launched as "Planeta U" on September 15, 2001, which is designer along with the 3D computer-animated with bumpers and promos on Univision), where was tasked with overhauling Univision, Telefutura and Galavisión's Saturday and Sunday morning lineup in order to compete against the arch-rival network, Telemundo weekend children's block, "Telemundo Kids".

The block included a four-hour lineup that consisted mainly of dubbed versions of American, Canadian, and European animated series. The network opted to fully program the block with shows acquired from various programming production companies and distributors. After the network premiered on January 14, 2002, in the next day, Telefutura entered into a programming three-year agreement with the Canada-based animated studio Nelvana (owned by Corus Entertainment) to program the "Mi Tele" and "Toonturama" block for the first US network deal with the Spanish-dubbed aired on the block has originally produced in English including Anatole, Ned's Newt, Stickin' Around, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Mythic Warriors, Tales from the Cryptkeeper and The Dumb Bunnies, as well as the Japanese anime series (such as Lost Universe, Tenchi Universe, and Red Baron) as part of its inaugural lineup.^[1]

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and Tales from the Cryptkeeper, was the only exception that two cartoons series are previously aired with the original English predecessor premiered on September 18, 1993, from the both networks, CBS and ABC's children block on Saturday morning cartoons. On February 8, 2002, Telefutura began discussions and partnership with the Madrid-based animation studio BRB Internacional to have the company program a daily two-hour children's block for the network, segment line-up scheduled from the series featured in the block produced in Spain (such as "Super Models" and "Yolanda: Daughter of the Black Corsair").^[1]^[12]^[13] Later in 11 days, Telefutura will be including the changing time zone on the program scheduled from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Eastern/Pacific Time Zone in update, including the three former Mi Tele cartoon shows were moved to Toonturama including The New World of the Gnomes, Mr. Bogus and Anatole (after week on the first block, Mi Tele with cartoon were ended in March 15) will be offer date premiered on March 23, 2002, until December 29, 2002.^[8]

On February 25, 2002, Telefutura acquired the rights to Zodiac Entertainment (via Carlton; which is previously cartoons are executive production in the UK), was the new block featured several first-run dubbed versions of original series from production by Zodiac and Calico (owned by World Events Productions, was the first-time previously aired on the originally Univision's block such as Voltron: Defender of the Universe and Denver, the Last Dinosaur), during the addition of the cartoon series and featured archived content from the programming library such as Mr. Bogus and Widget the World Watcher. Both cartoon programs originally ran on the network until 2003.^[14] On October 6, 2002, Telefutura was completely removed from the Madrid-based BRB Internacional's two cartoon series such as "The New World of the Gnomes" and "Super Models", ahead of the expiry of Telefutura's program supply deal with BRB Internacional for the passed ten-months, due to sale was brokered by Miami's Venevision International (now Cisneros Media).

In January 2003, Telefutura acquired the rights and plans to contract with North Hollywood-based Film Roman, and added its first time in nearly two-years of the former Univision children's cartoon program as part of the block, "¡De Cabeza!" three cartoon shows. Univision subsequently moved forward to produce a Saturday and Sunday morning cartoon block, Toonturama (the network previously aired the three Film Roman-produced series from 2000 to 2001), for Univision's sister-network, Telefutura, which would premiere a two years afterward. Featuring based on Felix the Cat characters from the popular television animated series, The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat.

Toad Patrol was originally aired and it was almost exclusively carried for the animated series as it ran from September 6, 2003, to March 11, 2012.^[16]

As of January 8, 2005, Telefutura removed from the Canada-based Nelvana shows (including "Ned's Newt", "The Dumb Bunnies" and Tales from the Cryptkeeper"), due to the network changing the schedule listing update to being dropped from the lineup block.

As a result, Telefutura discontinued airing animated programming, making it the network not to air cartoon series within its children's program lineup.
