cartoonhangover: To get a Too Cool! greenlight, we’ll ultimately need to see a brief pitchboard –not a full storyboard– of your short. Thumbnails, more or less. Most of the dialog should be there. We like to consider ourselves as fresh viewers, and shouldn’t be concerned with any sort of the more traditional pitches including bibles and so forth. That said, we’ll look at anything to get the ball rolling and help you out however we can. You probably know I founded Frederator Studios to work with creative filmmakers and artists making cartoons, and that we’re the producers behind some of the world’s biggest cartoon series, including The Fairly OddParents and Adventure Time. We’ve produced more than 200 creator-driven, animated shorts that have spun off 15 series for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and our own Channel Frederator. But, I don’t think I’ve told you anything much about Cartoon Hangover, our new original content channel, or Too Cool! Cartoons, our new shorts series, have I? You may have read about Cartoon Hangover in Animation Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, or on blogs around the internet. We’ve already proudly announced the first three series, Bravest Warriors, created by Pendleton Ward and executive produced by director/writer Breehn Burns, and SuperF*ckers, created by James Kochalka and with the production supervised by director Fran Krause. The advertising supported channel is one of the Channel Frederator networks, and it’s available exclusively on the YouTube platform. And we’re excited about Too Cool! Cartoons, with 39 original cartoon shorts we’ll produce over the next two years, right in the tradition of our big idea cartoon incubators What A Cartoon!, Oh Yeah! Cartoons, The Meth Minute 39, and Random! Cartoons, which have spawned all of our hit series to date. We’ve already greenlit a handful of the first shorts from new creators around the globe we’ve never worked with before, but we’d love to hear from you about any ideas you have. I’ll paste in the most frequently asked questions about Too Cool! Cartoons below. If you’ve got a pitch, or just the beginnings of an idea, please feel free to get in touch with Eric Homan ([email protected]) who has nurtured hundreds of our shorts from development to production over the past several years. We’re looking forward to hearing from you. -Fred Seibert ….. Cartoon Hangover & Too Cool! Cartoons FAQs You want to make a cartoon short for Channel Frederator’s Cartoon Hangover?
