Nicktoons Film Festival

The Nicktoons Animation Festival (also known as the Nicktoons Network Film Festival) was an annual event that was created by producer Fred Seibert and produced for its first three years by his Frederator Studios.[1] The festival featured a selection of animated shorts (10 minutes and under) from around the globe. Shorts selected for the festival had the chance to be aired on Nicktoons Network, online and to be showcased at a live event in Los Angeles in October. Several prizes were awarded each year. Animators under 18 years old were eligible to enter the Greater Creator Contest. 2009 was the final season of the festival.

Legacy

Frederator Studios has persisted in the tradition of surfacing new talent, characters, and series in several ways, with The Nicktoons Film Festival being the first to present short cartoons already produced by independent filmmakers around the globe. This tradition has continued online with their Channel Frederator Network, the world's largest animation network, with over 3000 members who produce and program their own YouTube animation channels. Some of the most notable entries include To a Man with a Big Nose, Kiwi!, Kenya and Magical Trevor, the Ape Escape trilogy of shorts, The Mouschist, Prey, Pigly, Loco Melones, Super Scout, The Naive from Loli Land, and Welcome to My Life.

To a Man with a Big Nose was selected for the 2006 Fargo Film Festival in addition to being a Nicktoons Film Festival Entry, Kiwi! and both weebl's Kenya and Magical Trevor were considered major internet memes at that time, The Mouschist was created by Courage the Cowardly Dog creator John R. Dilworth, the Ape Escape trilogy of shorts promoted the games at the time, and the three were precursor shorts—Super Scout, The Naive from Loli Land, and Welcome to My Life—would eventually become precursor to Nickelodeon's own The Mighty B! and both Cartoon Network's Regular Show and a failed pilot for Welcome to My Life.

Simultaneously, Frederator has produced 250 original short cartoon films with several cartoon shorts "incubators," including (as of 2016): What A Cartoon! (Cartoon Network, 1995), The Meth Minute 39 (Channel Frederator, 2008),[5] Random! Cartoons (Nickelodeon/Nicktoons, 2008), Too Cool! Cartoons (Cartoon Hangover, 2012), and GO! Cartoons (Cartoon Hangover, 2016).[6] These laboratories have spun off notable series like: Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Fairly OddParents, Nite Fite, Fanboy & Chum Chum, Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors, Rocket Dog, and Bee and PuppyCat.
