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:

The US launch of The Amazing World of Gumball, which we’ve been covering over on Lineboil, is scheduled for May 9th, and it will be the first series to emerge from the London-based Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe team. This group, which is helmed by Daniel Lennard, is tasked with incubating new series, and you’re about to get a sneak peek at the next contenders. Six 3-minute pilots, some of which has been finished for 2 years, and all of which were produced in Flash (in concert with Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects), are now available for viewing on the YouTube. I’m including my particular favorites below, but they’re all worth a look. I feel like I should almost break this into several posts, because these videos include some of the best Flash-animation we’ll post all year. Please post your comments below on which shows you want to see on Cartoon Network. Lots of production art and details over on Chris Garbutt’s blog.

High School wiener “Pinky Malinky” is a four-foot-tall bright pink hotdog sausage who must find the courage to stand up to the school bully.

I got confirmation yesterday that this episode of Problem Solverz below was indeed animated in Flash. In fact, much of the crew from Fosters Home From Imaginary Friends (including Eric Pringle) worked on the project , which is now coming to Cartoon Network in 2011. It’s the creation of Ben Jones (Paper Rad collective, and the Adult Swim pilot Neon Knome) and Eric Kaplan (the story editor on Futurama, amongst other things). Prepare yourself – this isn’t your father’s Cartoon Network series:
