Adult Swim Fun House Returns with Puzzling New Rooms

Series Panels for Fan Favorite Shows and New Series

This year at San Diego Comic-Con, Adult Swim will once again amaze and inspire fans inside and outside the convention center with an all new Adult Swim booth, unique fan experiences and celebrity filled signings and panels featuring series stars, creators and producers from the network’s most popular shows such as Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., Childrens Hospital,and Rick and Morty. Adult Swim will also offer fans a first -look at their highly anticipated new series Mike Tyson Mysteries and the live-action series starring Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Jack McBrayer. Adult Swim stars and creators on hand will include Mike Tyson, Aaron McGruder, Seth Green, Dan Harmon, Rob Corddry, Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer, Christy Karacas, and many more.  Fans can also stop by the Adult Swim booth #3721 where they can dare to pay tribute to the Goddess of Luck and beg her to deliver a gift of unforeseeable importance. The King awaits to knight the true of heart while Jokers and Fools entertain their most ravenous fans. Come one, come all. Come wait in a line that may very well change your life (for better or worse).

Adult Swim will also have a major presence at the Petco Park parking lot across from the convention center starting at 3pm Thursday, July 24 through Saturday, July 26th.  Named the #1 brand activation at last year’s convention by AdWeek, the Adult Swim Fun House will return for a second year of Robot Pumps and Spasm Chasms.  Multiple challenges will force guests to crawl, slide, and sing their way to get through this giant castle.  Don’t miss your chance to get publicly dumped.

Nestled next to the Fun House, the Meatwad Full Dome Experience will be making its debut at this year’s convention.  This familiar fast-food friend will guide guests on a journey through a mind-fudging interdimensional-space-coaster-love-canal. We are breaking theoretical physics here. Once attendees successfully escape the Dome or Fun House, they will be treated to free, live screen printed t-shirts, photo opportunities, and get to watch as others attempt to break free of the castle.  Free for all fans aged 18 and up, tickets will be distributed at the Fun House and the Dome daily starting at 12:00 p.m. and will be open Thursday, July 24 – Saturday, July 26 from 3:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. each night.

POWERPUFF GIRLS SOAR AGAIN!

Cartoon Network Announces the Return of the International Phenomenon Worldwide Debut in 2016 with All-New Television Series and Licensing Program 

After the successful airing of the re-imagined special in January, Cartoon Network today announced the global return of one of its most beloved franchises, the Emmy®-winning, The Powerpuff Girls. Slated for a 2016 launch, this reboot will include an all-new television series produced by Cartoon Network Studios and a full licensing program that will roll out across all regions. The announcement was made today by Rob Sorcher, to kick off the 2014 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

“The original Powerpuff Girls was a franchise phenomenon for Cartoon Network, paving the way for a new generation of innovative storytellers and enthusiastic fans worldwide,” said Rob Sorcher, chief content officer, Cartoon Network.  “We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice and Chemical X."

One of Cartoon Network’s most enduring original series, The Powerpuff Girls has earned two Emmy® Awards along with five nominations, as well as countless animation honors throughout its 78-episode run. The series also inspired a feature film in 2003, a tenth anniversary special, and a re-imagined CG special, “The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed” which aired on Cartoon Network in January 2014 and featured Ringo Starr. The Powerpuff Girls is one of the top-grossing Cartoon Network brands of all time, with more than $2.5 billion in retail sales generated since its debut, and has endured as a global fashion brand with a range of apparel partners and fashion collections around the world.

The Powerpuff Girls, which debuted on Cartoon Network in 1998, was created by Craig McCracken and centers on three sugar-coated superheroes whose mission in life alternates between going to school, fighting crime and winning at hopscotch.
