LEGO Group and Cartoon Network: Building Future Fans

Saturday, March 12
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 12AB
531 E 4th St

Pp53229

Over the last several years, two of the most creative names in the kids space, LEGO Group and Cartoon Network, have found themselves naturally drawn together to partner on new ways of telling stories to their shared audience. At this panel, learn how these two companies, driven more by their cultures of collaboration and experimentation than by any overt business objective, worked together to build a smash hit (Ninjago) and in just a year jointly created the multiplatform toy/digital/shorts property, Mixels.

This session is part of Convergence Programming at SXSW 2016 and open to all Film, Interactive, Gold, and Platinum badgeholders. If this session is scheduled on Monday, March 14 or Tuesday, March 15, then it is also open to all Music badgeholders.
