We Bare Bears at San Diego Comic Con 2016

It has been awhile since San Diego Comic Con. We are happy to share our time there especially when we were able to attend Cartoon Network's We Bare Bears press panel. Daniel Chong (Creator), Eric Edelstein (Grizz), Bobby Moynihan (Panda), and Demetri Martin (Ice Bear) were present to talk about the show. Unfortunately, there was not any bear stacking but we did have a great experience with our little cub (A big We Bare Bears fan) in the press room. Check out the roundtable interview below.

At one point during the interview (1:38), Daniel Chong discusses the importance of the baby bears and how they have more opportunities to go to more locations than the 'current day' bears. Demetri Martin even said how he sees babies everywhere and pointed out our little cub. 

After the roundtable, they noticed his cosplay for Comic Con. He had a jean jacket and a giant burrito. His jean jacket is shown below.

Little cub got to take a picture with Daniel Chong and the Bears. He was a very happy cub.

They were even nice enough to sign his tote bag. 

Daniel Chong even tweeted about the little cub and his burrito.

That time when @ericjedelstein met this little Grizz fan with a giant burrito. #ComicCon2016 pic.twitter.com/0yqp6XVaRE

It was a highlight for us at this year's San Diego Comic Con and a great first experience for the little cub.

Adult Swim's Ultimate Fan Experience at San Diego Comic Con

Adult Swim fans will be in for a real treat at 2014 Comic-Con^® International: San Diego – both literally and figuratively – thanks to unique activations from its sponsors that will combine to provide the most comprehensive fan experience both on and off the convention floor. The network announced today activations with Intel, Lexus and State Farm designed to tap into and extend fan excitement around the annual event, complete with engaging on-site activations, rewarding online experiences and creative Adult Swim on-air spots.

“As the top programming destination for millennials, advertisers recognize Adult Swim’s relationship with young adults and look to us to better align themselves with marquee events like Comic-Con,” said Joe Hogan, executive vice president, Young Adult Ad Sales for Turner Broadcasting. “With these new promotions, we have taken this extraordinary convention experience and amplified it for all of our fans, whether they’re at the con or following along at home.”

Returning for the third consecutive year, State Farm will help Adult Swim fans ready themselves for Comic-Con through a comprehensive multi-platform promotion. To kick off the campaign, the two brands will create five custom videos – two on-air spots and three digital content pieces – featuring Super Steve Frost (Nathan Barnatt), a helpful superhero invented just for the occasion. The spots will air on Adult Swim and online at a custom-created mini-site,adultswim.com/statefarm. Super Steve Frost makes his debut in a thirty-second spot that airs on the network this week and introduces three custom videos, offering fans assistance on how to create the ultimate homemade costumes, what to pack for the trip, and how to rule the con. Then, a spot providing a recap of Super Steve Frost’s experience at Comic-Con will be developed and air on Adult Swim during the week of August 18. The Super Steve Frost campaign from State Farm will be promoted across both the Adult Swim and State Farm suites of social media channels throughout the duration of the promotion.

In addition, State Farm will sponsor an Adult Swim branded “Cool Treats” ice cream truck that will feature Super Steve Frost handing out refreshing treats and special help items to con-goers throughout the weekend. The truck will be featured at various locations within the Gaslamp District and on-site at the Adult Swim Fun House and Planetarium. State Farm branding will also be featured on lockers at the Adult Swim Fun House, wherein fans can drop off their free swag from the con while they make their way through the one-of-a-kind experience.

Further, State Farm will also bring back its popular Adult Swim’s Get to a Better State Sweepstakes, featuring thegolden ticket promotion. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 24 at the Adult Swim booth (#3721), the network will distribute a custom brochure filled with details on its panels, events and off-site activations. Randomly included in select pamphlets during the first day will be 10 golden tickets, each granting one lucky fan plus one guest V.I.P. status for a host of Adult Swim happenings at this year’s con, including seating at the network’s show panels, fast pass access to the Adult Swim Fun House and Meatwad Full Dome Experience, and more. To access full rules, including eligibility, visit the Adult Swim booth (#3721) or head online to adultswim.com/viprules.

“We understand how passionate people are about the things they collect. Whether it’s comic books or costumes, action figures or autographs, State Farm protects people’s prized possessions, so they can spend time enjoying all that goes along with their passion,” said Tim Van Hoof, Assistant Vice President, Marketing, State Farm. “Comic-Con gives us a great opportunity to have some fun, and make sure people know we can help.”

Lexus will return to Comic-Con with Adult Swim as part of its “Free Rides” program that launched in 2012. Five Lexus CT Hybrid vehicles – completely wrapped in Adult Swim artwork and featuring both Adult Swim and Lexus branding – will offer Comic-Con attendees free rides throughout the Gaslamp District. Rides will be provided to individuals age 18 and over, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Inside the cars, screens mounted in the backseat will broadcast Adult Swim and Lexus content while riders sit back and enjoy the sporty comfort and luxury provided by the Lexus CT. While in San Diego, Adult Swim and Lexus will film a thirty-second custom spot on-site highlighting the Adult Swim Free Rides promotion, which will air on the network during the week of August 11 and feature footage from the convention. Additionally, Lexus will sponsor a custom microsite at adultswim.com/freerides that includes a time-lapse video of the car wrapping process, downloadable wallpaper and more.

“Our activation with Adult Swim delivers on Lexus’ commitment to authentically connect with a more youthful audience,” says Lexus Media Manager, Teri Hill.  “The CT Hybrid ‘Free Rides’ program celebrates a ‘live a full life’ and ‘free-spirited’ attitude which aligns perfectly with Comic-Con weekend and the mindset of the next generation of luxury buyers.”

New partner Intel will bring the excitement of Comic-Con home for those fans who can’t make it to the event, with its digital sponsorship of adultswim.com/panels. Launching July 21, the all-new site will feature six of the network’s most popular panels from 2013 to build excitement in advance of this year’s event. Then, on August 1, the site will be updated to include six full-length panels from this year’s event, including Robot Chicken, Rick & Morty, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Triumph, The Venture Bros. and an Adult Swim animation panel.

The Amazing World of Gumball Joins Boom! Studios Kaboom!

Join Gumball, Darwin, and all of their friends as they take on their next extraordinary adventure—comics! This June, KaBOOM!, an award-winning imprint of BOOM! Studios, and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the network, team up to bring you THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL, an ongoing comic book series based on the hit animated show created by Ben Bocquelet about a quirky family living in a mixed-media world. Gumball Watterson thinks he’s the coolest kid on the block, but his little sister Anais begs to differ, and Darwin just wants to keep them all out of trouble. Popular webcomic creators Frank Gibson (ADVENTURE TIME 2014 ANNUAL) and artist Tyson Hesse (BRAVEST WARRIORS) bring their wacky adventures to life in comics for the first time!

 

“GUMBALL pushes the boundaries of animation and features such a rich world for Frank and Tyson to explore and bring to the comic page,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “In the tradition of our ADVENTURE TIME and REGULAR SHOW comics, it’s important to us to capture the heart of what Cartoon Network has so brilliantly developed while still being additive and complementary to the overall narrative.”

Created by Bocquelet and produced by Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe, The Amazing World of Gumball has received high critical praise since its debut in 2011, having won several British Academy Children’s Awards and earning nominations in the Annie Awards. New episodes from the series’ third season will debut on Cartoon Network starting June 5 at 6:30pm ET/PT.

THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL #1 arrives in comic shops on June 18th with a cover price of $3.99 under Diamond order code APR141000. The main covers are illustrated by Missy Pena (BRAVEST WARRIORS) and Zachary Sterling (ADVENTURE TIME: PLAYING WITH FIRE), with retailer incentive covers from Paulina Ganucheau (ADVENTURE TIME: PIXEL PRINCESSES), Troy Little (Powerpuff Girls), and Sonnye Lim.
