Cartoon Network ready to unleash Sym-Bionic Titan

The era of exciting new series on Cartoon Network is upon us, as the channel continues to crank out some big titles. Perhaps the biggest, well at least with the size of the giant robot, is Sym-Bionic Titan; a hybrid of high school drama and giant robot battles. The series will follow the adventures of three extraterrestrial beings that flee their war-torn home planet of Galauna, only to crash on Earth, where they fight space monsters commanded by General Modula, a nefarious villain. The Sym-Bionic Titan, the giant robot the series is named after, is the ultimate line of defense, utilizing Manus and Corus armor systems; smaller robots that protect the heroes. The series is created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the brains behind two other successful toons: Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack. With Generator Rex’s sneak peek, it’s only a matter of time before we get one for Sym-Bionic Titan! (more… )

Sony Pictures Animation to produce a Powerpuff Girls film?

Sony Pictures Animation to produce a Powerpuff Girls film?

Sony Pictures Animation is loving these animated films. Sure, they’ve had their level of success, including the recent Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but now they’re potentially digging into some recent classics from the Cartoon Network. Rumor has it, they’re interested in working with Fred Seibert and his Frederator Studios. Might not sound too familiar, but let’s look at a bunch of their credits: The Fairly OddParents, Dexter’s Laboratory, and The Powerpuff Girls. An amazingly impressive lineup! I don’t know about you guys, but I wouldn’t mind going to see a movie based on each!
