Nood era

This article focuses on Cartoon Network's Nood Era.

In the past, Cartoon Network had short commercials that promoted various television shows, such as Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. These commercials feature Noods, small, peanut-shaped, human-like creatures that usually start off colorless, but can change color, normally representing main characters from Cartoon Network shows. Heather, Gwen, DJ, Chris, Harold, Cody, Trent, Chef, and the bear have all been created as Noods. Owen was seen as a blow-up Nood at a New York City convention, but was not on Cartoon Network commercials.

If balls of color hits a Nood, they turn into whatever color that ball of color was, or they change into a camper who wears that color. For example, a Nood that gets hit with a ball the color of Heather's shirt will turn into Heather, or a Nood that touches something blue will turn into the color blue.

This re-brand only lasted until February 2010, after which the older Nood commercials were replaced with new Nood commercials, before another re-brand in June 2010, featuring no Noods at all, ended the era and began a new one.
