Union Pool Launches with NEW animated shows!

For quite a while, 30 Second Bunnies was really the only animated series you might have heard of from Union Pool. Welp, we’ve got a couple more that launched TODAY that you should know about!

Starz has been making a whole bunch of noise on the animated front as of late. Recently, their animation house Film Roman announced that they were producing original content and now the network has helped launch a new Youtube channel called Union Pool and as part of the channel lineup we are getting TWO new animated shows to go along with the already crazy popular 30 Second Bunnies. Check out samples below with descriptions about the shows:

Captain Cornelius Cartoon’s Cartoon Lagoon

Nickelodeon and DC Comics alumni Manny Galán and Pat Giles of Pat-Man Studios serve as Executive Producers for “Captain Cornelius Cartoon’s Cartoon Lagoon”. The show is an award-winning animated adventure that follows seafaring puppets on their underwater quest aboard the Manta Ray. This cartoon-retrieving vessel commanded by Captain Cornelius dives deep into Cartoon Lagoon in search of the best and the worst cartoons ever made. Meanwhile, a motley crew spoofs PSAs and retro animated favorites, including the original “Casper The Friendly Ghost,” “The Underwater Adventures of Captain Nemo,” and “Popeye the Sailor Man.” Celebrated by Amazon Studios with the 2012 New York Television Festival Audience Award, this magical salute to Saturday morning cartoons unites “MAD TV” and “Robot Chicken” scribe Steve Borst with a lineup of veteran and breakthrough talent from The Disney Channel, Nick Jr., The Jim Henson Company, Marvel Comics, Archie Comics, WB Animation, MTV, Spike TV, “Bear in the Big Blue House,” and “Avenue Q.”

Tvoovies

The original concept for “Tvoovies” was inspired by casual conversations on the popular social news site Reddit. Created by award winning LA-based producers Cosmic Toast Studios in partnership with Starz Digital Media, “Tvoovies” is a pop culture animated mashup where hit television series collide with blockbuster films. Whip-smart, tongue-in-cheek and often outrageous, this season’s lineup, parodies the biggest titles in entertainment, including “Jurassic Parks and Rec,” “Mad X-Men,” “Indiana Jones and the Abbey of Downton” and “The Grey’s Anatomy.”

 

Check back in as we review these new properties later on in the week. New episodes of all shows on Union Pool will debut Tuesdays and Thursdays. Like the Union Pool Facebook page and Follow them on Twitter.
