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.
