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.

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:

Hero:108 “follows the mythic adventures of Lin Chung, Mystique Sonia, Jumpy GhostFace and Mighty Ray as they fight to bring peace to a Hidden Kingdom where a war between animals and humans is raging,” and the series is a co-production by Gamania Digital Entertainment, Mike Young Productions, Moonscoop, and Cartoon Network Europe. They’ve recently launched a website and a Facebook page. Join either site by tomorrow, May 15, and you’ll automatically be entered in a drawing for a limited edition vinyl toy (inset). By way of Executive Producer, Rita Street, we’ve also landed an exclusive clip – an animatic-to-animation comparison. I really dig those rectangular clouds.
