Six years after our interview with Joey So and Todd Kauffman about their series Sidekick, it’s set to arrive on Cartoon Network in the US. Starting on June 13th, the Flash-animated series will begin airing at 3:30pm. Below you can get a sneak peek at what the show now looks like:

Check out this super-stylish Flash-animated Ident for OFFF Madrid, which is a tourning post-digital culture festival. The piece was directed by Cocoe, and the animation direction was handled by Rubén García. After Effects was also used in the production pipeline.

As you are all surely aware, today is Towel Day. Errr… what? Okay, it’s not a huge deal yet, but Towel Day is a tribute to Douglas Adams, the author of such books as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s actually observed in dozens of countries, with followers carrying around a towel in Adams’ honor. Why, a towel? Here’s the quote from THGTTG, “A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” And on that note, enjoy this animated short that was designed by Eran Mendel and animated by Oren Mashkovski.

We’ve already written about Dan Vs., the Flash-animated series on The Hub. As it turns out, there’s another Flash-animated series on the network – My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I think I rolled my eyes when I heard about this series the first time, but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll see that the team behind the show is rather impressive. Lauren Faust, who wrote on The Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, developed the series retread, and Jayson Thiessen is the Supervising Director. You may have seen some of Jayson’s work here CHF in the past, and Rob Renzetti (creator of My Life as a Teenage Robot) is the show’s story editor. I also know many CHF readers have worked on the series, and there’s some top-notch Flash animation throughout. Pre-production is handled out of Los Angeles, and physical animation is produced at Studio B. Here’s a sample:

It’s worth mentioning that this series has fueled a meme, and terms like Bronies, Colts and Derpy Hooves have popped up on 4chan and, yes, PonyChan.

Here’s yet another solid short from Kilogramme which was commissioned by ViralFilms, who were after a Yogi Bear style. Claire Grey directed, Craig Knowles handled character design, while David Ridges managed BGs. The trio then animated in Flash together. The 1:30 minute piece promotes fire safety:
