Warner Bros. Cartoon Universe — Parents Portal

Warner Bros.' online MMORPG 'Cartoon Universe' had a parents' portal that needed a full redesign and rebuild. Working at Trailer Park, I was part of the team that rebuilt the portal from the ground up — handling the front-end and back-end integration work connecting the new UI to the game's underlying SOAP-based API layer.

Title

Front-End / Full-Stack Developer

Context

Trailer Park team working directly with Warner Bros. on the Cartoon Universe game portal.

Scope

Front-end rebuild, Drupal customization, Zend PHP integration, and SOAP API connectivity.

Parents of kids playing Warner Bros.' Cartoon Universe MMORPG needed a modern portal for account management and game-linked actions — the existing parents' portal was outdated and hard to maintain.

• Parents' portal rebuild

  Problem

  The parents' portal was outdated and needed a full visual and structural rebuild.

  Fix

  Redesigned and rebuilt the front end from the ground up.

  Result

  Parents got a new portal UI instead of a patched legacy page.

• Drupal CMS

  Problem

  Portal content needed a CMS layer the team could actually manage.

  Fix

  Drupal customization for portal content.

  Result

  Content could be managed without a full engineering cycle.

• Zend PHP application tier

  Problem

  The application tier needed a framework between the CMS and APIs.

  Fix

  Zend PHP framework integration.

  Result

  Server-side logic had a structured home in the rebuild.

• SOAP API integration

  Problem

  The portal had to talk to the game backend, which was SOAP.

  Fix

  SOAP API integration to the Cartoon Universe game backend.

  Result

  Parents' portal actions could reach the live game systems.

Rebuilt parents' portal shipped — Drupal and Zend tiers connected to the game's SOAP backend. No usage metric claimed.
