In addition to "Powerpuff Girls," which aired originally from 1998 to 2005, Cartoon Network will introduce an animated comedy about bears trying to assimilate with human culture ("We Bare Bears") and a digital series about warriors who collect magical swords ("Mighty Magiswords").

Adventure Time, which follows a boy and his magically-powered dog, will be entering Season 7. A few of other 11 returning shows are "Pokemon the Series: XY," "The Amazing World of Gumball," and "Clarence," which said goodbye to showrunner Skyler Page in July amid sexual harassment allegations.

Cartoon Network also detailed plans for a handful of special events slated for 2015-2016, including a "Steven Universe"/"Uncle Grandpa" crossover, a "Regular Show" movie and an "Adventure Time" miniseries. Additionally, the network has acquired three pre-existing shows for its new slate: "Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race," "Transformers: Robots in Disguise" and "Supernoobs."

"Digital, mobile and TV have all come together for this new generation of kids, who are very comfortable with the sheer volume of choice; and when you deliver compelling original content and innovative ways of experiencing it, they will find it, engage with it and share it on every platform," she continued.

As part of its Upfronts presentation, the animated network is boasting double digit growth and a rankings increase in its key demographic (kids 6 to 11). For boys 6 to 11 the outlook is even better, with seven out of TV's Top 10 shows for that demographic airing on the Cartoon Network.
