CTN_2016_Social_SDCC2016_Saturday_Panels-2

You guys…. YOU GUYS! The Powerpuff Girls are BACK!!!

Today, at San Diego Comic-Con, Cartoon Network presented a back-to-back panel extravaganza featuring two of its most popular series, We Bare Bears and The Powerpuff Girls, both making their San Diego Comic-Con debuts with their first-ever standalone panels. Never-before-seen clips from the hit shows were unveiled at the Indigo Ballroom in the Hilton Bayfront for all fans to enjoy.

The We Bare Bears panel featured Annie Award-winner and creator Daniel Chong, Lauren Sassen (Storyboard Artist), Mikey Heller (Series Writer) Manny Hernandez (Director), Eric Edelstein (Voice of Grizzly), Bobby Moynihan (Voice of Panda) and Demetri Martin (Voice of Ice Bear). Sassen did a live illustration to show fans how she brings the bro bears and their hilarious hijinks to life, and fans were treated to a special sneak peek from “Icy Nights” premiering later this year. In the episode, Ice Bear rides his custom vacuum into the city until a gang of techies steal his ride, forcing him to go on a rescue mission in the city’s underground world.

As part of the back-to-back extravaganza, the Emmy-nominated, reimagined The Powerpuff Girls panel featured Nick Jennings (Executive Producer), Bob Boyle (Co-Executive Producer), Haley Mancini (Writer, Voice of Princess Morbucks), Jake Goldman (Writer), Amanda Leighton (Voice of Blossom), Kristen Li (Voice of Bubbles), Natalie Palamides (Voice of Buttercup), and Tom Kenny (Voice of The Mayor, The Narrator).

Fans were among the first to get a special sneak peek at the all-new upcoming episode “The Big Sleep” in which the superhero sisters have to stop the Professor’s latest invention from wreaking havoc in the house. Check out a clip here:

Con-goers can still visit Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup and use the wildly popular Powerpuff Yourself online avatar maker at Cartoon Network’s Townsville-inspired booth (#3735)! After creating their very own Powerpuff avatar, complete with SDCC-exclusive clothing and accessories, fans can print their unique creations on a shirt or tote bag to take home.

ADVENTURE TIME : JAKE THE DAD – DVD REVIEW

JakeTheDad_JakeAndKids2-1024x576

LET’S GET MATHEMATICAL!

The fine folks at Cartoon Network just recently released ADVENTURE TIME : JAKE THE DAD on DVD, and let me tell you… it’s a hoot! Plus, it comes with a nifty Jake hat that I am not ashamed to wear out of my house as a 32 year old female! It’s just that cool!

JAKE THE DAD features sixteen episodes from seasons four and five of ADVENTURE TIME. The episodes feature Finn, and his best friend Jake the dog as they go on adventures (duh!), but the theme of this collection seems to be responsibility. All of our favorite Adventure Time characters are present, including Lumpy SPace Princess, which is my favorite. She’s featured in “Gotcha!”.

REGULAR SHOW : FRIGHT PACK – DVD REVIEW

RS_FrightPack_Stills_2-595x334

If you’re looking for some animated Halloween fun, then the REGULAR SHOW : FRIGHT PACK DVD is for you.

The FRIGHT PACK is a compilation of scary episodes from the first four seasons of REGULAR SHOW. While not all of the episodes are specifically Halloween themed, they keep the spooky spirit alive by featuring ghosts, zombies, and other fun monsters. “Terror Tales of the Park” and “Terror Tales of the Park II” are certainly the featured episodes on this disc. In this two part episode Mordecai, Rigby, Margaret and Benson tell each other scary stories while on the way to a Halloween party. This is the perfect way to start off the disc.

There are 14 episodes on the disc, which is sure to quench your REGULAR SHOW thirst until the third season is released on DVD. My favorite episode in the pack is “Grave Sights” which pays homage to some of the cult classics, such as ARMY OF DARKNESS and EVIL DEAD… because I’m a lady… who likes horror.

The FRIGHT PACK itself is not that spooky, but it sets the mood for holiday fun, especially for kids. I still found it enjoyable, and rather funny, despite the fear element that one might expect from a FRIGHT PACK.

Regular-Show-Fright-Pack-post-5

EPISODES:

“Terror Tales of the Park” , “Terror Tales of the Park II”,  “Dead at Eight,” “Jinx,” “Grave Sights,” “Ello Gov’nor,” “Death Bear” “Skunked,” “See You There,” “Meat Your Maker,” “The Best VHS in the World,” “Dizzy,” “Last Meal” and “Skips’ Stress.”

RUN TIME:

176 Minutes

SPECIAL FEATURES: 

The only special feature is a “Villains Gallery”, which is a slideshow look at some of the monsters from the episodes in the pack. It’s not exactly the most exciting feature, but this is the kind of disc you buy for the meat and potatoes! Bring on the episodes!

If you are looking for something fun to watch this holiday season, then the REGULAR SHOW : FRIGHT PACK is right up your alley. It’s great for the whole family!

OVERALL RATING 3.5 out of 5 stars
