Cartoon Network Wraps Up San Diego Comic-Con 2018!
The cable channel recaps its various announcements from the weekend.
[via press release from Cartoon Network] Cartoon Network Wraps Up San Diego Comic-Con 2018!
Cartoon Network delivered another year of knockout fan-first experiences at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 with a packed lineup of events, including panels from recently Emmy-nominated Steven Universe and Adventure Time. In case you missed it, here's everything you need to know:
Steven Universe
Series creator Rebecca Sugar and Estelle (voice of Garnet) kicked off Cartoon Network's slate by participating in a Superheroes of Body Positivity panel in partnership with the Dove Self-Esteem Project. Attendees watched an inspiring discussion between Sugar, Estelle, Sophie Galvani, Jess Weiner and moderator Erica Joy Baker on the importance of body positivity and representation in both the real and animated world.
On Saturday, the Steven Universe cast and crew hosted a panel showcasing highlights from the series and special cast moments from the past year, as well as a surprise screening of an upcoming episode of Steven Universe. To cap off the panel, fans went wild when moderator Shelby Rabara (voice of Peridot) introduced a teaser announcing Steven Universe: The Movie is coming soon to Cartoon Network.
Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Steven also flew high atop Cartoon Network's Steven Universe-themed booth all weekend long.
Adventure Time
Fans flocked to say farewell to beloved series Adventure Time on Friday, and were treated to various musical performances by their favorite characters - including Finn and Jake (Jeremy Shada and John DiMaggio), Marceline (Olivia Olson), Princess Bubblegum (Hynden Walch), Ice King (Tom Kenny) and BMO (Niki Yang). Executive Producer Adam Muto and surprise guest Rebecca Sugar, who cut her teeth on Adventure Time, also joined the panel. There was not a dry eye in the house as the cast and crew shared their favorite memories from the series. Attendees were also shown a sneak peek and trailer for the series finale, which will air Monday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m. (ET/PT) on Cartoon Network.
Cartoon Network Studios: Drawing on Inspiration
On Saturday, Cartoon Network assembled its newest creators Matt Burnett and Ben Levin (Craig of the Creek), Daniel Chong (recently Emmy-nominated We Bare Bears), Julia Pott (Summer Camp Island) and Diego Molano (Victor and Valentino) and moderator Ian Jones-Quartey (creator, OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes) for a conversation about their journeys in animation. Fans were among the first watch exclusive new clips from upcoming episodes of the Emmy-nominated We Bare Bears and Craig of the Creek, returning with new episodes next month, as well as Victor and Valentino, which premieres in 2019. Jones-Quartey also announced an epic OK K.O.! crossover episode, "Crossover Nexus," which will feature CN characters Garnet (Steven Universe), Ben Tennyson (Ben 10) and Raven (Teen Titans Go!) as they make a guest appearance at Lakewood Plaza Turbo. The episode will premiere on Cartoon Network this fall.
Cartoon Network Best Summer Ever Costume Ball
Fans came dressed to the nines as their favorite Cartoon Network character at this year's Best Summer Ever Costume Ball! Neighborhood Crystal Gems Michaela Dietz (voice of Amethyst, Steven Universe) and Deedee Magno Hall (voice of Pearl, Steven Universe) as well as Cartoon Network newcomer Philip Solomon (voice of Craig, Craig of the Creek) served as judges.

This special episode titled "Diamonds and Lemons" features Finn and his friends experiencing setbacks and creative triumphs in a fantastic new vision of Ooo.
[via press release from Cartoon Network] CARTOON NETWORK AND MOJANG EXPAND ADVENTURE TIME MINECRAFT PARTNERSHIP TO INCLUDE CONSUMER PRODUCTS
Previously Announced Special Episode Based on the Hit Game to Premiere Friday, July 20 with New Funko Product Line
Cartoon Network and Mojang revealed new components of the Adventure Time Minecraft Mashup partnership today including the premiere date and a sneak peek of the new special episode and a line of consumer products including Funko Pop! Vinyl figures and apparel. The 11-minute episode and limited-edition product line are based off the highly successful mashup launched last summer by Minecraft on console, PC and mobile.

The episode will be available for streaming on the Cartoon Network app, for authenticated cable subscribers, and on VOD following the linear premiere.
Adventure Time fans and the Minecraft community were delighted when voice cast Jeremy Shada (Finn) and Olivia Olson (Marceline) presented a special first look at the episode last November during MINECON Earth. Today, a full clip from the mashup episode was released.
Cartoon Network and Mojang have also expanded the Adventure Time Minecraft partnership to include a limited-edition consumer products collection arriving to retail this August:
· Funko will release POP! Vinyl figures based on Minecraft's mashup version of beloved Adventure Time characters Finn, Jake, Marceline, and Princess Bubblegum.
· Additionally, Funko will release three separate t-shirt designs featuring artwork from the mashup exclusively for Journey's Kidz.
Adventure Time, Cartoon Network's Peabody and Emmy Award-winning original animated series features unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants. The best of friends, our heroes always find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades. Finn, a silly kid with an awesome hat and Jake, a brassy dog with a big kind heart, depend on each other through thick and thin. Adventure Time is created by Pendleton Ward and produced at Cartoon Network Studios.

Adventure Time - Possible Release Date, Pricing for 'The Complete 7th Season'
Adventure Time - Possible Release Date, Pricing for 'The Complete 7th Season'DVD version is scheduled for mid-July, according to one industry source | ||
| Posted by David Lambert | 5/15/2017 | |
|
VideoETA, a site produced by distributor Ingram Entertainment, has reported that Adventure Time - The Complete 7th Season on DVD is scheduled for release on July 18th, for $24.98 SRP. The title hasn't been formally announced by Warner Home Video or the Cartoon Network, so that info may not be finalized yet, and could be subject to change. Currently this title has been listed at VideoETA for DVD only; no Blu-ray version is indicated so far...but it may just be too early for that to show up. An Amazon listing for the title doesn't have any info, and isn't taking pre-orders yet, either. Nor is there any box art so far, but stay tuned and we'll update you as more details arrive for this item!
