If you hadn’t already noticed, Disney’s Jetix network has relaunched as Disney XD. New series have been added to the slate including a couple digital 2D projects – Kid vs. Kat (created by Rob Boutilier) and Jimmy Two Shoes (created by Edward Kay and Sean Scott). Kid vs. Kat is produced in Flash, while Jimmy Two Shoes is brought to life using Toon Boom Harmony. Jimmy Two Shoes is being produced by Breakthrough Animation and TELETOON, with help from Mercury Filmworks. Here’s title sequence:

Kid vs. Kat is from Studio B Productions and YTV Canada. Here’s the title sequence, which we showed here before:

A new Flash-animated TV series is ready to claw its way into your house. Kid vs Kat is a new comedy series aimed at children ages 6-11 “about the exaggerated conflict between a demonically malevolent cat and the beleaguered ten-year-old boy to whom it has taken a demented dislike.” The show, which is produced by Studio B Productions along with with YTV Canada and Jetix Europe, is rolling out around the world – including Canada (YTV), Europe (Jetix), South East Asia (Nick) and Australia (ABC). Rob Boutilier created the show. Here’s the title sequence:

Here in LA, it was 95 degrees this weekend, so it feels odd to be writing this… but a new Christmas movie will soon debut on TV. The Side Show Christmas, a 44-minute Flash-animated special, will air on the French TELETOON network at 5pm EST on December 7th, and then in English on TELETOON on December 12th. Tim Tyler’s Saskatchewan-based Cheshire Smile Animation partnered up with Studio B Productions to create this film about “a side show owner who kidnaps Santa in a wild scheme to save the family business.” Here’s a promotional clip from the project…

Warner Premiere Motion Comics has officially launched a series of new Flash-animated Peanuts shorts on iTunes. This first batch is based on comics from Charles Shultz’ 1964 strips.

Aimed at the 4-8 crowd, Martha Speaks is a new Flash-animated series that debuted on PBS KIDS last week. This new half-hour series is produced by WGBH Boston and Studio B Productions, and I also noticed that Top Draw joined in for layout work. The show is based on the premise of “what if your dog could talk,” and it follows a successful book series by Susan Meddaugh. The animation directors on the show are Nicola Humphrey, Jos Humphrey and Ishi Rudell.
