Description

Go! Cartoons showcases animated shorts and is designed to find "tomorrow’s cartoon hitmakers". [5] Each cartoon short can act as a pilot, with the most successful cartoons having an opportunity to be produced as a full series on Cartoon Hangover or elsewhere. Several animated television series have started in similar incubator-type formats, including Adventure Time and Bee and PuppyCat .

The project began in 2014 when Frederator Studios and Sony Pictures Animation called for pitches from animators around the world. Twelve five-minute shorts were produced, and one would become a limited series on Cartoon Hangover. [6] As of September 1, 2023, none of the shorts have become a series.
