Further supporting evidence to aid the case study, look who attended the CN Corrida running event in Rio today.....

I guess that makes me a skilful psychic, or a master of the bleeding obvious.

The Olympics is an international event, it would be silly not to air these outside Brazil and Latin America.

Well color me surprised. To be fair though, AT's art style isn't exactly super complex, so there might be a lot of imitators. But hey, they were one shot mascots that got a show, that's great.

This is very exciting. I could see this airing in a style similar to Mixels; as that series also consists of 2 minute shorts, CN could air the show as interstitials.

Here is another article, this time from the Paralympic website.

One thing is for sure; ever since I started this thread we have found more and more evidence to prove that Cartoon Network was (and still is) a big influence of the 2016 Olympic Mascot. I think this case study hit the target and proved the aforementioned.

Vinicius and Tom: Natural Entertainers will start on August 5, 2015. There will be 32 2 minute shorts.
