Fans saw exclusive footage and clips from upcoming episodes of Fish Hooks, Gravity Falls and a look at upcoming series, Wander Over Yonder. A music video for each show premiered at the panel - Fish Hooks' music video was "Hey Hey What What".
Panelists: "Fish Hooks" creator/executive producer Noah Z. Jones and executive producer Maxwell Atoms and voice talent Justin Roiland ("Oscar") and Kari Wahlgren ("Shellsea"). The panel was moderated by Eric Coleman, Senior Vice President, Original Series, Disney Television Animation.
The Fish Hooks Prom Poster was given away at the show's panel.
Jones spoke to La411 about the Fish Hooks panel. "It was really amazing – the room was filled and during the signing we ran out of posters," recalled Jones. "It's great for fans to have the opportunity to connect to the people they love. It's so rare and such a joy to see. "So much as evolved since the first show, we know what works now. The studio that is creating our animation has become more comfortable and familiar with the intricacies of the animation style and the characters," said Jones. "In looking to simplify the style and bring it back to the way it was in the beginning we have been able to explore story lines that we weren't expecting to explore in the beginning."
