The comedic animated and live-action shorts will be aired on Cartoon Network in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Content include Dukes of Broxstonia, Monster Chef, Black Knight White Witch and Desdemona.
 
The 98 episodes are a collaborative effort between ACTF and Australian producers from Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania.

ACTF CEO Jenny Buckland said, “These wacky and distinctive series showcase Australia’s most talented and innovative animators and we’re very proud of them, and thrilled that their audience will increase exponentially given Cartoon Network’s extensive reach”.

Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific Chief Content Officer Mark Eyers said, “At Cartoon Network we’re always looking for great original kids’ series to animate their lives, via local partnerships or our initiatives such as SNAPTOONS. We’re really excited to be associated with ACTF for this unique collection of shorts. They‘re funny, they‘re Australian and they’re on Cartoon Network”.
