# Go! Cartoons

Go! Cartoons, stylized as GO! Cartoons, is a web series of animated shorts produced by Frederator Studios and Sony Pictures Animation. The series premiered on November 7, 2017, with the short The Summoning. It features 12 shorts, airing on VRV and Cartoon Hangover's YouTube channel. Go! Cartoons is Frederator Studios' sixth cartoon "incubator" series since 1998.

## Description

Go! Cartoons showcases animated shorts and is designed to find "tomorrow’s cartoon hitmakers". 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. As of September 1, 2023, none of the shorts have become a series. However, on February 7, 2025, it was announced that The Summoning will be released as a three-part graphic novel series published by Oni Press. The first volume will be published in fall 2025.
