Cartoon Network will be returning to WonderCon Anaheim this year, with panels and signings for several of its most popular shows.
According to Regular Show prop designer Bob Cavin, the network is set to take over the convention on Friday, April 18, with returning series Regular Show, and newcomers to the con including Steven Universe, Uncle Grandpa, and Clarence. Notably absent from the list are Adventure Time and Teen Titans Go, both of which attended the convention in 2013.
Yesterday’s official announcement of the Autograph area appearances included several Adventure Time voice actors (including Jessica DiCicco, Kent Osborne, Hynden Walch, and Niki Yang), but a panel or signing for the show wasn’t included in the information Cavin provided us. So – full disclaimer – we’re going to say don’t count it out until CCI releases the official WonderCon schedule in the coming weeks.
[Update] We’ve now learned from Cavin that Adventure Time will be attending WonderCon, with both a signing and a panel on Saturday, April 19. We’ve updated the schedule below to reflect that.
