Noodlesoup Productions’ The Venture Brothers won the Best Animated Television Series award at this year’s Cineme, the Chicago International Animation Film Festival. The show’s pilot aired this past February and the series is scheduled to premiere on Cartoon Network this spring. The Venture Brothers “parodies the 1960’s favorite Jonny Quest, featuring brothers Hank and Dean, their top-notch scientist father and their muscular and mullet-headed friend Brock who accidentally stumble onto adventure. From encounters with ninjas to run-ins with mummies, the boys rely on their father’s brain, the brute strength of Brock and a lot of dumb luck to untangle themselves from their hilarious escapades”. A clip of the show is available on Noodlesoup’s website.
