Fox contest seeks animated ideas

May 17, 2009 The network is teaming with animation studio Aniboom to launch a contest where animators can submit holiday-inspired short films for cash prizes. "Fox has long been the sole primetime animation powerhouse, and we're searching for a fresh new animated holiday special that could potentially become an instant classic and maybe even a weekly series," said Fox president Kevin Reilly. By tapping into Aniboom's community of undiscovered talent, we hope to find the next original hit holiday concept, like 'Simpsons Treehouse of Horror' or 'A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas.'
