Cyanide & Happiness, ScrewAttack To Headline 3rd Annual Rooster Teeth Animation Festival

Rooster Teeth has announced the initial lineup of animation heavyweights slated to attend its third annual Animation Festival — which has been held during the RTX Austin convention since 2016.

This year, the Animation Festival will feature screenings and appearances by: Cyanide & Happiness (8.2 million subscribers), How It Should’ve Ended (7.6 million), Flashgitz (1.7 million), Frederator (1.6 million), Neebs Gaming (1.6 million, OnlyLeigh (385,000), and Rooster Teeth’s own ScrewAttack (3.9 million) — a channel perhaps best known for its Death Battle series that sees disparate pop culture icons attempting to murder one another.

The eighth annual RTX Austin event will be held from August 3 to 5 at the Austin Convention Center, where Rooster Teeth expects to welcome 65,000 gaming and internet culture devotees. Last year’s Animation Festival featured exclusive screenings of Netflix’s Castlevania and Adult Swim’s Apollo Gauntlet.
