Most recently, he was head of production. In his new role, he will lead the business development and production departments across Atomic.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley will also continue to be responsible for the day-to-day operations and strategic management of Atomic, including the advancement of a strong technical and creative production pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>As president of Atomic Cartoons, Bradley will report to Jennifer Twiner McCarron, who will continue to serve as CEO of Atomic and Thunderbird Entertainment, as well as chair of Thunderbird\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley\u2019s credits at Atomic include <em>Hilda<\/em> and <em>The Last Kids on Eart<\/em>h. From his prior roles at other companies, he also has credits for <em>Legend of Three Caballeros<\/em>, <em>101 Dalmatian Street<\/em> and <em>Molly of Denali<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoel is a highly respected leader who brings a great mix of creativity, production expertise and unwavering dedication to our teams,\u201d Twiner McCarron said. \u201cHe\u2019s been instrumental in growing our kids\u2019 and family business, and his passion for supporting and uplifting team members is an invaluable asset. Joel embodies all of the key attributes we value at Atomic, including leading with kindness, compassion and empathy. Over the years, he has helped elevate our studio creatively to build the artist-friendly, collaborative culture we are proud to be known for. This is a well-deserved promotion, and I\u2019m excited to see what the future holds for our company as a result of Joel\u2019s promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m lucky to work with an extremely talented group of artists, creators and producers, all of whom inspire me every day,\u201d Bradley commented. \u201cIt is a true privilege to take on the role of president of Atomic, and I look forward to building on its already great legacy. Atomic\u2019s people-first culture and drive to make excellent cartoons is what originally attracted me to the studio. I want to continue to help our teams learn, grow and be curious and am very excited to be part of what&#8217;s to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thunderbird Entertainment has promoted Joel Bradley to the role of president of Atomic Cartoons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":30001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[458,6371,5634,3079],"class_list":["post-29999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-atomic-cartoons","tag-jennifer-twiner-mccarron","tag-joel-bradley","tag-thunderbird-entertainment","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Thunderbird Names New Atomic Cartoons President - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Thunderbird Names New Atomic Cartoons President - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Thunderbird Entertainment has promoted Joel Bradley to the role of president of Atomic Cartoons.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-07-01T12:00:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-07-01T14:10:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/07\/ThunderbirdAtomicCartoons-JoelBradley-0725.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/\",\"name\":\"Thunderbird Names New Atomic Cartoons President - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-07-01T12:00:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-07-01T14:10:05+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/thunderbird-names-new-atomic-cartoons-president\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Thunderbird Names New Atomic Cartoons President\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
