Cartoon Network at this year's Comic Con

[Nelson]

Hey everyone,

I usually don't post on this board, but I just wanted to inform anyone(if this has not been mentioned already)that Cartoon Network will have a live panel at this month's San Diego Comic Con.I know that many of you that not been thrilled in the direction that CN has been taking and I hope for those who plan on attending, give this channel hell, as they will be taking questions from viewers.

[warnerbroman]

and don't forget to bring you rotten tomatoes if they still care about cartoons they would love the irony

[soundmonkey44]

there pretty Balsy, showing up at a convention where there will most likely be a good number of Cartoon & Anime fans hangin around. They Better be going there to ask the Fans what they want to see on the network, cause if they go to promote there live action. Well I have a filling that we may be seeing more then a few heads roll. (Literally!):radda::evil::mad::sweat:

[DeanBurrito25]

Hoo boy, the cartoon-lovers there are going to tear CN apart! :D

[mowub]

And be sure to upload videos of the convention to YouTube... that'll make for some quality entertainment.

[Dr.Pepper]

They better be promoting more than just CN Real there. Also when is Comic Con?

[Nelson]

For me personally, my heart(and I do mean this)goes out to all of you CN viewers, as I stopped watching this channel, once they got rid of all the classic cartoon series(for which made the channel popular to begin with)and decided to air more original programming.It's hard to figure out on why CN would start to air reality shows(which is the "lowest" form of entertainment)on what is "supposed" to be an called cartoon channel.

Having CN at this year's Comic Con event is like diving into a pool of great white sharks, does this netowrk have even the slightess clue on what they're getting themselves into with viewers face to face?

Lord knows I wouldn't want to be on that pannel.

Also when is Comic Con?

The San Diego Comic Con will be held on July 23-26 at the San Diego Covention Center.

[Chazooma]

I feel kinda bad for them,
hopefully a mob doesn't raid the panel.
If I could be there, and there was an angry mob,
I wouldn't join, but I would probably just watch.

Does that make me a bad person? :ack:

I hope there are news on upcoming shows like Sym-Bionic Titan,
and Generator Rex. I want to find out more on those.

[Blackstar]

The reps of Cartoon Network would have to be aware that fans are displeased with the network's recent decisions. Coming onto a convention ignorant of this fact would not be a smart move for them at all.

For anyone attending who plans to address their issues with CN, I would think that it would be best not to come off like an angry mob, but rather to express your dissatisfaction for the current state of CN in an intelligent, concise manner.

Or else, you could just throw a cream pie at them and then say "Remember when your channel used to show that?" :D

[Sketch]

Well of course they're going to be at Comic Con, they're at Anime Expo this weekend.

And guys nobody is going to be an angry mob. When has that ever happened at a convention?

[The Huntsman]

For those who haven’t heard, here is Cartoon Network’s Comic Con schedule. I omitted the information pertaining to [Adult Swim] programming since it’s separate. I’m hoping somebody attends this and lets us know what is revealed about “Generator Rex” and “Sym-Bionic Titan”.

The cabler announced its healthy slate of panels, fan events and special signings at the event (July 23-July 27) today.

[macattack]

Looks like they are aware they're gonna fall into a vat of sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads because they're not going to talk about their live-action AT ALL while they're there if the Cartoon Network event schedule is right.

[mowub]

Well people should still let them know that we hate live action.

[Neal]

How come there isn't a cartoon con, or is there and I somehow don't know about it?

[warnerbroman]

I hope they mention Naruto and One Piece

[Chazooma]

:(
No Secret Saturdays?
I am sad.

[Sketch]

That is a shame. Probably the death toll for it.

[WaggonerCartoons]

And guys nobody is going to be an angry mob. When has that ever happened at a convention?

Well there's a first time for everything. ;)

[Jay Stephens]

True, we're not feeling a lot of love for the Secret Saturdays from CN these days, but it's possible they're hoping the launch of all the upcoming merch will serve as promotion for the series. Don't count us out just yet. And speaking of merch, Mattel has a booth at ComicCon, and will be selling Saturdays toys. Also, Phil (Doc Saturday) Morris and Sam (Zak Saturday) Lerner will both be in attendance, and I provided them with Saturdays art to autograph. Tell 'em I sent you.

[Taco Wiz]

And be sure to upload videos of the convention to YouTube... that'll make for some quality entertainment.
OH GOD YES! I must see that! I've only heard about the Fried Dynamite Comic Con booing through words. I need to see something similar happening.

[Envy II]

I hope they mention Naruto and One Piece

In your dreams... okay, in my dreams as well.

But it's not going to happen. T_T

Apparently they gave up the rights to One Piece. Doesn't surprise me. They never gave it much of a chance to redeem itself from the horrible 4Kids dub.

[Candice Suzana]

So, the Chowder panel will be the most interesting part for me. I wonder if some things such as the show's future will be cleared up.

[DeanBurrito25]

Adventure Time sneak peak?!
YES. :D

[Nelson]

Although at times, I do like Chowder and Flapjack, but for you see, I'm old school and nothing beats the "true" classics.Give me Terrytoons, Looney Tunes, Famous Studios and the Columbia cartoons and I'm a happy guy.lol ;)

[nakak]

Okay, let's not dwell into an old vs. new argument here, guys.

(FYI I love old cartoons as much as anyone, but let's keep out of this)

[Chazooma]

Adventure Time sneak peak?!
YES. :D
:anime: Yeah! I hope someone posts it up on youtube.

And I just found out, the guy who played Finn (the boy)
in the original short (Zach Shada) is not going to be playing Finn in the cartoon.
Instead, it'll be his younger brother, Jeremy Shada.
At least, I think so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbpqvFR8Yjk
It's probably old news though. I'm never up to date with stuff like this.
"SLAY THIS UNALIGNED ANT"

I hope so too.
And I remember watching that recording session on YouTube. Jeremy sounds exactly like his brother, so it's nice to know that Finn's voice isn't changing that much.

[~Shoяe]

I'm not sure if it would be good or bad if we got CH to rag on CN real in front of the whole convention :shrug: one part of me says it would be awesome, another part of me says it would ruin him and he'd never sell another show.

[Rho]

If Stuart Snyder is going to be there, I might actually try to get out there and (try to) give him a piece of my mind.

No, people, no violence. Just angry ranting/lecturing. :p

[YogiBR123]

Maybe Snyder is already making precautions and is planning to come to the convention is an umpire suit, in case hecklers start getting physical.

Of course, I'm being sarcastic, but anything can happen at the Comic-Con.

[strawberryjuice]

hey if anyone whose going will bee kind enough to film the panel then awesome.
also: INCOMING STORM

[AJ1]

I hope someone gets this on video and posts it either here or on youtube, I was anxious to see what this series is all about so I read the thread on it and it definatly is going to be a hit with the fans on this board. Maybe they will show other trailers at this convention too, like ones for Rex and Symbionic Titan, I have been wanting to see a sneak peek at these shows for a while now.

[Jack_6428]

i hope those smoked clowns finally give us some videos from Cartoonstitute and that they will beg on their knees for eve thinking about putting live action crap on Cartoon Network.... i hope the CN fans there will shred them to pieces until they change their minds and make CN "the place to be"..

[Mesousa]

No Total Drama?

FAIL.

Come on, CN, don't be cheap. If you edited TDI with the original voice actors, why couldn't you bring them to Comic-Con? For that matter, what about the creators?

I hate it when they're shy.

I'm dissappointed already. :sad: :mad:

[Tomato Suprise]

Being blunt here: When I saw the schedule for SDCC, I laughed my face off. No CN Real panel? I've got to admit that CN's got guts coming to SDCC this year, but they also have brains. They know that twenty billion otakus, animation fans, and CN Real haters will descend on this panel, teeth gnashing. So, what're they doing? Not mentioning it at all. Sure, there may be a whisper here and there, but no OMGZ mega huge panels. It looks like CN is realizing that their Messaih is actually the Antichrist. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if, come fall, there's no trace of Real. In my opinion, we were going to be in for a HUGE restructuring coup. YAH was going to be axed, HHT completly Canadian, and Real making up a good 75% of the network, with a possible name change. But finally, I think they realized how much of a misstep this was. I wouldn't care if at SDCC they flat out lied and said the CN Real was a placeholder while YAH took a break, and they never intended to make it permanant. They don't need to admit their mistake to the public as long as they know they made one and fix it by Fall.
But c'mon, THREE Clone Wars panels? That seems a little forced. I wonder what CH will say at the comedy panel. He seems VERY vocal about his dislike for Real, and even with any contractual stipulations, he still has his rights. I just hope we get confirmation from CH and Thurop about the status of their shows. It's been hush-hush for way too long.

And please, CN, give us a teeny peek at Titan and Rex. PLEASE! I'd also like a final word on how exactly Cartoonstitute will be integrated into regular programming.

Now, I'm off to wait with bated breath for word on Secret Saturdays.

Thoughts?
A Slightly Squashed Tomato

[Mesousa]

Shouldn't we all be relieved that they're only bringing animation, at least?

[YogiBR123]

Shouldn't we all be relieved that they're only bringing animation, at least?

I agree. After all, if there was a CN Real panel at the Comic-Con, the entire building would be in flames in seconds.

Nah, I just feel like joking today.

[Chazooma]

But c'mon, THREE Clone Wars panels? That seems a little forced.
I agree, I mean, Clone Wars is a great show and all,
but three panels? Really? One of those could've been used for TSS.
It would've been super cool to see Jay & company.
:sad:

I think at least some of the CN Real shows might be dropped after season 1,
but there are others coming up. Like Prepped, Bobb'e Says, and Dude What Would Happen? Hopefully, those won't flop on their butts.

[Spaceman]

I'm sure it was Lucasfilm rather than CN who decided to have three panels of Clone Wars. I wouldn't blame LFL for the The Secret Saturdays' apparent shut-out. CN should've given it a spot on the action/adventure panel alongside Ben 10 and the sneak peeks of Titan and Rex, but noooo...

It really stinks to see TSS marginalized like that. I hope the toyline is a success, not just for it's sake but for the future of animation on CN.

Well, that is a good point now that you mention it.
I sure hope you're right.

Despite whoever decided that TSS would be left out,
I'm still sad about it.
I'm hooked on the show, and I had hoped there would've been a Q & A on what's to come, a chance to see the whole team & voice actors,
all that good stuff. It would've been cool to see the kid who voices Zak.

But sadly, it just isn't to be. :sad:

At least, I will find some comfort in new TSS toys that my mom let me buy online (not out in Toys R Us yet in my area).

[The Huntsman]

Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 is also going to have a panel at Comic Con; I didn’t post about it earlier because it’s being presented by Mattel and not Cartoon Network, so I overlooked it.

SUNDAY, JULY 26

MATTEL PANEL: Hot Wheels Battle Force 5
12:00-1:00
Location: 7AB

Hot Wheels Battle Force 5: World Premiere! - Be the first to see an episode of the all new CG-animated series, Hot Wheels Battle Force 5! The series starts this August on Cartoon Network and tells the story of a group of teen drivers and their 5 ultra-cool, ultra-fast vehicles. Their mission is to protect the Earth from The Sark, an army of evil robots, and The Vandals, a species of super-predators. After the screening, join producer Audu Paden (Spider-Man: The New Animated Series), director Johnny Darrell (Storm Hawks) and real-life Hot Wheels car designers for a behind-the-scenes peek at how the series was created. There will also be plenty of fun activities, trivia, and lots and lots of great prizes!

[mkalv]

Just great! Another Hot Wheels show! Ugh! Oh, well. As long as it isn't live-action, then it can't be all bad.

I bet that it will be on You Are Here.

[{Shadow}]

Just great! Another Hot Wheels show! Ugh! Oh, well. As long as it isn't live-action, then it can't be all bad.

It'll be part of the Saturday Crushzone, actually.

[Elven Moon]

I really hope somebody films their panel and posts it on Youtube or Veoh or somewhere. I'd like to see it and what any visiting fans say to them :)

[mkalv]

It'll be part of the Saturday Crushzone, actually.

And since Marvel Superhero Squad is also going on SC, Crushzone will have a whole bunch of shows. And if Star Wars and Secret Saturdays stay on Sat mornings, well, thats a whole lotta shows.

[The Huntsman]

So… Cartoon Network’s first panel has been over for a few hours now and I haven’t heard a thing. I’m not sure if Toon Zone had anybody there or not… I’ll scour the web to see if I can find anything, but if anybody attended the panel, was anything of note revealed?

I wouldn't really expect Toon Zone staff to write up something this early. Most people will probably stay until the end of the convention (pretty sure it's still going on as we speak), and then they still have have to write up and post the articles. Check back in a couple hours and you'll likely find some news. Although sometimes it does take a day or two for TZ staff to write up reports of some panels...

[The Huntsman]

The only thing that I’ve managed to find so far is this picture on Frederator’s Blog (http://frederatorblogs.com/talk_to_the_snail/2009/07/24/pendleton-ward-thurop-van-orman-and-ch-greenblatt/). I wonder if Mr. Greenblatt felt left out not having an epic beard.

[RonDrakenfan17]

Can any one tell me info on Ben 10 Alien Force from the comic con? Big fan of the show and want to know more info on season three, thank you :)

[LeatherJeans]

No. Sadly they didn't get one. Neither did the Saturdays...

SATURDAY, JULY 25

CARTOON NETWORK ACTION ADVENTURE ANIMATION: BEN 10
11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.
Location: ROOM 6DE

Moderator: Tramm Wigzell director of development, original series Cartoon Network
It’s all about Ben 10 at this panel featuring director Alex Winter and cast members from the live-action movie Ben 10: Alien Swarm coming this fall on Cartoon Network. Also appearing are Ben 10 Alien Force producer Glenn Murakami, story editor Dwayne McDuffie and Yuri Lowenthal (voice of Ben). Make sure not to miss an exclusive look at what’s coming next with a sneak peak of Generator Rex and the first images from the upcoming series, Sym-Bionic Titan, by creator Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter’s Laboratory).

[Daxdiv]

Wow, a sneak peak at Sym-biotic Titan and Generator Rex along with some Ben 10 news. I hope someone does cover that, even though I am waiting on coverage of the Chowder/Flapjack/Adventure Time panel.

[The Huntsman]

Wow, a sneak peak at Sym-biotic Titan and Generator Rex along with some Ben 10 news. I hope someone does cover that, even though I am waiting on coverage of the Chowder/Flapjack/Adventure Time panel.Again, I’m not sure if Toon Zone covered it. I’m not on the news team, but according to the coverage page (http://news.toonzone.net/articles/30584/san-diego-comic-con-2009-complete-on-site-coverage), we only have one person there and I’m not sure if they went to the Cartoon Network panel yesterday. Maybe you can shoot a PM to TheVileOne (http://forums.toonzone.net/member.php?u=31327) asking him to check the panel out tomorrow, but I’m not sure if it’s on his schedule. He’s done a fine job, but one person just can’t be at every panel.

[RonDrakenfan17]

What? The "Ben 10: Alien Force" panel is tomorrow…

Yah that's awesome *Few* Some one ask the people if Ghost Freak and Vilgax will be back? Oh and Evil Ben from AF those guys were the best villains to me :)

[Taco Wiz]

I'm praying another complete series DVD set is announced during the con.

[The Huntsman]

Here’s a video of Pen Ward answering two questions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJd91ld9jJE). Hopefully more of the panel will be uploaded to YouTube in the coming days.

[Taco Wiz]

Was ANY slight hint of DVDs dropped?

Did CN Real come up? Chowder?

[Tomato Suprise]

I don't know if it's becuase of the rough economy, but we only seem to have TheVileOne there, as opposed to 3 or 4 reports. I haven't heard a peep about the action panel. Was TVO there? Also, are Titan and Rex supposed to come this fall, or is CN gonna torture me longer?

Tomato

[The Huntsman]

I am disappointed. Information was revealed about “Adventure Time”, “Generator Rex” and “Sym-Bionic Titan” and nobody bothers to record them and upload them online? Hell, hardly anybody is even blogging about what they saw; all I’ve managed to find are a few vague comments here and there. I’m not even sure if any actual footage was shown, but a lot of people are looking forward to these shows and it’s a shame that nobody bothered to step up. Maybe it’s because Cartoon Network cheaped out and didn’t get a fancy booth or something, but more people should have been there and they should be talking about what was revealed.

[chdr]

Yeah. I at least expected something from Toon Zone News. Adult Swim didn't even upload their Comic-Con panels on ASV like they did last year.

[The Huntsman]

Yeah. I at least expected something from Toon Zone News. Adult Swim didn't even upload their Comic-Con panels on ASV like they did last year.I guess the economy is rough. I believe Harley had hoped more users would have stepped up to the plate and became reporters; remember when she made that announcement asking if people were going to Comic Con? I think that’s what that was about. Of course, it doesn’t seem like any of the other sites covered the panels either.

I just noticed that a user linked to the Ben 10 panel in another thread. Maybe that will have something about “Generator Rex” and “Sym-Bionic Titan” in it. I’ll have to watch that and see if the video has any of the details. I can’t watch it now due to my satellite connections limited bandwidth.

Of course, it doesn’t seem like any of the other sites covered the panels either.That doesn't change the fact that Comic-Con is a big (possibly the biggest) event in the animation industry. One of the world's biggest and most reputable news sources in the animation world should be expected to cover these types of things, especially news panels. Someone should. Why there is zero news on this panel is a mystery to me.

I'm almost tempted to ask Thurop what happened at the panel on his DA.

Newsarama didn’t seem to cover the panels either despite the fact that they felt that it was important enough to mention in an article (http://www.newsarama.com/tv/090709-animated-shorts-chowder.html), and Cartoon Brew didn’t say anything about them despite their recent campaign against Cartoon Network. I know Jerry Beck had his own panels to attend, but he has connections and I’m surprised he didn’t find anything out.

I’d also like to know if CN Real came up at all, but we may never know.

[Chazooma]

There's a recording of the Ben 10 panel on viddler,
the guy couldn't get full-on shots of the sneak peeks though (wasn't allowed),
but there are tiny, itty-bitty snippets,
and you can hear the audio and voices.

Hopefully we can get a clear view of the peeks sometime soon.

[RonDrakenfan17]

I want to know if they gave a sneak peak of the new Scooby-Doo series. Any one know this?

[Ultra8]

Wow...I'm surprised at how little info their is on that panel, I mean I missed it to go to another panel because I figured 1) there'd be a long line, 2) someone would talk about it on the net.

[nakak]

Pen Ward did a short comic about the con, and mentions something about the CN panel he was in

http://www.buenothebear.com/Con09.jpg

[TheVileOne]

Hey guys. Sorry I didn't make it into this and some of the other animation panels. I was jam packed and stacked up this year, not to mention I got shut out of a lot of stuff and had to divert some time for interview/press sessions as well with the voice actors and production people.

Not to mention, having a press badge at Con is virtually useless now in getting into the regularly scheduled events.

[nakak]

I found this blogpost, which has something written about the CN Comedy panel
