The most exciting announcements were made about Adventure Time, which is not only getting its first feature-length film but also two spinoffs, titled Side Quests and Hey BMO, the latter of which is aimed at preschool-aged viewers.
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, which aired for six seasons (2004–2009) on Cartoon Network, is also being reimagined for a younger audience.
Another yet-untouched gem being revisited is Regular Show, which aired for eight seasons (2010–2017) on Cartoon Network, though little is known about the new series.
One of the wildest reveals was a first look at Go-Go Mystery Machine, which sends Scooby-Doo‘s Shaggy and Scooby to Japan, where they team up with a new cast of characters — including Scooby’s Japanese uncle?! — to hunt and capture monsters.
Read on for a breakdown — and in some cases, a sneak peek — of the reimagined versions of these animated favorites, whose release dates all remain very much TBD. When you’re done, drop a comment with the shows you’re looking forward to below.
The Adventure Time Movie
“Jake and Finn embark on their greatest adventure yet.” That’s all we know about Adventure Time‘s first feature film.
Adventure Time: Heyo BMO
Adventure Time will also wrangle new, younger fans via Heyo BMO, an animated series targeted at preschool-aged viewers. Heyo BMO finds the titular talking video game console moving into a new neighborhood, where he makes (and learns with) a new cast of characters.
Adventure Time: Side Quests
If you like watching Adventure Time but struggle to keep up with the franchise’s ever-expanding lore, Side Quests is the show for you. The series, which takes viewers back to when Finn the Human was still a little boy, will consist of standalone episodes featuring fan-favorite characters.
Foster’s Funtime for Imaginary Friends
The titular residency reopens its doors for a new, preschool-targeted series, in which a group of younger imaginary friends learn from “immature elder friend” Bloo, a main character from the original series. The only characters expected to return are Bloo and Madame Foster.
Original series creator Craig McCracken is attached.
Go-Go Mystery Machine
A Scooby-Doo anime? Yes, it’s happening.
“While visiting Japan on the ultimate foodie adventure, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo unwittingly unleash hundreds of mischievous mythical monsters that are now causing trouble all over the country,” per the official description.
Joining the duo on their monster-hunting quest are Scooby’s uncle Daisuke-Doo, his magical friend Etsuko and a gadget wiz named Toshiro.
Regular Show
Little is known about this one, including which popular characters from the original Regular Show may return, but that’s enough to get us excited. Plus, original series creator J.G. Quintel is back!
