Warner Bros. and Adult Swim Heavyweights Headline SCAD AnimationFest 2026: https://www.scad.edu/scadfilm/festivals/animationfest2026/schedule
Warner Bros. Discovery’s animation divisions are taking centre stage at the 10th-anniversary edition of SCAD AnimationFest, bringing a high-profile lineup of theatrical features, iconic comic book adaptations, and hit adult animation spin-offs to Atlanta this September.
From feature-film sneak peeks to deep dives into television continuity, the festival highlights the creative forces shaping the current landscape of animated entertainment.
Warner Bros. Pictures Animation: The Cat in the Hat
Kicking off the studio highlights on Wednesday, 23 September, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation offers an exclusive sneak peek at The Cat in the Hat. Marking the first animated theatrical feature starring Dr. Seuss’s legendary character, the session explores the vibrant new world and artistry behind the film ahead of its November cinema release.
Fans and aspiring animators will hear directly from the creative team, featuring directors Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, art director Amos Sussigan, and head of story Ryan Gaffney, discussing Bill Hader's voicing of the iconic feline.
Warner Bros. Animation & DC: Batman: Knightfall
On Thursday, 24 September, the spotlight shifts to the Dark Knight with a special screening of Batman: Knightfall — Part 1: Knightfall. Warner Bros. Animation executive vice president for alternative programming and creative affairs Peter Girardi and supervising producer Rick Morales will pull back the curtain on adapting one of DC’s most punishing comic sagas. The panel will examine how the studio translated the iconic storyline—where Bane shatters the Batfamily's status quo by freeing Arkham Asylum's entire rogues' gallery—into a major three-part movie event.
Adult Swim: Get Jiro
On Thursday, 24 September, the festival menu shifts to a bloody and brilliant culinary dystopia with a special preview screening of Get Jiro. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation for Adult Swim, the highly anticipated series is based on the acclaimed DC/Vertigo graphic novels co-written by the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and Joel Rose.
Set in a near-future Los Angeles where master chefs operate like ruthless crime syndicates and patrons literally kill for a seat at the best restaurants, the story follows a mysterious sushi chef named Jiro (voiced by Brian Tee) who enters a brutal turf war to craft his own recipe for revenge.
Following the screening, creators and executive producers Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka will take the stage to discuss the creative journey of adapting Bourdain’s celebrated work for television. The panel will explore the show's distinctive visual style and its meticulous approach to food animation ahead of its debut on Adult Swim’s Toonami block this October.
Adult Swim: President Curtis
Television animation takes a sharp, satirical turn on Wednesday, 23 September, with a special episode screening of President Curtis. Following the screening, executive producer and writer Danielle L. Uhlarik alongside character designer (and SCAD alumna) Amy Sherrier will discuss the creative engine behind the new series. As a spin-off of Adult Swim's mega-hit Rick and Morty, the session explores how the team developed the show’s distinctive visual style, characters, and irreverent take on presidential politics.

Cartoon Network UK and Spinnaker London Transform Four Quarters for ‘Regular Show’ Arcade Takeover:
Last weekend, Cartoon Network UK partnered with creative agency Spinnaker London to host the "Regular Show: The Lost Tapes Arcade Takeover," a vibrant experiential event aimed at generating excitement for the series' upcoming new episodes, which launch on 7 September.
Taking over the popular arcade bar Four Quarters, the teams successfully transformed the venue into a real-life slice of the surreal Regular Show universe. The end-to-end activation immersed a mix of kid influencers, dedicated fans, and newcomers in a wave of classic arcade gaming and nostalgia.
Joel Monk, Account Director at Spinnaker London, noted that the project was highly enjoyable to organise from start to finish, highlighting the inclusion of "brilliantly weird challenges" that perfectly captured the essence of the animated comedy.
Spearheading the activation on the broadcasting side was Emma De Cesaris, Marketing Coordinator for Kids at Cartoon Network UK. The comprehensive event treated attendees to exclusive screenings of the new content, extensive free-play gaming sessions, and bespoke photo opportunities. To complete the atmosphere, guests were offered themed mocktails, snacks, and branded goody bags.
A major highlight of the takeover was the custom-themed interactive challenges. De Cesaris, who helped develop the creative concepts for these games, noted that they added a unique twist that consistently drove audience engagement throughout the day.
The successful arcade takeover serves as a strong reminder of the power of experiential marketing in the entertainment sector to create tangible, memorable experiences. Both teams praised the collaborative effort required to bring the event to fruition, with De Cesaris extending special thanks to colleagues Max Reeves, Samantha Foo, Talia Andrew, and Cressida Bell for their on-site support.
With real-world buzz successfully generated over the weekend, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes is poised for its highly anticipated television premiere next week (Monday 7th September).

‘Regular Show: The Lost Tapes’ Returns With Delayed Rollout For Cartoon Network Latin America:
Following the successful debut of its first 10 episodes in May, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes is back with a fresh batch of eight new adventures. While the global streaming premiere on HBO Max is set for Monday, 7 September, the broadcast rollout will see some regional delays, notably on Cartoon Network Latin America.
HBO Max Latin America will join the global simultaneous release on 7 September.
However, viewers relying on the linear Cartoon Network feed in the region will have to wait a little longer. The channel will broadcast the new episodes across two weeks, airing the first three from 14 to 16 September, and concluding with the remaining five from 21 to 25 September.
This staggered approach isn't isolated to Latin America. In Spain, the Boing channel will also begin its broadcasts on 14 September. In the United States, Cartoon Network will hold off until 19 September, with Max and Hulu adding the new episodes later in October.
For the rest of the world, 7 September remains the simultaneous launch date across both linear and streaming platforms.
To celebrate the return of Mordecai, Rigby, and the rest of the park crew, Cartoon Network is programming a daily Regular Show special block throughout the month. A recent trailer has also teased what's to come in these new prequel adventures, confirming the return of fan favourites like Party Horse and the Excellent Knight, alongside character-focused episodes for the wider cast.
Notably absent from this batch is the anticipated "Terror Tales of the Park" Halloween special, which has been held back for a future release.

Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal Secures Two Juried Emmy Awards
Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal has once again proven its artistic excellence, securing two juried trophies at the 78th Emmy Awards in 2026. The acclaimed Adult Swim programme bypassed the main Emmy race this year to contend specifically for the juried animation awards.
The 2026 Winners
Unlike standard Emmy categories, juried awards carry no nominees. A panel from the relevant peer group evaluates entries in a single round of evaluation and can award one, multiple, or no Emmys. Primal successfully claimed two of the five total awards given for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation this year:
David Krentz won the award for Storyboard for his work on the episode "Kingdom of Sorrow". This marks Krentz's third Emmy, having previously been recognised for his storyboard work on the Primal episode "Plague of Madness".
Scott Wills (noted with the alternative spelling "Willis" in the provided promotional image) won the award for Art Direction for the episode "Vengeance of Death". This latest win marks the fourth Emmy of his career.
A Legacy of Acclaim
These recent wins add to the profound critical acclaim of the series, which is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Adult Swim. The awards were officially presented at the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony on Sunday, 6 September 2026.

Press Release: Xilam Animation Secures International Presales for Latest Content from Beloved Comedy Franchises: https://xilam.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Xilam_2026-09-09_PR-Presales-Round-Up.pdf
Deals Inked Across ‘Oggy and the Cockroaches’ Season 9, ‘Zig & Sharko’ Seasons 5 & 6 and New Spin-off ‘Chickies’
Academy Award®-nominated French animation studio Xilam Animation (Paris:ALXIL) has inked a wave of presales for the latest content from its line-up of iconic comedy franchises. The landmark ninth season of Oggy and the Cockroaches has been presold to Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA and APAC; Zig & Sharko’s upcoming fifth and sixth seasons to JioStar India Private Limited and Warner Bros. Discovery Italy; and Chickies, the new spin-off to hit series Where’s Chicky?, is heading to Radio Canada and SVT Sweden. Xilam will be attending MIPCOM with the first two completed episodes of the Chickies series, which will complete delivery in 2027.
Safaa Benazzouz, EVP Distribution at Xilam Animation, said: “Our legacy brands remain a cornerstone of our business, continuing to resonate with generations of fans, while maintaining highly engaged online communities. The fresh content we’re creating across Oggy and the Cockroaches, Zig & Sharko and our Chickies spin-off will ensure that these iconic IP continue engaging both new and existing audiences. Having such a strong roster of broadcasters already on board is testament to how evergreen these titles are and the ongoing demand for comedic, character-driven animations worldwide.”
Directed by Julien Daubas and Lucas Pinatel, Oggy and the Cockroaches’s ninth season cements its status as one of the longest running French animated series and returns to the core elements that made the series a global success – led by the inventive and explosive rivalry between Oggy and the cockroaches. Commissioned by returning broadcaster France Télévisions, the new season (78x7’) is slated for delivery between Q3 2027 and Q2 2028, in celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary in 2028. Oggy and the Cockroaches is available in over 190 territories and has a digital fanbase spanning 32M YouTube subscribers and 18B views, plus 22M subscribers across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.
Xilam recently greenlit two new seasons of non-dialogue slapstick comedy Zig & Sharko, with longstanding partner Gulli (France) returning to commission the fifth and sixth instalments. The new seasons of 52 x 7’ are set to deliver in 2027 and 2028 respectively. The series celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2025 and is Xilam’s most established IP on YouTube, with over 39M subscribers and 23B views across eight dedicated channels worldwide – as well as 2.8M subscribers on TikTok, 3.9M on Facebook, and 765K on Snapchat. Seasons five and six, directed by Andrès Fernandez, will follow a summer vacation theme, with each season exploring the main characters’ idea of a perfect getaway – Zig in season five and Marina in season six.
Chickies is the upcoming spin-off to Xilam's hit short-form series Where's Chicky?, a global YouTube hit generating over 2.5B views a year and available on leading international broadcasters, including in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and more, across SVOD, FVoD and AVoD platforms. Set to deliver by June 2027, the new 78 x 7’ CG-animated series, directed by Cédric Diestsh and Anh Tu Cao, has previously pre-sold to France Télévisions. It follows Chicky, Bekky and Poyo, three curious and cheerful chicks who have had enough of being cooped up, and introduces adorable new characters known as the ‘Chicklets’. The four seasons of Where’s Chicky? have seen an extraordinary digital success, with the series cumulating 9B views and 12M subscribers on YouTube, as well as 6M subscribers across its social media accounts.

Cartoon Network Latin America October 2026 Highlights: https://www.tvlaint.com/2026/09/octubre-en-cartoon-network.html?m=1
For the first time in nearly a decade, the "big three" Cartoon Network franchises of the 2010s are returning to the airwaves simultaneously. October 2026 is shaping up to be a monumental month for Cartoon Network Latin America, with the highly anticipated regional premiere of Adventure Time: Side Quests, alongside brand-new Halloween specials from Regular Show: The Lost Tapes and The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball.
Adventure Time: Side Quests: A Return to the Land of Ooo
Leading the pack is the official Latin American launch of Adventure Time: Side Quests. Set during the early years of the original Emmy-winning series, this new production brings back the lighter, standalone humour of the early seasons. Viewers can look forward to seeing classic iterations of Finn, Jake, Ice King, Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and BMO.
The series premieres on Monday, 5 October, broadcasting Monday to Thursday at 07:00 MEX | 08:00 COL | 10:00 ARG/CHI. The initial rollout consists of 20 episodes, beginning with two episodes per day for the first week, before shifting to one per day until concluding on Thursday, 29 October. To celebrate the launch, Cartoon Network will also air a curated selection of classic Adventure Time episodes daily throughout the month at 13:30 MEX | 14:30 COL | 16:30 ARG.
Regular Show: The Lost Tapes: Terror Tales of the Park Return
Just in time for the spooky season, Regular Show: The Lost Tapes is reviving one of the most beloved traditions of the original run: "Terror Tales of the Park". The newly discovered tapes by Pops have unearthed a seventh instalment of the beloved anthology series.
The half-hour Halloween special features three new spooky segments: "Y.A.M.", "Killer Workout", and "Feedback Group". It will debut on Sunday, 4 October at 09:30 MEX | 10:30 COL | 12:30 ARG, with an evening repeat at 19:00 MEX | 20:00 COL | 22:00 ARG/CHI.
The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball: Darwin Joins a Coven
Following a gap of several months without new episodes, The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball is back with a new Halloween special titled "The Summoning". The storyline follows Darwin as he attempts to join a coven of witches, only for his newly acquired magical powers to go straight to his head.
The special premieres on Friday, 16 October at 07:00 MEX | 08:00 COL | 10:00 ARG/CHI, with repeats scheduled at 15:00 MEX | 16:00 COL | 18:00 ARG/CHI and 20:30 MEX | 21:30 COL | 23:30 ARG.
