Cartoon Network fans! There's a new playground to hang out with your favourite characters this June School Holiday! Pan Pan, Grizzly, Ice Bear from We Bare Bears are joined with The Powerpuff Girls, Finn, Jake and friends from Adventure Time as well as Ben 10!
From Saturday 26 May to Sunday 10 June, Cartoon Network Animate Your Life will transform Gardens by the Bay’s Bayfront Plaza into a thriving world of cartoons. The festival will offer a fairground of fun inflatable obstacle courses, carnival games and creative workshops.
Huney'Z World was there a few days ago and recce the festival for the lowdown. The festival is mainly separated into 4 different sections. Townsville where The Powerpuff Girls hangout, Land of Ooo for the ultimate Adventure Time, Bear Cave in San Francisco to find the Bear Trio or hang out at the Ben 10 Boot Camp to train up with your favourite heroes.
Entering the festival ground, we are already greeted by the adorable Ice Bear, Pan Pan and Grizzly. They are littered all over the festival grounds, you will definitely be taking endless selfies with them and if you get tired, why not have a break within the Bear Cave?
Charlie is also hidden within the mountains, spot him as you bounce around in the We Bare Bears Drop Lodge. Join the brothers in the inflatable log ride or scale that mountain and slide down into a colourful ball-pit.
Next to the bears, you will find the Land of Ooo. Finn, Jake, BMO, Lady Rainicorn, Ice King, Princess Bubblegum and even Lumpy Space Princess is here waiting for you to join them in the bubbly fun.
Jake and Lady Rainicorn transforms and pulls into a maze where you have to go through different obstacles to find Jake and BMO. Be careful where you go as there are some tricky directions that might get you lost...
If you are done navigating through the maze, take a breather at the magical Candy Kingdom and join your favourite Princess Bubblegum and Lumpy Space Princess for more photos under the Gumball Guardian. Kids will definitely be loving the bubbles like I did! 😍
Going on, it’s Hero Time with Ben 10 and his family and friends. I'm not very familiar with this animation, but I bet the boys will have an amazing time joining Ben Tennyson in harnessing the power of the Omnitrix.
Ben 10's Aliens like Gax, Fourarms, Heatblast and Cannonbolt have all gathered to help you through the journey and all ready for group photos. But beware of the trick mirrors set up around, don't get lost in those quirky reflections!
Lastly, it's every little girl's favourite power trio as you enter the famous city of Townsville.
Join in their fight against Mojo Jojo or soar with Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup on a giant trampoline ride! Cartoon Network has also partnered with local artist group, Band of Doodlers, to create a special Powerpuff Girls tribute. The live installation is already unveiled on Sunday, 27 May and everyone is invited to leave their mark!
