This guide will discuss Cartoon HD and how to use and install it. This app provides access to a wide range of movies and TV shows and can be installed on almost any device, e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, and PCs (via an emulator such as Bluestacks or Nox).
However, this app cannot be installed from the Google Play or Amazon App stores. To install it, it must be sideloaded.
The Amazon Firestick, a top contender in the streaming device market, is particularly popular for its affordability and the ease with which it can be jailbroken. With just a few straightforward adjustments, you can unlock its full potential, making it an attractive option for those looking to break free from traditional cable TV.
If Cartoon HD works on your device, let us know in the comments at the bottom of this page.

What is Cartoon HD?
Cartoon HD is a video-on-demand app that lets you stream the latest movies and TV shows for free. Moreover, it is based on the old Terrarium TV layout making it familiar to many users.
You can sideload Cartoon HD on almost any Android streaming device.
Integration with Real Debrid and Trakt is not supported.
How Does Cartoon HD Work?
Cartoon HD does not host any content. The app searches and scrapes free links from online databases and websites. If available, multiple links are scraped for streaming in either 360p, 720p or 1080p.
However, this app only provides a small number of links. The lack of Real Debrid integration does not help this.
To start streaming videos with Cartoon HD, MV CastPlayer must also be installed.
Is Cartoon HD Legal?
Yes. This app does not host any content and is essentially just a search engine. It is, therefore, 100% legal to install and use.
However, it is unlikely that most links scraped from databases and websites hold the proper licencing for distributing the content. In reality, this means you will be unlawfully streaming copyrighted content.
Doing so could get you into legal trouble. Accordingly, you may prefer to use this app with a VPN.
