Anyone know where to get updates on the Cartoon Network/Warner Bros Animation/Hanna-Barbera Europe Spotlight currently going on at Annecy Festival? It's happening like right now.
If no one's live tweeting it, you're going to have to wait for Variety or some other outlet to write up an article about it after it's over
Yeah I’m surprised nobody is talking about it
They showed a teaser for Gumball season 7, the opening for Fionna and Cake, sneak peeks at some Batman projects, and a preview for the Looney Tunes Cartoons movie
The fuck is bubble brains
French name for this
So it wasn't Canceled or was UnCanceled? YES!
>Fionna and Cake (which will be for adults)
FANSERVICE CONFIRMED!?!
Speaking of Looney Tunes, there'll be a stop motion show about Taz, and Bye Bye Bunny wasn't mentioned at all. (RIP) https://twitter.com/clement_diolot/status/1669332568066408449
>Adventure Time... but for adults
Sounds extremely cringy and up it's own ass.
Sound exactly like Adventure Time as a whole
I assume its just a different name for The Day The Earth Blew Up or something
They also showed off Harley Quinn season 4, the Kite-Man spinoff, the Craig of the Creek movie, the Bat-Family series, and the Foster's Home reboot
>the fosters reboot
who the actual fuck was asking for this? I understand PPG and Ben 10, but who decided more Fosters was a top priority? It strikes me just as odd as bringing back Mike, Lu, and Og or Juniper Lee.
Worse, it’s a preschool program
youre shitting me. please be lying anon. PLEASE TELL ME ITS A JOKE
I unironically wish for the moon to collide with the earth. just end this misery already.
Craig says it's still a comedy and Bluey is an inspiration, so it shouldn't be too bad
Yeah the pitch is to show Bloo doing stupid things so kids can laugh at him and learn what you shouldn't do.
>who the actual fuck was asking for this?
Unironically, the studio leadership at WB/CN who wanted to work with Craig McCracken again
funnily enough, craig and lauren themselves.
here’s an extract of a long interview he did last month : https://youtu.be/kAr2POkgUTs?t=2257
(tl;dw : it’s for his daughter)
now that’s just negative talk, most of the most complaints Foster’s had during its run (and still has) targeted its “mean-spirited” tone and a supposed lack of positive morals. and even though the specials are well-regarded to this day (because they were more “serious” and “emotionally sincere” than usual), some episodes, especially in the later seasons, were very mediocre in terms of writing (i.e : it felt like classic spongebob but without the wholesomeness).
so trying to spin his own ip into something less adolescent and try-hard and more laid-back and heartfelt while still retaining its roots into comedy might not be a bad idea after all. wander and kid cosmic also toyed around with this idea of further exploring the characters and their dynamics as the episodes went by, and it didn’t end up as convoluted nauseating loreshit. so yeah i have my faith in the project.
besides, it cannot be any worse than the 2016 PPG reboot everyone got mad about, especially with the og creators on board.
WAAAAAAAH THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENIN, I CAN’T BELIEVE LE HECKIN CARTOON FOR KIDS IS GETTING A REBOOT FOR KIDS IN CURRENT YEAR WAAAAAH
I’m so fucking sick of whiney neckbeard retards like you who think the world resolves around them
you’re like this type of retard who only read the headlines of a newspaper and not the article in its entirety
just grow up already, honest to god you sound like a plebbitor
Will Bloo still be an asshole or are they going to water him down?
>Bloo is in CGI
I hope it’s cel shaded and at least retains the shows aesthetic.
I hope we have an acknowledgment of Invincible fight girl or Iyanu atleast
Full list of things they showed off. New projects are a Taz stop-motion series and something with Beast Boy
Grammar homicide
to be fair, they are French
I just manifested invincible fight girl, I hope we can get a trailer or something soon lmao
Also Beast Boy and Kite man Hell ya
I assume this new beast boy thing is a Teen titans go special
Probably.
yeah "The Day the Earth Blew Up" is apparently just titled "Bubble Brains" now
well at least that's saved, too bad they killed bye bye bunny
Yeah alongside Haunted Rise and Final Space.
final space was beyond zombie status after the second season, no point in mourning it.
Actually, Final Space's creator got the rights back to make 1 graphic novel. He made a crowdfunding to pre order copies and it sold out. Twice.
I know the title still fits with the plot, but damn, what a downgrade.
Oh, that's a fine name.
None of them is interesting for me.
>Foster's Imaginary Nursery
That's a nice name for a preschool show.
Not really.
They're making a Taz show?
New adult shows were also announced over at the HBO Max panel. One is an original comedy from the executive producers of The Looney Tunes Show being made at WB Animation
They also worked on mike tyson mysteries right? They’re cool
the Foster's reboot is apparently titled "Foster's Imaginary Nursery"
also they showed off the intro for Tiny Toons
I’m so goddamn happy that LTC movie was spared
It made my day
>no Jellystone
it's fucking over
I mean it's kinda obvious with Maxwell Atoms and many staff member wrapping up since January and with Greenblatt's show in development at Disney.
Write-up of the panel from some Brazilian site. Tiny Toons premieres in September, Invincible Fight Girl premieres in 2024, the Taz series "resembles being made of dough," they showed off concept art from Creature Commandos.
Description of a clip from My Adventures with Superman:
>The animated series My Adventures with Superman that arrives in July and showed a clip with a scene of the attraction and that focuses on the chemistry between Clark and Lois that is perfect. In the scene we see Clark arrive through the dorm window still dressed as Superman. Until he answers a call on the phone and it's Lois who says she wants to meet with him. And that, makes Clark change clothes quickly, until Lois knocks on the door. The two talk on the couch, and go on to get closer and closer to each other, until Jimmy arrives and cuts the mood.
Description of a clip from Batman: Caped Crusader:
>In partnership with Prime Video, the Batman: The Caped Crusader series will follow the mold of the style of the Batman: The Animated Series series of the 90s. And from what they showed is very similar, both the characters, and the animation used. On the panel, they presented the design of the characters. Among the villains, we're going to have Catwoman, Clay Face, Renee Montoya. Barbara Gordon and Commissioner Gordon also appeared in the footage. In one short scene, we saw Batman and a thug who is captured and stands upside down in the streets. A premiere date was not given.

Cock blocking Jimmy
>Tiny Toons premieres in September
Knew it, they want to set it up so it starts when college/school classes start in the US
Given the season finale is “Spring Break” it’ll probably spread 13 episodes to the beginning of April
it seems superman got the better deal
Ok, where are the motherfucking leaks on the new Batman show?
We only got the Season 1 titles and those got taken down.
Hope the clip shown is uploaded online.
So there was no acknowledgement of the Powerpuff Girls revival?
Apparently not, guess Foster's is farther along in dev
Yeah, pre production on Foster's started several months earlier than PPG's. They were just publicly announced at the same time.
Apparently Jim Gordon and Barbara Gordon are black in the caped crusader batman show

>Cartoon Network presented its very first preschool series, Jessica’s Big Little World, starring Craig of the Creek’s little sister, which will premiere in the fall in the U.S. First-look images filled with creativity and joy were very well received by Annecy’s audience — but it was when Audrey Diehl (SVP Development, Warner Bros. Animation) revealed the new Tiny Toons Looniversity opening titles that the fans went wild. The series is set to be released in September on Max and Cartoon Network, with half-hour episodes bringing back the beloved loony characters from the ’90s.
>Invincible Fight Girl, written by Juston Gordon-Montgomery (Dc Super Hero Girls, My Dad the Bounty Hunter), was the first original project that stood out from this keynote full of well-known IPs. “It’s funny, exciting, with next-level action sequences and that Cartoon Network comedy, it’s just going to blow your mind,” said Diehl, before showing a very convincing animatic that got the audience all riled up. This hip new show is due to come out next year.
>Despite being the talk of the crowd, there’s still no news about a long-awaited Gumball Movie. But the seventh season is well in the works, and we’ll soon have the chance to get back to this amazing world. There’s just no release date yet.

> Invincible Fight Girl, written by Juston Gordon-Montgomery (Dc Super Hero Girls, My Dad the Bounty Hunter),
Good resume
seems like Jim and Barbera were turned into BBC people. Hopefully that means Barbs will have wider hips or something
Matt Reeves made Gordon black in his movie and he's producing this, so that makes sense
Have Netflix not released a Leo trailer yet?
Will clips be leaked? I wanna see Harley and crusader clip. Did Kevin Conroy only record one season of the show? Also from the episode title list, it doesn't look like Joker is in season 1. Sad!
