Animation Supercon 2009 Announced for Oct. 2-4, 2009 Featuring Cast Reunions from Futurama and Pinky & The Brain
Miami, FL – Anime Supercon (ASC) is now Animation Supercon, as it returns for a 4th year to an all new, bigger & better location; the Doubletree Miami Airport Hotel and Convention Center.

Set for October 2-4, Animation Supercon is a three day festival and convention dedicated to Animation, Cartoons, Anime, Comic Books and Video Games.
