NEW YORK -- With only an oblique reference to the fiasco in Boston that cost Turner Broadcasting System at least $2 million, Cartoon Network unveiled Wednesday at its upfront presentation five new series and 24 new movies and events for the coming year.
The upfront presentation, held at the Time Warner Center Manhattan, spent a good chunk of its time talking up the network's commitment to new media -- VOD, gaming and a new mobile phone application -- as well as its 662 planned new episodes.
The new series include an animated series on Santo, the Silver-Masked Man, a cultural hero in Mexico, which is being created and executive produced by Carlo Olivares Paganoni; Chowder, a Carl Greenblatt series about a young chef; The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, about a young pirate; and The Secret Saturdays, about a family of scientists who travel the world to protect undiscovered phenomena.
Also getting a series order is Re-Animated, which last year had been Cartoon Network's first movie to mix live action and animation.
