At the behest of Universal the folks at the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim have created a four-minute animated sequence from Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim graphic novels. The short, which animates a flashback that was not included in the Scott Pilgrim movie, chronicles the beginning of the friendship between Scott and Kim Pine, who eventually becomes the drummer in his band.
The four-minute short, entitled “Scott Pilgrim vs. the Animation,” will air on Adult Swim on Thursday, August 12th in two parts between 12 midnight (ET, PT) and 12:30 am. Edgar Wright’s film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World opens in theaters across
The short, which animates a flashback sequence from the second of the six Scott Pilgrim volumes, was produced by Titmouse, Inc., which has created numerous animated segments for Adult Swim. It makes use of O’Malley’s anime-influenced character designs and features vocal work from actors from the movie including Michael Cera, Allison Pill, Mae Whitman, and Jason Schwartzman. It will also be available for viewing on the Adult Swim Website starting on August 13th, the day the movie debuts.
