The Excitement Around MeTV Toons at Comic-Con

Every year at San Diego Comic-Con, there is one panel that stands out for animation fans. This year, it is MeTV Toons. The panel brings together many well-known voices and respected names in animation. Bob Bergen, the official voice of MeTV Toons, will be there. Animation historian Jerry Beck will join him. Eric Bauza, a two-time Emmy Award winner, will also take part. Jeff Bergman and Candi Milo are joining as well, and both are known for decades of voice work on classic animated shows.

Neal Sabin, the Vice Chairman of Weigel Broadcasting, will be part of the discussion, too. His role adds a network perspective to the conversation. Variety’s Michael Schneider will moderate the panel. He leads fast, lively discussions, so fans should expect a fun and informative session filled with stories, insights, and behind-the-scenes moments.

Why This Panel Is Special for Animation Fans

MeTV Toons launched on June 25. It is a new TV home for classic cartoons. The panel will focus on the network’s shows and why they continue to matter today. Fans will also get a first look at plans to celebrate Bugs Bunny’s 84th birthday on Saturday, July 27, 2024. It is amazing that the character is turning 84, yet still feels fresh. Attendees will also receive a collectible MeTV Toons giveaway item.

Details for Attending Comic-Con in Person

The panel will take place at the San Diego Convention Center in Ballroom 6A, at 111 W. Harbor Drive. Ballroom 6A is a popular room for major Comic-Con sessions. It is large, but still has an intimate feel. The MeTV Toons panel is scheduled for Friday, July 26, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I plan to arrive early because I expect a full room. When this many animation professionals sit down together, fans show up.

Why This Conversation Matters Right Now

I care about MeTV Toons because it gives classic animation a real home again. Many streaming platforms bury older cartoons, and we lose the history and craft behind them. MeTV Toons treats these shows with respect. It keeps them in front of new audiences while reminding long-time fans why they fell in love with animation in the first place. I am looking forward to hearing the panel’s stories, taking notes, and feeling the energy of a room full of cartoon fans. If you plan to be at Comic-Con, stop by Ballroom 6A for this event because it will be a highlight of the convention.
