What happens

Empire Square (abbreviated Empire Sq.) is a British animated TV series created by Matt Morgan made with pixel graphics.

From 18 April to 23 May 2006, the United States music network Fuse aired full length half-hour episodes as opposed to the 2-4 minute ones in the UK. Those half-hour episodes were later broadcast on Channel 4 from 27 October 2007 to 1 December 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
