Cartoon Network's original movie, Level Up delivered hilarious comedy when three high school gamers, Wyatt (Gaelan Connell), Lyle (Jessie T. Usher) and Dante (Connor del Rio), unwittingly open a portal from an online game into the real world. The boys must put aside their differences and join forces with their classmate Angie (Aimee Carrero) to work together IRL (in real life) to win the game and save the world. Level Up is created and written by Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman (both credited for Chasing Liberty) and the movie is directed by Peter Lauer (Sons of Tucson, Chuck).

Picking up where the movie leaves off, the talented cast will return in a new half-hour series Level Up, premiering in January 2012 on Cartoon Network. The original series is executive produced by Peter Murrieta (Wizards of Waverly Place, Hope and Faith).
