Nick Makes Saturday Morning Cartoons Cool Again

With prime time booked solid with live-action hits like iCarly, Victorious and Big Time Rush, Nickelodeon is loading up on that time-honored standard, the Saturday morning cartoon.

Over the course of the next three years, Nickelodeon will roll out 450 hours of new animation programming, a commitment that will cover every genre from original cartoon shorts to CGI mashups. Nearly half (200 hours) of this new content will premiere in 2012.

Among the high-profile shows that will kick off each weekend are a new 30-minute strip from DreamWorks Animation, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and a CG-animated reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.
