MIPJunior Spotlight: Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network is highlighting Infinity Train, a series about a coding prodigy on a mysterious train, at MIPCOM.

“Its U.S. premiere was highly anticipated by the 5 million-plus fans of the original YouTube short, and its serialized storytelling lends well to on-demand viewing,” says Humphrey Black, VP of media distribution at Turner EMEA.

Also on Cartoon Network’s slate is Apple & Onion, a warm buddy comedy packed with fun, relatable characters and universal themes. “Music is also a big element of the show that really connects with today’s kid audience,” says Black. Meanwhile, Summer Camp Island, an imaginative series from the British artist Julia Pott that was introduced at MIPJunior last year, is set in a summer camp where nothing is quite as it seems.

Black adds, “Cartoon Network has such a strong identity, and we are continuing to invest in creator-driven content that embodies those authentic brand values.”
