    Emphasis is mine.

    McCracken’s original “Foster’s” targeted 6-11s, while the new “Foster’s Home” is [targeting] preschool; the unveiled “Adventure Time” titles include a preschool show, “Heyo BMO,” and a family feature “Adventure Time Movie.”

    McCracken [of Foster's fame] has promised the same fast pace but a fun, simpler structure and less cynical humor.

    Western animation was pretty much decimated over the course of the pandemic, so seeing anything get approved is a plus for animation workers and new SCAD grads. Though it seems beancounters are seemingly viewing the rabid success of Elsa-gate brainrot for toddlers on youtube kids as the only market worth investing in.

    At least the Regular Show project will probably be more of the same but with different characters. J.G. Quintel's style of dialog can work for just about anything, so there's hope.

      I remember hearing a couple years ago that Cartoon Network was shifting gears to focus on preschool audiences over its typical demographic. I guess this is further proof of that.

    Would be nice if there was another franchise that Warner animation was interested in doing more with, maybe something that rhymes with 'Binfinity Brain.' But I guess it's not that sort of whizbang...
