Welcome to the community thread for Cartoon Network's latest miniseries Infinity Train!

D_NUX9OXoAAT6vi.jpg:large

Infinity Train is a ten episode Cartoon Network miniseries from the mind of Owen Dennis who formerly worked on the acclaimed series Regular Show. Originally released as a short on Cartoon Network's YouTube channel back in November of 2016. Cartoon Network confirmed it as a full series in March 2018 and released a teaser confirming that Infinity Train would be a series and would premiere in 2019.

Plot Summary
Infinity Train follows the story of a young girl from Minnesota named Tulip as she attempts to escape from a mysterious train full of different traps, dangers, and even different dimensions. To get off the train Tulip will have to rely on her wits and the new friends she makes on the train, One-One the robot and Atticus the talking corgi king.

Characters
Tulip Olsen(VA: Ashley Johnson)

latest

Tulip Olsen is the main character of Infinity Train. She is a twelve year old girl from Minnesota who lives with her mother and separately from her father due to her parent's recent divorce. After her parents are forced to break a promise they made to her to bring her to a game design camp due to scheduling issues Tulip takes it upon herself to travel to the camp alone. She somehow ends up becoming trapped on the titular 'Infinity Train' and must somehow escape with her life.

Tulip is smart and technically savvy being able to solve complex coding problems at a fairly young age. She is a very logical person which causes her trouble when she attempts to figure out the mysteries of the train which contradicts all normal logic by its very nature. She has a goal focused attitude which can lead to her sounding selfish at times, but she will set her desires aside if the situation is dire.

One-One(VA: Owen Dennis(Sad-One), Jeremy Crutchley(Glad-One))

latest


One-One is a robot and the first companion Tulip meets on the Infinity Train. One-One has two distinct personalities, one pessimistic and sad, and one optimistic and chipper known as Sad-One and Glad-One. Sad-One is constantly pessimistic often stating a negative outcome for the next action that the group will take, but they sometimes say something that will inspire the others due to the surprising wisdom they can have at times. Glad-One is always optimistic and takes to everything with energy and positivity, they are so positive in fact that they lack almost any sense of self-preservation which can lead to putting themselves and the others in danger. Not much is known about One-One, but they have been on the train for their entire life and Tulip first encounters them as the head on a snow man in a winter car.


Atticus the Corgi King

1000


Atticus is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi and the ruler of Corginia a kingdom of Corgis located in one of the cars on the Infinity Train. Atticus is brave and responsible and is always looking out for the good of his people. Despite having the intelligence of a human Atticus often acts like one would expect a dog to requesting things like belly rubs and struggling when Tulip tries to carry him over a river despite requesting that she does so in the first place.



Schedule
Infinity Train will air beginning Monday August 5th, 2019 through Friday August 9th, 2019 with two new episodes a night on Cartoon Network and run every weeknight at 7:30 p.m. eastern with the episodes being put on Cartoon Network's app and website soon after. Those who are unable to watch the rest of the week will be able to catch every episode on Friday August 9th, 2019 starting at 5:30 p.m. eastern.

Not sure, if you can't watch on their website or if they're not showing it on tv your best bet will probably be to purchase it on itunes or something when it comes out on there

Looking forward to this. I liked the new first episode more than the pilot, and I liked the pilot just fine.

Yesssss it's finally here. First two episodes were very promising. Can't wait to find out more about the number, and also what is this train?? Obviously it's not infinitely long, but... where the heck is it? Where is it going? What is its purpose?

There were some very obvious points where they established how Tulip is going to grow throughout the series (her parents' divorce, her "work before fun" attitude). I hope they pull it off.

Like I mentioned, I liked the first episode when it aired earlier. Second episode was just alright. I'm kind of surprised they didn't just cover the material from the pilot in the second episode (promos showed they're going to redo that story).

Finally got to watch them. Got a feeling that's not the last we've seen of the cat.

I liked this quite a bit. Will probably rewatch the first two with our middle child tomorrow before watching the next two.

was that Kate Mulgrew as the cat? Also I'm seeing theories that the number on Tulip's hand may correspond to her bouts of selfishness vs. when she's being selfless.

Okay, so the new episodes were real good. Based on what I've seen so far, I'm glad they went with the miniseries approach.

Word Up was a big highlight. Too bad we missed the
Kambucha car

stupid roadtrips with families are precious memories, don't underestimate the emotional impact of dumb catchy song

also Atticus is great

I liked these two episodes. The remake of the pilot was better than the original, I suppose in part due to it not having to set up the premise. And Tulip's attempts at singing were cute.

Idk some of the wrighting when tulip was talking to oneone felt kinda forced, otherwise it was very good. Interested to see what ends up happening with the cat showing up again.

This was a really strong set of episodes. Hoping for some good old zetsubou in the upcoming episodes.

I did think it was strange that Tulip is established as going through great pains to find a pattern in all this yet she someone doesn't put one and one together to get that One-One has some connection to the train itself and the Conductor.

she kind of stopped caring about the mystery overall as of the episode before this, i guess she figures that trusting the way forward than questioning it is the best way to go about it? shes actively covering the hand with a glove and is ignoring if her number changes or not

i feel like she was also more concerned with one-one acting strangely than if they had anything to do with the connection to the train or conductor- her priorities seem to be very tunnelled which is good in some situations and bad in others; since theyve established she will in fact, try the same solution until literally forced to take another path towards the answer, i dont feel like its too out of character for her to not immediately put a hypothesis about one-one's behavior. i think she noted it but she doesn't really seem too concerned about a pattern because there really wasn't anything to set off one-one's behavior specifically.

Two very strong episodes tonight, both focused on completely different aspects of the journey.

I like Reflection Tulip. That was really cool. This show has so many interesting things going on, I am endlessly fascinated by this train.

I kinda believe that the original intent was to actually kill Atticus but they weren't allowed to. he'll probably be back
