ANDRE 3000 BRINGS ‘CLASS’ TO CARTOON NETWORK: November debut of rapper’s series follows a ‘mocumentary’ setup.
*Cartoon Network is using the old Teena Marie phrase “sophisticated funk” to describe the vibe of its latest offering, “Class of 3000,” the animated half-hour series created, voiced and scored by Andre “3000” Benjamin of OutKast.
The show centers on Sunny Bridges (Benjamin), a music superstar and Nobel Peace Prize winner who gives up his glamorous life to teach a group of gifted musical prodigies at his old Atlanta alma mater.
Before the show’s one-hour season premiere on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m., Cartoon Network will air the half-hour special “Sunny Bridges: From Bankhead to Buckhead” on Friday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. The “mockumentary” chronicles the life of the fictional superstar with interviews from the character's fans and celebrity friends.
As previously reported, “Class of 3000” will feature a new song every week from Benjamin within the context of a music video. Benjamin also wrote and performed the series' theme song.
