SDCC: Cartoon Network Unleashes the Ultimate Fan Experience at Comic-Con

Get ready for an epic summer event with Cartoon Network at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with debut panels of fan-favorites, The Powerpuff Girls, We Bare Bears and a first-of-its-kind musical panel of the critically-acclaimed Steven Universe that will have everyone singing alongside Grammy Award-winner Estelle, creator Rebecca Sugar and other key cast and crew.

Soaring high above the convention floor, larger-than-life balloons of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup will be suspended above the Townsville-inspired booth (#3735), where convention goers can immerse themselves in all things sugar, spice and everything nice. Fans can also walk away with their own, one-of-a-kind, custom-printed t-shirt or tote bag using the wildly popular Powerpuff Girls avatar maker, outfitted with designs and accessories exclusive to Comic Con.

Cartoon Network’s Screening and Costume Ball also makes its eagerly anticipated return, offering an inside look at hit shows and a sneak peek at the upcoming global franchise Ben 10. Cartoon Network will also unveil a clip from Mighty Magiswords, its first-ever digital property to go linear.

Adventure Time enthusiasts can put their Card Wars skills to the test with an all-day Adventure Time Card Wars Tournament! Other Cartoon Network series featured at San Diego Comic-Con include Teen Titans GO! and Justice League Action.

Below is a list of all panels, fan events, screenings and signings Thursday, July 21 – Saturday, July 23.  Events as well as series producers and talent scheduled to appear are subject to change.
