The action and comedic adventure, Master Raindrop, will be working its way to Cartoon Network next month, thanks to distribution company Comarex.

This Sunday, March 7th, Cartoon Network will be debuting yet another new animated series, Pink Panther and Pals, at 7:30 am. It’s been quite a run for the CN, with all these new shows, but we couldn’t be happier! Rubicon Studios and MGM are behind this one, bringing us the first new Pink Panther toon in over 15 years. The show will star the teenaged pink-hued panther and his friends in a 15 minute episode. That will then be followed by one short of the classic Ant & the Aardvark characters. It’s been nearly 50 years since David DePatie and Friz Freleng created the character, so he’s long over due for a series catered to this generation. Here’s a brief look at the show in action (more… )

Talk about a global effort! Turner Entertainment Networks in Asia has recently been working with USA’s DCI Los Angeles to bring the animated adventure series Deltora Quest to Cartoon Network in Australia. Thankfully, all of this international mingling has been successful, and the show will debut in that region next month. Perfect timing, too, as Scholastic is relaunching Emily Rodda’s book series of the same name, as well. The series follows the adventures of three companions as they journey across the magical land of Deltora to recover magical artifacts and defeat allies of the evil Shadow Lord. Take a look at a clip of the show in action (more… )
