Happy birthday to Genndy Tartakovsky, now at 56!

Sym-Bionic Titan, Star Wars: Clone Wars, Samurai Jack and Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal are his most kino of works IMO...

and we arguably are in the worst era of animation, but the presence of Genndy Tartakovsky's works on linear television are always a light of hope, even in this decade, and I can NOT take "Crisis on Infinite Mirths" for granted.

GUYS. GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY JUST RELEASED THE FIRST TWO PAGES OF THE UNRELEASED EPISODE 21 OF SBT!!!!!

Fourteen YEARS with NO NEW CONTENT of this tragically cancelled show, it's like a message from a dead-and-buried grave! Does this mean it's being considered to be revived? Or is Tartakovsky giving up and will give us the 10 unreleased episodes that are locked away in some CN vault? Honestly the show is so old now that if it did come back the way it was intended it'd be kinda retro, which is cool I think.

Anyway, HERE IT IS. I attached two screenshots but give the post some love! I found it on Instagram as part of his 'Post-A-Palooza' - whatever that is. I'm not super on Instagram so I'm so glad I stumbled across this, lol. It's his February 27th 2025 post (oh wow this has been out for months and I had no idea), link below.

We get to see the Modula take control of a Megabeast! Learn a bit of how the Mutraddi got control of the Megabeasts to invade Galaluna. I can practically hear Modula's deep voice in these lines.

I'm going to hold onto this forever. It's two stink'n pages but I love them so much. Here's the link.

Cartoon Heroes Paper Cut-Outs

Sym-Bionic Titan

Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Bryan Andrews and Paul Rudish for Cartoon Network, Sym-Bionic Titan tells the tale of three extraterrestrial refugees from the war-torn planet of Galaluna who have crash landed on Earth.  Remarkably, Earth is quite similar to Galaluna; the atmosphere is breathable and native Galalunans can easily pass as human.   

The escapees include Ilana  (voiced by Tara Strong) who is the kind, teenage princess of the Galalunan king; her young and stern-tempered bodyguard, Lance (voiced by Kevin Thoms) and an advanced bio-cybernetic android named Octus (voiced by Brian Posehn).  Among his many features, Octus can project holograms allowing him to pass as either Ilana and Lance’s father or their peer.  This allows the three to easily blend in to the small Illinois town where they have found themselves marooned.  

Whilst navigating the various trials of being teenagers trying to adjust to a new school and new surroundings, the trio must also fend off various weapons and creatures that have been sent after them by General Modula who wishes to kill the princess and thus complete his conquest of Galaluna.  

Fortunately Ilana and Lance are outfitted with individual armor that provides more than ample protection. When the gravest of dangers appears, Octus activates the sym-bionic defense program where he, Ilana, and Lance unite as ‘Heart (Ilana), Body (Lance) and Mind (Octus)’ coming together to form the formidable mecha-giant, Sym-Bionic Titan. In their unified form, the Titan is capable of defeating whatever monstrous menace General Modula sends their way.
