Cartoon Network turned 20 years old last night at 6:58 pm ET. To celebrate that milestone, the channel commissioned London-based design shop ILOVEDUST and Diplo’s Mad Decent record label to create a nostalgia sugar rush stockpiled with the network’s most beloved characters. Special events are planned for October. But who cares about all of that [...]

Remember like six or eight months ago when you couldn’t cross the Internet sidewalk without coming across something about Odd Future (Wolf Gang Kill Them All)? Yeah, those were the days man. Whatever happened to that? Anyway, the rap collective has released the full-length trailer for their new Adult Swim show, Loiter Squad. From THR: [...]
So this animated MAD sketch apparently aired on Cartoon Network. You know, when you put it like this, the Internet seems downright stupid. Bordering, perhaps, on full retard. Even as someone from the inside that gets these jokes — and who, by the way, thinks the new Thundercats cartoon is completely bitching and worth your [...]
From Slate: This month, the Cartoon Network has rehabilitated the franchise with The Looney Tunes Show (Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET), on which the sketch-length vaudevillian antics of yore give way to a half-hour sitcom. The new program owes a little to feuding-roomie shows like The Odd Couple and a lot to the dynamics of Seinfeld. In this [...]
So let me get this straight: the new ThunderCats cartoon is nicely animated in the traditional methods (even if it looks to anime-ish for my liking), the mythology around the show seems streamlined, there are giant robots, all the favorite characters are accounted for except for Snarf (thankfully) and Panthro (sadly), Cheetara is disturbingly hotter [...]
Cartoon Network has unveiled about 70 seconds or so of footage from the upcoming Thundercats cartoon, from Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), Michael Jelenic (Batman: TB&TB, Wonder Woman), and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender). It looks pretty good. Certainly something I would enjoy watching, perhaps out of [...]
The photos was taken at the London Toy Fair and the animation looks alright. Certainly nothing to be alarmed about. It’s certainly a relief that the teenage Lion-O isn’t wearing a unitard wrestling outfit with a snazzy belt anymore. Plus — Cheetara? Still kinda hot for an animated cat-human hybrid being. The new version, courtesy [...]
It’s coming to Cartoon Network next year, and according to Topless Robot, “its going to be animated by Studio 4C, the Japanese anime studuo who worked on parts of The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, Halo: Legends and apparently did all of Transformers: Animated.” Fuck. Yes. I will watch the shit out of this cartoon while stuffing my [...]
I’m not really sure why it’s on Cartoon Network, but I guess that’s irrelevant. We love Andrew W.K. and so we’re totally on board with whatever he does. We, like, so want to have his babies. Okay, that’s actually gross and not really funny. Sooooooooo. Andrew W.K. has a new television show and it’s called [...]
