Inkubate

Fox Broadcasting and sister studio 20th Century Fox Television announce the creation of “Fox Inkubation,” a a new department focused entirely on animation. We’ve lured Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s executive, Jennifer Howell, to run it and find the next cartoon blockbuster.

Writer/animators will receive funding to produce a set of completed 2-minute shorts. If the material shows promise, they will advance through the production process to make more. They may even be teamed with an experienced producer to bring the idea to pilot and ultimately series. There’s already plans to syndicate and viral market these shorts.
