New Thundercats Coming to Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. have announced plans to revive the 1980's classic cartoon, Thundercats. The new series will have a strong anime feel to it, as it will be animated by Japanese firm, Studio4°C, best known for their work on The Animatrix. Sam Register, VP of Creative Affairs at Warner Brothers Animation, said, "The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers..."
Cartoon Network is also revamping Looney Tunes, and bringing MAD Magazine to TV, as well. One of the original Thundercats writers was recently discovered to be missing from his home, and is believed to have been murdered, possibly by his roommates. News of a live-action Thundercats movie surfaced in 2009, but little more has been reported on it.

Cartoon Network to Fight Bullies
Actually, Cartoon Network's anti-bullying campaign will target not bullies nor victims, but witnesses - those who see others being bullied - and teach them how to intervene. Alice Cahn, Cartoon Network's Vice-President of Social Responsibility (would that every corporation had one - especially Marvel Comics), called them the "bystander community: [those] who know they should do something, but are not sure what." Studies show about 85% of all bullying incidents are witnessed, but witnesses take action only about 1/5 of the time.
Cartoon Network's anti-bullying campaign targets middle-school students, where bullying is most prolific, and will include content within the cartoons and programs, as well as public service ads, and online content. CNN will also participate, with complementary programs for parents.
The program launches October 1st.

Weird Al's New Movie is for Cartoon Network
Weird Al Yankovic's long-awaited return to film is finally coming to fruition, thanks to the good people over to the Cartoon Network. Writing on his blog, Weird Al said the contracts had been in works, literally for years, and the contracts were signed a few months ago, but he was legally obligated to keep it quiet until now. While the movie has not gotten the greenlight just yet, it is the first project Weird Al will present the network, so that's just a technicality.
Cartoon Network approached Weird Al to create content for them - "they were open to anything" - and the first thing he has coming is a full-length feature film, which he will direct and appear in, though he will not be the lead. It is not a sequel to 1989's UHF, and he will not be the star, but he is on the third draft of the script and filming may begin as early as fall of this year (following a tour).
Weird Al Yankovic has appeared on Cartoon Network many times throughout the last few years, usually doing VO for cartoons, and has appeared on [adult swim] shows several times, as well. By way of his wording, it sounds like Weird Al may produce a string of projects for the network, so fans may finally be able to get their Weird Al fix on a regular, and widely-accessible, basis from here on out!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Season 8 Teaser
Here it is, [adult swim]'s teaser for the upcoming season eight of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I sincerely hope you enjoy it and that my once-beloved ATHF has leapt back over the shark it completely jumped back in season... whatever. The movie was total shit, too. Still, ATHF gave me so much joy in its early years that I'd be remiss not to point it out to you.
