DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation have revealed first looks of Super Mutant Magic Academy, Keeping Up With The Joneses and Living the Dream ahead of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
Peter Safran (Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, DC Studios) and Sam Register (President, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe) will attend the fest, hosting a panel with top creatives.
Cartoon Network’s Super Mutant Magic Academy is an animated comedy melodrama about the unusual humans and mutants that attend an ailing public boarding school. Netflix’s Living the Dream from George Gendi follows a couple of really cool guys from London who should have made it big by now but haven’t but still could, while Adult Swim’s Keeping up with the Joneses charts the Newberry family as they try to “keep up” with their staggeringly wealthy Dallas neighbors.
Each will be discussed at Annecy, which starts next month. There will also be a previously announced screening of Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall.

Safran and Register, meanwhile, will host a panel featuring executive producers Tom King (Mister Miracle), Rick Morales (Creature Commandos), Jake Wyatt (My Adventures with Superman, My Adventures with Green Lantern), Josie Campbell (Starfire!), and Matt Beans (DC Super Powers).
Register said: “Annecy continues to be one of the most important global gatherings for the animation community, celebrating the artistry and innovation that move our industry forward. From expanding the next era of DC animation with our partners at DC Studios to showcasing original voices across our studios, our programming this year reflects the range, ambition, and creative momentum driving everything we do.”
Netflix was first out the blocks last week with an Annecy slate that included a first look at Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats.
