Teaser for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. The CGI Turtles don't look as bad animated as they do in stills, but the facial expressions look a little odd.

Cartoon Network got a head-start on its upfronts this year. Instead of holding a big party for their advertisers like networks usually do, they're actually bringing the party to their advertisers. Here's what they're announcing (besides the aforementioned cancellations):

Cartoon Network posted:

CARTOON NETWORK NEW SERIES

Incredible Crew: Incredible Crew, is a live-action, half-hour, sketch comedy series from producer and entertainer Nick Cannon.

Beware the Batman: A cool, new take on the classic Dark Knight franchise, Beware the Batman incorporates Batman�s core characters with a rogue gallery of new villains not previously seen in animated form.

Grojband: 12-year-old Corey is the front man for a rockin� garage band. There�s just one problem: Corey�s lyrics stink.

The Tom and Jerry Show: The iconic cat and mouse rivals are back in The Tom and Jerry Show, a fresh take on the classic series.

Total Drama All Stars: Total Drama is back, but this time the team at Fresh TV have assembled the best loved and most hated contestants from seasons past to compete � Heroes vs. Villains style! Total Drama Island is produced by Fresh TV and distributed by CAKE Distribution.

SPECIALS AND MOVIES

Adventure Time Special: Highly-regarded comedic actors Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Donald Glover (Community) will be featured in a special episode of Cartoon Network�s hit animated series Adventure Time. The episode, �Bad Little Boy,� is slated to premiere February 18 as part of the series� fifth and current season. Reprising his role as Prince Gumball from season three�s much-loved gender switch episode �Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake,� Neil Patrick Harriswill join Donald Glover, as Marshall Lee, the musical male counterpart to fan favorite Marceline the Vampire Queen in this second installment of the Fionna and Cake (derived from Finn and Jake) saga. In this special episode, the princesses are sick and tired of Ice King�s crazy Fionna and Cake stories, so Marceline stops by the Ice Kingdom to show him how it�s done.

Regular Show Special: Regular Show, Cartoon Network�s Emmy� Award-winning animated comedy featuring best friends Mordecai, a six-foot-tall blue jay and Rigby, a hyperactive raccoon, is slated for a 30-minute Thanksgiving special, Regular Show style. Mordecai and Rigby accidentally ruin Thanksgiving and must find a way to save it before their families arrive for dinner. The gang pulls together to help make it the best Thanksgiving ever! Regular Show, currently in its� fourth season, has become an instant hit continually ranking #1 in its time period among all key boy demos across all of television according to Nielsen Media Research.

The Powerpuff Girls Special: �Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice�plus a dash of mysterious Chemical X� were the essential ingredients that created Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup�also known as The Powerpuff Girls. This groundbreaking and Emmy�-winning series, created by Craig McCracken, ran on Cartoon Network from 1998-2005 and will soar again as a brand-new, redesigned and re-imagined CG special coming in 2013 where the trio of pint-sized super heroines will be called upon to rescue not just the city of Townsville, but the USA and the world! Featuring an original song �I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl� performed by Beatles legend Ringo Starr, who also portrays Townsville�s most famous flamboyant mathematician, �Fibonacci Sequins,� this all-new original special comes from a powerhouse creative team featuring animation talent from around the globe including acclaimed director Dave Smith and award-winning art director Kevin Dart and is produced by Cartoon Network Studios in association with UK�s Passion Pictures. The special also features the original voice cast reprising their iconic roles and will premiere later this year.

The Yoda Chronicles: LEGO Star Wars returns in epic style with THE YODA CHRONICLES, a thrilling, funny and action-packed new LEGO Star Wars story told in three animated TV specials! Set in the �Prequel� Star Wars timeline, THE YODA CHRONICLES stars the one and only Yoda�the Jedi Master who has seen it all, done it all, and taught generations of Jedi Knights�in an all-new adventure. With the help of a fresh class of Padawans, Yoda leads the Jedi in a desperate fight to stop Darth Sidious and his minions from creating a new super-weapon that could crush the Republic and win the war for the forces of Evil.

The Yoda Chronicles is the next in the series of LEGO Star Wars specials from Michael Price, which previously featured The Padawan Menace and The Empire Strikes Out. Apparently, neither Craig McCracken nor Lauren Faust are involved with the new Powerpuff Girls special, which isn't surprising given as they're doing a series for Disney now.

Here's a poster for Steven Universe (Rebecca Sugar is from Adventure Time- she wrote most of the original songs- so it's not surprising that it has a similar look) and a photo that may or may not be how the Powerpuff Girls will look in the new special, but it seems probable since it is very much in Kevin Dart's style (although I'm also getting a bit of a Mary Blair "It's a Small World" vibe off of it as well):

Upon reading up on the Linda Ellerbee IGN thing (combined with the fact that she even put a shoutout to them in an episode about, appropriately, cyberbullying as proof it was really her), I too am part of the "Linda Ellerbee is awesome" camp. Especially when she wrote stuff like this:

Linda Ellerbee posted:

Now, as for the recent thread entitled "Linda Ellerbee sure is a fat, disgusting skanky ho," I want to point out that you are a bully. Also, you have an unfair advantage, as you know what I look like, whereas I've no idea what you, who hide your hurtful words behind little postage stamp characters and funny names, look like. But never mind. You're young. Maybe you'll grow some human kindness. Or at least some more brains. I am overweight, true. Am I disgusting? A judgment call. Same with skanky. HO, I am not, unless you consider all writers to be HOs. Still, it has the feel of calling someone a poo-poo head. My four-year-old grandson does that. I suspect you have much in common.

As for calling me an "old bitch" and thinking it's an insult...well, wrong. "Old," my dear, is what you get to be if you're lucky. And "bitch" does not strike me as an insult either. In my case, it is certainly true.

mobo85: Apr 21, 2007; I've just insulted the macaroni and cheese recipe of a whale! What part of that is not evil?

The new shows coming out of the kid cable pipeline really seem to be of the "creator-driven series where the creator is a young CalArts graduate" variety. Pen Ward, J.G. Quintel, and Alex Hirsch all fit that description, and now we can add another. It's nice to see new cartoons with female creators, and this sounds like it can be a fun action/comedy mix if done right.

Disney Channel posted:

Disney Channel has ordered �Star and the Forces of Evil� (working title), an animated comedy adventure about a fun-loving magical teen princess from another dimension who � after a few bold skirmishes with other-worldly monsters � is sent by her Royal Parents to live with the Diaz family on Earth. Eden Sher (ABC�s �The Middle�) provides the voice of the lead character, Star Butterfly. Production has begun for a scheduled Fall 2014 premiere. The announcement was made today by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation.

Artist and writer Daron Nefcy is the series creator and co-executive producer. She is a 2009 California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) graduate whose work has been showcased throughout the Los Angeles underground art community. Her television credits include recent work on Disney Channel�s upcoming animated series, �Wander Over Yonder,� and the Warner Bros. animated series �MAD.� Emmy and Annie Award-winning director Dave Wasson (�The Buzz on Maggie,� �Making Fiends�) is co-executive producer and director, and Annie Award-winning writer Jordana Arkin (�Melissa and Joey,� �Will & Grace�) is co-executive producer and story editor.

Coleman said: �Disney continues to focus on discovering fresh voices in animation. When Daron pitched her show, we fell in love with her characters, her style and her sensibility. And with the deep talent and experience of Dave Wasson and Jordana Arkin, this show furthers our commitment to create great new stories for kids and families.�

�Star and the Forces of Evil� tells the stories of other-worldly teen princess Star Butterfly, who must settle in to her new Earthly home with the Diaz family. Soon she takes their teenage son, Marco, on adventures to help her battle evil villains, whether throughout the universe or in their high school, all in an effort to protect her powerful magic wand� which Star still figuring out how to use.

You are indeed correct and I apologize. I was thinking of the fact that many modern cartoon creators right now are either young or CalArts graduates. I knew off the top of my head that Hirsch was, and after discovering that Quintel and Ward also fit both qualifiers, I mistakenly lumped Sugar in there as well. (Get it? Sugar? Lumped? That's a joke, son!)

Starring are Ross Lynch (�Austin & Ally� and Hollywood Records� R5) and Maia Mitchell (ABC Family�s upcoming �The Fosters�) as Brady and McKenzie, surfers who ride the last wave of summer, one that mysteriously takes them into a classic beach party movie, Wet Side Story. There, it�s surfers versus bikers for control of the beach hangout�and everyone spontaneously breaks into song and dance. Brady and McKenzie must try to return to present day, but their lives may be changed forever when they inadvertently alter the movie�s romantic storyline � and the movie�s handsome surf guy Tanner is now falling for McKenzie while biker girl Lela swoons for Brady. Also starring are: Grace Phipps (�The Nine Lives of Chloe King�), Garrett Clayton, John DeLuca, Chrissie Fit (�General Hospital�), Kevin Chamberlin (�Jessie�) and Steve Valentine (�Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie�). The movie was directed by Jeffrey Hornaday (Disney Channel�s �Geek Charming,� choreographer of �A Chorus Line,� �Flashdance�) who also choreographed with Chris Scott (�Lemonade Mouth,� �Step Up 4″). David Buelow (�Bring It On: Fight to the Finish�) is the executive producer and Robert F. Phillips (�Teen Spirit,� �Valkyrie�) is the producer.

�Cloud 9″ � multi-talented Ashley Tisdale and snowboarding superstar Shaun White are the executive producers of this Disney Channel Original Movie, an exhilarating story set in the world of competitive snowboarding. Starring Luke Benward (�Girl Vs. Monster�) and newcomer Dove Cameron (who also stars in an upcoming Disney Channel series �Liv & Maddie� � working title), the movie is scheduled to premiere next winter on Disney Channel. �Cloud 9″ is directed by three-time DGA Award winner Paul Hoen (�Let It Shine,� �Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,�). In addition to White and Tisdale, the movie is executive-produced by Jessica Rhoades (�Under Construction,� �Beauty & the Briefcase�) and Kirkland Tibbels.

�Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel� � the highly-anticipated animated adventure that assembles characters from two hugely popular Disney and Marvel franchises, �Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel,� premieres this summer on Disney Channel and Disney XD. Marking the first crossover animated special for Marvel and Disney properties, the epic television event will follow Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk as they enter Danville after Dr. Doofenshmirtz�s latest �inator� scheme accidentally removes their powers and immobilizes them. Now it�s up to Phineas and Ferb to team up with the Marvel Super Heroes to help them regain their powers and defeat Marvel Super Villains � Red Skull, Whiplash, Venom and M.O.D.O.K. � who are working together with Dr. Doofenshmirtz to use his power-draining technology to create mayhem. �Phineas and Ferb� creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff �Swampy� Marsh designed Marvel�s Super Heroes and Super Villains including Red Skull, Whiplash, Venom and M.O.D.O.K. to fit the Danville world of the Emmy Award-winning series. It is a production of Disney Television Animation.

�Wander Over Yonder� � premiering in summer 2013, this animated comedy, created, directed and executive-produced by Emmy-winning producer Craig McCracken (�The Powerpuff Girls�, �Foster�s Home For Imaginary Friends�), is about best friends and epic enemies, set in surreal places across the universe. Wander is an overly-optimistic intergalactic traveler who, along with his loyal but bullish steed Sylvia, goes from planet to planet helping people to live free and have fun, all against the evil reign of Lord Hater and his army of Watchdogs. The voice cast includes Jack McBrayer (�30 Rock,� �Phineas and Ferb�), Keith Ferguson (�Foster�s Home for Imaginary Friends�) and Tom Kenny (�SpongeBob SquarePants�). �Wander Over Yonder� is a production of Disney Television Animation.

�Mickey Mouse� � The endearing, adventurous and comedic antics of Mickey Mouse, Disney�s #1 star and the world�s leading character franchise, will be presented in a new short-form series of 2D comedy cartoons. This new series of 19 cartoon shorts will begin rolling out FRIDAY, JUNE 28 on Disney Channel, Disney.com and WATCH Disney Channel, among other platforms. While the direction and pacing of the new �Mickey Mouse� cartoon shorts are fresh and contemporary, they are at the same time homage to the art direction and storytelling of Walt and his animators in the 1920s and �30s.

Geared towards kids age 6-14 and families, and produced in 2D animation, the design esthetic for the �Mickey Mouse� cartoon shorts reaches back almost 80 years and borrows reverentially from the bold style of his 1930s design, but not before adding a few contemporary touches. Designs for other characters have a similar approach, favoring a �rubber-hose� cartoon style for more exaggerated animation. Background designs closely reflect the graphic design sense of 1950s and 1960s Disney cartoons. For those true eagle-eyed Disney fans, the production team has also included the occasional homage to other icons from the storied Disney heritage. Stories in the upcoming cartoon shorts include: �Yodelberg� � Mickey longs to visit Minnie atop her mountaintop chalet but quickly realizes that the threat of avalanche has made the trek up the mountain more challenging than usual. In �No Service,� Mickey and Donald try to buy lunch from a beachside snack shack but are unceremoniously turned down because of the classic �No shirt, no shoes, no service� admonition (of course, Mickey doesn�t wear a shirt and Donald doesn�t wear shoes!).

Emmy Award-winning artist and director Paul Rudish (�Dexter�s Laboratory,� �The Powerpuff Girls�) is the executive producer and director. Aaron Springer (�SpongeBob SquarePants, �Gravity Falls�) and Clay Morrow (�Dexter�s Laboratory,� �The Powerpuff Girls�) are directors, and Joseph Holt (�The Powerpuff Girls�) is the art director. The series is produced under the supervision of senior vice presidents Eric Coleman and Lisa Salamone at Walt Disney Television Animation (TVA).

Standing in their way are two laughably evil villains, Grim and Hildy Gloom, who plot to take over the kingdom by stealing the magical jewels in the 7D�s mine. With seven very distinct personalities, the 7D always manage to save the day and send Grim and Hildy running back to their evil lair to try another day. The executive producer is Tom Ruegger.

Since Namco using animation to promote its properties was brought up, mention should be made of their ShiftyLook initiative, which features a number of interesting web comics based on some of their more obscure properties. ShiftyLook recently launched a web series based on their Bravoman comic which is of surprisingly good quality for a webtoon. Although of course not a animated TV series on a kids cable network, I think it's worth mentioning both as a addition to the Namco promotional derail and the fact that it wouldn't be out of place in terms of humor and style on Kids WB in the late '90s. (The fact that Rob Paulsen does most of the voices helps with that.) Here is an amusingly relative sample.

Pretty interesting news. Are they the first of the Nick/Cartoon Network/Disney trifecta to have a gay couple appear in any capacity?

This is probably the first fictional representation. As the article points out, Disney had a real gay couple make a brief appearance in an interstitial about a real-life boy and his love of filmmaking. When introducing himself, the boy quickly introduces his life and "my moms". Much like the aforementioned Postcards from Buster situation that had the Department of Education involved (and, I assume, the upcoming Good Luck Charlie episode), it was very brief and had no mention of the words "gay" or "lesbian", but fueled strong commentary from both sides of the debate, with the gay rights movement calling it a step forward for representation and the opposing side, as usual, blaming the gay agenda or what have you.

Well, this was inevitable...and by "inevitable", of course, I mean completely evitable. The Marvel crossover looks hilarious, though, and knowing the usual output of the show (and all the sci-fi pastiches they've done in the past) I'm expecting this will be just as interesting.

quote:

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away -- in summer -- Phineas and Ferb are living happily on Tatooine, just one moisture farm over from Luke Skywalker. They love simply hanging out and creating new adventures under the twin suns, however, they find themselves thrust into a global rebellion when the plans for blowing up the Death Star accidentally fall into their hands.

Now that fate has suddenly pulled them into the fight for freedom, they must go in search of a pilot who can take them to the Rebels so they can hand over the plans. Complicating matters, Candace -- the boys' sister -- has a Stormtrooper-like intent on "busting rebels" who chase Phineas and Ferb across the galaxy in hopes of retrieving the Death Star plans.

Meanwhile, back on the Death Star, Dr. Darth Enshmirtz, a low level Darth, has created a Force-powered "Sith-inator" that he plans to use against the Rebel Alliance. Agent P, working undercover for the Rebellion, is dispatched to stop him, but quickly gets trapped in carbonite. Then, things take a startling turn when Ferb is accidentally hit by the full blast of Dr. Darth Enschmirtz's "inator" and becomes...an evil Sith.

It looks like it's going to be a "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" style thing where Phineas and Ferb's story is taking place in the background of A New Hope, which is actually a clever way to do it, in my opinion:

Even given the aforementioned departure of Stu Snyder, Cartoon Network seems like it's at least trying to innovate. They've announced a mobile network which will feature original 15-second programs, and today announced its upcoming slate. (It's upfront season, but of the major kid cable networks, only Nickelodeon is actually doing a real "upfront" - the rest are going directly to advertisers, a concept CN pioneered last year.) It's a mainly comedy-oriented lineup, but what's there - especially Wabbit and We Bare Bears (which was based on a webcomic) - looks like it could be fun.
