SDCC 2023: Tiny Toons Looniversity Releases Full Theme Song

SDCC 2023: Tiny Toons Looniversity Releases Full Theme Song

, , , , 8

Bruce Broughton’s Tiny Toons theme is a work of art, lively and infectious while managing to sound like something that would have played in an actual Looney Tunes short. It’s also one of the most heavily nostalgic melodies this reporter knows, having heard it hundreds of times during my youth. They didn’t mess with perfection for Tiny Toons Looniversity, the reboot coming later this year. You can now see the theme in its entirety thanks to an SDCC panel. That same panel actually played the first two episodes for its audience; I was not there, but someone writing for Gizmodo was privileged enough. “My favorite was the one that centers on Hamton having an identity crisis over going to med-school on deferred admission or staying with his friends—who because of Toon DNA are basically invincible and don’t need medical attention until a villain steps in with some reversal potion that spills into the Looniversity’s water source. The genius of that bonkers premise is executed shockingly with soft violence but hilarious,

Freakazoid Returns To TV In Special Teen Titans Go Episode

Freakazoid Returns To TV In Special Teen Titans Go Episode

, , , , 0

The WB and Amblin’s Freakazoid, from the same team behind Animaniacs, was not a ratings success when it ran for two seasons on the brand-new Kids WB block. But after the reruns began running on Cartoon Network it started attracting a cult following that grew larger every year — but it wasn’t enough to produce new episodes. Of course, lately WB and Amblin have been resurrecting their 90s hits with a new Animaniacs (coming to Hulu in just ten days) and a new Tiny Toons just announced for 2022. That’s got people wondering…why not Freakazoid as well? And we seemed to get a big hint that it might be possible. Late last year Paul Rugg, the voice of Freakazoid, made a cryptic post on social media where he stated that he just got to play a role “I never thought I’d get to play again.” He ended the post with “whooshes off,” referencing the way Freakazoid would pretend-fly around the city (as he couldn’t actually fly). Those who noticed the

Steven Universe Beach-A-Palooza Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Steven Universe Beach-A-Palooza Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Earlier this year Cryptozoic showed off its plans for 2020 at its Toy Fair booth in New York…and yes, it was possible to hold a public gathering like this in 2020, if only for the first two months. Things have changed since then, and so have the plans for some of the products. Steven Universe Beach-A-Palooza was one of the things shown off at Toy Fair — a card battling game for two to six players, set in the world of the hit cartoon. It was going to be a retail product, but Cryptozoic now figures it’d be better to aim at a platform where the majority of consumers buy online….Kickstarter. The game is now exclusive to the campaign, so this is your only chance! It’s a party at Beach City, but some corrupted Gems want to crash. Beat them back through the power of music, Steven style! in this card-drafting game, designed by Erica Bouyouris and Andrew Wolf, you won’t have to fight with your friends over who gets

If you haven’t heard, Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe is wrapping up. The last ten episodes of Steven Universe Future will be airing this month on the channel, and once they all appear, it’ll be the end of the series proper. As one of the biggest and most influential cartoon shows of the 2010s, with a fanbase that numbers in the millions, Steven deserves a bigger sendoff than being sandwiched in between TTG repeats…don’t you think? That’s why Fathom Events is partnering with CN to produce the Steven Universe The Movie Sing-A-Long Event. This epic music-filled adventure finds Steven thinking his time defending the Earth is over, but when a new threat comes to Beach City, he faces his biggest challenge yet. The adventure  is coming to movie theatres for the first time this spring. “Steven Universe” fans nationwide can join Steven, and his friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, for a musical night of fun with the “Steven Universe The Movie Sing-A-Long Event!” If you’ve already seen the movie and you

Adventure Time Revived As New Miniseries

Adventure Time Revived As New Miniseries

, , , , 0

Adventure Time seemed to be ending for good about a year ago. Cartoon Network never officially billed the last episode as the LAST episode, referring to it as “The Ultimate Adventure” instead, but given the seismic events and the wrap-up of everybody’s arcs, all signs pointed to the show bowing out. There was also the fact that it wasn’t in production anymore. Well…now it is! The beloved series has been unexpectedly revived in the form of a four-movie miniseries. Each episode will be an hour in length (without commercials) and focus on one Adventure Time character: BMO follows the lovable little robot from Adventure Time. When there’s a deadly space emergency in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, there’s only one hero to call, and it’s probably not BMO. Except that this time it is! Obsidian features Marceline & Princess Bubblegum as they journey to the imposing, beautiful Glass Kingdom—and deep into their tumultuous past—to prevent an earthshaking catastrophe. Wizard City follows Peppermint Butler, starting over at the beginning, as just another inexperienced

SDCC 2019: Infinity Train’s Infinity Trailer

SDCC 2019: Infinity Train’s Infinity Trailer

This is it, folks, this is the one you wanted — the official trailer for Infinity Train. For some reason CN let the site iO9 have it as an exclusive, rather than broadcast it to the world, but YouTube embeds anywhere. We were about to complain about the complete lack of promotion from CN on the channel itself, but then we heard the “AI, AI, AI” opening vocals from Ozzy’s “Crazy Train” scoring this trailer, and suddenly all was forgiven. We also learned today that Tulip’s last name is “Van Helsing.” Any relation to the famous vampire hunter, or what? Depends on if it’s that kind of show. It was only supposed to be a quick trip to Coding Camp in Wisconsin. But when young Tulip ends up boarding the wrong train, she becomes trapped within its cars — and the train seems to have no end. Fortunately she quickly meets two friends, one canine and one robotic, and they set off to solve the mystery of the Infinity Train,

Ian Jones-Quartey won’t tell anyone if the current season of OK KO is its last or not, but even if the end is approaching, the man sure knows how to pull an attention-grabbing, crowd-pleasing stunt. Last year’s Crossover Nexus reunited every single character in Cartoon Network history into one 11-minute short, and this time the show came to SDCC with an even bigger surprise. Rad and Enid are lounging around the bodega, as usual, while KO yells at them that they have to be alert because “you never know when a legendary hero might show up.” And then SONIC THE (BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP)ING HEDGEHOG bounces through the door, I kid you not! And Tails is with him! We get this incredible episode August 4. Cartoon Network released trailers today for events happening in their other shows, although nothing this year is more interesting than what just happened THERE. First off, we DO get a look at this mysterious “Fungies” show pegged for 2020: They didn’t seem so creepy anymore after I saw

Last week, a startling image started circulating around the Internet. It was Steven Universe….with a NECK. How can Steven Universe have a neck? What was the meaning of it? What abomination hath this world wrought? Turns out there was a simple explanation: the neck-y Steven was the character model from his upcoming movie, which, thanks to SDCC, we now know takes place two years after the last season finale of the show. Steven is now 16 years old, and Beach City has enjoyed two years of peace. This all comes to a literal crashing halt when a new villain comes down from outer space with a terrifying new weapon capable of extinguishing all life on Earth. The Crystal Gems have just hours to figure out how to stop it! The songs are one of the best things about Steven Universe, and the movie will have plenty of them. A massive list of musical artists was revealed at the end of the trailer, from series mainstays like Estelle to surprise guest

Cartoon Network Announces The Fungies

Cartoon Network Announces The Fungies

We’ve heard a lot about what’s coming to Cartoon Network later this year, but not much about what’s in store for next year. However, San Diego Comic-Con begins at the end of the week, and the network may reveal their 2020 lineup there. We know this much at least: they’ll be running a show about talking prehistoric fungi. That’s the premise of The Fungies, an upcoming series revealed today, created by Stephen Neary. According to the description, “The prehistoric comedy…will explore Fungietown through the whimsical quests of Seth, one of the town’s young mushroom inhabitants. In his search for the ultimate adventure, Seth often stirs up trouble for Fungietown’s colorful inhabitants, but as he comes up with solutions, he always finds a newfound emotional understanding.” We need a trailer to pass judgment on it….this doesn’t reveal much. There is also a promotional image, but it’s…kind of unsettling: Yeesh. If CN didn’t have such a good reputation these days, we’d be wary after seeing an image like this. The whole series

The wait has been interminable for those awaiting Infinity Train, the ambitious project from Cartoon Network that many feel could be their next Adventure Time-style breakout hit. We now know when we’ll finally get to see the first episodes, and it’ll happen before the summer is through. The first five will air weeknights at 7:30 on Cartoon Network, starting Monday, August 5. It was only supposed to be a quick trip to Coding Camp in Wisconsin. But when young Tulip ends up boarding the wrong train, she becomes trapped within its cars — and the train seems to have no end. Fortunately she quickly meets two friends, one canine and one robotic, and they set off to solve the mystery of the Infinity Train, and by doing so, find a way to get Tulip off it. In addition to the premiere news, CN also released this lovely new promotional artwork, and promised more information at SDCC. We can’t wait for August 5! Described as a wild adventure filled with puzzles

For the most part, you can count on Cartoon Network to deliver 11-minute bursts of animated comedy that resonate with adults as well as kids. Their latest, revealed today, already looks like a winner….Mao-Mao: Heroes Of Pure Heart. The titular Mao-Mao is the ferocious and trash-taking defender of the Pure Heart Valley. Flanking him on both sides are his sidekicks Badgerclops (the fat one) and Adorabat (the flying blue one). CN revealed over a minute of clips today, and we love this guy: So how soon do we get him? Sooner than you think. Eight episodes of Mao-Mao will premiere on the CN app June 28, followed by the show’s official rollout on the channel proper beginning July 1. CN also revealed both versions of the theme song, in the opening and closing credits: There was additional news from CN today regarding the fate of two of their shows that premiered last year: Summer Camp Island and Apple & Onion. They are both confirmed for second seasons, which is fortunate

Cartoon Network Arcade Launches Today

Cartoon Network Arcade Launches Today

Over the past few years Cartoon Network has aggressively chased the video game market, licensing out its characters for games on all machines when not outright making them themselves. Now they’ve introduced their most ambitious venture in that direction to date: Cartoon Network Arcade. It’s the one-stop destination for every CN-based app game going forward. One would assume the premise would allow CN to simply recycle the dozens of existing games starring their cartoon properties, but the network is going all-in by launching with fifteen new games — and more are on the way. The Amazing World of Gumball – Gumball’s Block Party Climb as high as you can to stay ahead of the collapsing blocks. Collect and play 5 Gumball characters. Apple and Onion – Bottle Catch Toss bottles back and forth between Apple and Onion to build up speed, then launch them into the air to collect coins. Adventure Time – Rainicorn’s Flying Colors Match rows of cards to clear the board. Unlock 32 unique Adventure Time characters. Ben 10 – Brains
