Tune in to the special primetime preview of Animation Domination High-Def, featuring Axe Cop (9:30-9:45 PM ET/PT) and High School USA! (9:45-10:00 PM ET/PT), on Sunday, July 21. In the “Night Mission: Stealing Friends Back” episode of Axe Cop, badass crime fighter Axe Cop heads out on a special night mission with the help of his partner, FLUTE COP (Ken Marino), and sidekicks GREY DIAMOND (guest voice Rob Heubel), Army Chihuahua (guest voice Giancarlo Esposito) and LIBORG (guest voice Tyler, the Creator), when fellow superhero Bat Warthog Man’s (guest voice Vincent Kartheiser) friends go missing. Then, in the “Bullies” episode of High School USA!, upbeat and super-positive teen Marsh Merriwether (Kartheiser) learns a valuable lesson when his best friend is accused of bullying. Meanwhile, Cassandra (Mandy Moore) gets ready for the “It Gets Better After High School” high school dance.

Additional animation, including digital shorts, topical GIFs, comedy sketches and other exclusive material, is now available on adhdfox.com, the official website of Animation Domination High-Def.

Action-comedy Axe Cop follows the most badass superhero who ever existed! Operating on only two minutes of sleep a night and fueled by a diet consisting solely of birthday cake, Axe Cop and his loyal partner, Flute Cop, unleash their unique brand of vigilante justice on bad guys everywhere – including stopping Hitler from creating an army of evil zombie robots and finding the villain who killed Axe Cop’s parents. Axe Cop is the unique comic phenomenon created and written by Malachai Nicolle (age five) and his brother, Ethan Nicolle (age 30). What started as a small passion project between two brothers quickly evolved into an online sensation and was later published as a graphic novel by Dark Horse Books. Axe Cop was developed for television by Nick Weidenfeld and Judah Miller (AMERICAN DAD). Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser (Drawn Together) serve as executive producers/showrunners. The series ensemble cast includes Megan Mullally (Childrens Hospital, Will & Grace), Patton Oswalt (Young Adult, Ratatouille), Ken Marino (Childrens Hospital, Party Down), Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead) and weekly guest stars such as Giancarlo Esposito (Revolution); rapper Tyler, The Creator; Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad); Rob Huebel (Despicable Me); and Dan Harmon (Community).

Join the super-positive, millennial students of High School USA!, as they confront all the unique challenges of growing up in a modern world. Led by the painfully naïve and always upbeat MARSH MERRIWETHER, there is nothing these kids can’t put a positive spin on, from cyber-bullying to Adderall-addiction to embarrassing sexting incidents. High School USA! is created and written by Dino Stamatopoulos (Community, Mr. Show, TV Funhouse and Moral Orel), and features an all-star cast including Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) and Mandy Moore (Tangled).

Building on its more than 20 years of animation domination, Fox Broadcasting Company created the Animation Domination High-Def unit to oversee the development and production of alternative animated series, shorts and user-adapted material for its brand-new late-prime animated programming block and new digital multi-platform network. Led by former Adult Swim executive Nick Weidenfeld, the unit develops and produces original animated shorts and series, building a clear bridge for talent to develop and grow ideas in the digital arena and organically move them into the mainstream. The network has also tapped producer Hend Baghdady (Community, The Andy Milonakis Show, Crank Yankers) as the executive in charge of production for the new division. Weidenfeld and Baghdady serve as executive producers on all Animation Domination High-Def series.
