‘Team Unicorn’ cast starts to come together for Adult Swim pilot

The producers of Robot Chicken are continuing to expand their talents as the live-action/animated pilot Team Unicorn that was announced last year is beginning to put together the pieces for a pilot that is being written by Dan Milano (Greg the Bunny) . The show is more of a spoof of Saturday Morning Cartoons and the shitty live-action morning shows of yesteryear and from the sounds of it the cast is rather stellar. Here’s an excerpt from a press release:

The Team Unicorn Saturday Action Fun Hour! pilot for Adult Swim has been cast and is currently in production. Danger Maiden Productions’ Clare Grant and Rileah Vanderbilt will executive produce and star alongside original Team Unicorn member Milynn Sarley (How I Met Your Mother) and Alison Haislip (Attack of the Show) as both Team Unicorn and their cartoon counterparts. Jane Lynch (Glee) voices the villainous Dark Puba, Alan Tudyk (Suburgatory) voices her sidekick, Chummy Cherub, Tara Strong (The Fairly Odd Parents) voices Billy, the boy with the ability to summon Team Unicorn, and Kevin Shinick (Mad) is the show’s announcer, a staple of the cartoon shows that inspired the pilot.

Dan Milano (Greg the Bunny) wrote the pilot, a modern twist on Saturdaymorning-style cartoon/live action hybrid shows but Team Unicorn is definitely for adults. The Team Unicorn Saturday Action Fun Hour! explores the adventures of the four mythical unicorn heroines who masquerade as human girls. Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich serve as executive producers for Stoopid Buddy Stoodios.

No word yet as to where this pilot would show up, like I’m wondering if Adult Swim is going to do a bunch of pilots on AdultSwim.com akin to last year when they did the Pilots program. Either way, this isn’t the only pilot that Stoopid Buddy is working on as the guys are working on a series for Xbox Live.
