This news has kind of been all over the web this week, but I’m really just kind of formulating my thoughts on it. I was excited a couple of years ago (2003, I think) when I heard that they were doing a new incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, closer in line to the black […]
Imagi Animation has done some truly stellar work, between their TMNT and Astro Boy (review here) movies. When news came a couple of years ago that they’d be doing a Gatchaman movie, I have to admit to scratching my head. My only familiarity with the property was the 2002 Top Cow Battle of the Planets […]
Ohmigodohmigodohmigod…. YOUNG JUSTICE is an all-new series produced by Warner Bros. Animation and based upon the characters from DC Comics. In YOUNG JUSTICE, being a teenager means proving yourself over and over – to peers, parents, teachers, mentors and, ultimately, to yourself. But what if you’re not just a normal teenager? What if you’re a […]
Damn, this news pisses me off. I spoke at length about how much I was LOVING Spectacular Spider-Man, the animated series run by Greg Weisman, who was also showrunner for Disney’s Gargoyles. The quality was at least on par with The New Batman Adventures, had an ongoing mythology and had progression in its characters storylines. […]
I remember a lot about the cartoons I watched as a kid – Underdog, Inspector Gadget, TMNT, Heathcliff, The Disney Afternoon, etc. – I remember most everything with a decent amount of detail. Now, I know I watched Astro Boy as a kid, but I can’t remember anything about the show for the life of […]
And what a joy it was. You wouldn’t want to live there, but it’s certainly worth an hour and twenty minutes of your time. Planet Hulk is the newest animated feature from Marvel’s Direct-to-DVD line of animated films. There have been seven in total, and five have actually featured the Hulk – Ultimate Avengers 1 […]
It’s true! Thanks to TV Shows on DVD for the news! Exclusively from Amazon’s “CreateSpace” program, which is a manufacture-on-demand program (not available in stores) comes The Maxx: The Complete Series. A cult classic that fans have long been clamoring for (and a faithful adaptation of Sam Keith’s popular Image comic series), this seems like […]
It’s true, apparently. JJ Abrams, not content to be producing and/or directing Star Trek 2, Cloverfield 2, Mission: Impossible 4, Lost, and Micronauts, will apparently also be producing a movie based on the cult favorite Samurai Jack TV show. STAR TREK director J.J. Abrams will be joining former Hanna-Barbera president Fred Seibert to produce a […]
It’s true! With the upcoming Justice League: Crisis on Two Worlds animated feature (which we told you about here), included among the bonus features will be short starring The Spectre! This is actually the first time I’ve heard of it, so I’m deadly curious as to who the Spectre will be in the short, and […]
Pretty excited about this one, actually. The trailer looks like a lot of fun. I’m not entirely sold on Dreamworks animated properties, primarily because of their focus on the actors over the quality of the story (though I did like Kung Fu Panda), but this film, despite having a pretty nice cast (Jay Baruchel, Gerard […]
