Two new clips from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves were shown to San Diego Comic-Con 2022 attendees, including one depicting a competition with the classic 1980s cartoon heroes.
The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer is finally here, which means so are the No Way Home fan trailers.
Hollywood should throw in the towel when it comes to classic cartoons, and these movies prove that.
Genndy Tartakovsky is truly unstoppable. The Russian-American animator, who has created such beloved, critically acclaimed animated series as Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and the original Star Wars: Clone Wars (and directed three hit Hotel Transylvania movies) is back at it. It was announced today that he has a new series, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, that will be headed to Cartoon Network and HBO Max. The official release states that the new show “will follow a team of ancient teen heroes as they work together to protect the world from an unforeseen omen. With themes of the supernatural weaved with …
https://youtu.be/6F-zXgmT10c October means it's time for spooky toons! We've covered our fair share of supposedly scary (but usually just silly) cartoons on the podcast over the years, but somehow we missed out on an all-time classic: The 90s animated series The Addams Family! This ooky, kooky, mysterious, and spooky series came at a time when interest in the titular family -- Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Puglsey, with Uncle Fester, Lurch, Thing, Cousin It, and Grandmama -- was running high. The cartoon was released in between the live-action The Addams Family movie and its sequel, …
Warner Bros. Animation has announced a new series called Batwheels is coming to HBO Max and Cartoon Network. If the name "Batwheels" is setting off alarm bells, I can confirm your gut-feeling is correct: This is a show about Batman's iconic Batmobile. The Batwheels announcement from Warner Bros. Animation notes production has just begun on the animated series. The new show is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Additionally, Sam Register (Looney Tunes Cartoons) serves as an executive producer. Michael G. Stern (Doc McStuffins) serves as co-executive producer and Simon J. Smith (Baymax Dreams) is a supervising producer …
https://youtu.be/Sey39EbnQBY Listen / download here: Today, I'm not just bringing you the latest episode of our long-running animation podcast Saturday Mourning Cartoons, I'm bringing you a very special and personal project. After 6 years and well over 300 episodes, our little animation-fandom podcast has finally made its own original animation in the nightmarish and hilarious IRONFACE. We made this short animated teaser trailer for the ongoing Kickstarter campaign -- of which I'm the manager and community liaison -- as a proof of concept for what the franchise could look like as an animated series. It …
https://youtu.be/fN08fRVRWwQ Listen / download here: It's back to the park we go in this week's cartoon review with Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous. The new Dreamworks Animation series, now streaming on Netflix, takes a different approach to storytelling for the continuation of the late Michael Crichton's phenomenal franchise, powered by Universal. Rather than focusing on an elite team of adult trainers, scientists, and covert spies, this version makes their characters a little more kid-friendly ... even if the carnivorous dinosaurs and rampaging giants are as dangerous as ever. But how does the new animated series compare …
https://youtu.be/dpMpaHm_O8k Listen / download here: If you want to see a bunch of powerful comic book superheroes team up to fend off extraterrestrial threats to our home planet, there's no better place to look than Marvel's Avengers Defenders of the Earth! This 1986 animated series from King Features, with development by Marvel and production from a trio of overseas studios including Toei Animation, united the bigger-than-life heroes of King Features Syndicate. Flash Gordon, Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and Lothar joined forces to defend Earth (hence the name) from the villainous intents of Ming the …
https://youtu.be/eauDD6nXznQ Listen / download here: Glitch Techs Season 2 arrived on Netflix just last week. This new batch of 10 half-hour episodes continues the adventures of glitch-hunters Miko and Five and their all-star team of Hinobi technicians. New relationships will be explored, new insight into families and friends will be revealed, and tons of pop culture and video game Easter eggs will be scattered all over the place, virtual and IRL. But how does Season 2 compare to the fantastic first season released earlier this year? As gamers from a certain generation, there's a …
https://youtu.be/8Z6hoRyOXoc Listen download here: It's rare that we absolutely shred a cartoon on our weekly animation podcast, but it's also (thankfully) rare that shows like Hoops make it all the way to a finished, widely distributed production. I guess that's the price we play for today's ubiquitous streaming services; little to no standards and practices allows artists to deliver some cutting-edge animation you wouldn't normally get on network, cable, or premium TV, but it also lacks a quality filter. That's where we come in. From Ben Hoffman and featuring the …
https://youtu.be/PQ9-7_O26Uk Listen / download here: DreamWorks delivers more Tales of Arcadia animated action in Wizards, the closing chapter of Guillermo del Toro & Co's excellent, action-packed, fantasy franchise. (Except it's not really the closing chapter; there's a movie coming out in 2021 that aims to resolve everything the 10-episode Netflix season didn't quite tie off with a bow.) But how exactly does the magic-focused series stack up when compared with fellow Tales, 3Below and Trollhunters? You can check out our own Drew Taylor's review here for one opinion, and …
https://youtu.be/MisM5n6Cl3Q Listen / download here: Get out your nippers, files, and X-Acto knives, it's time for Gunpla! We're digging into a listener recommendation and checking out Gundam Build Fighters, an anime series in the vast and varied Gundam universe that puts the focus on fans of the giant mobile suits and their small-scale plastic model kits. While this may be a kid-friendly version of the Gundam story that focuses on model-building and battling instead of space-based warfare and using orbiting colonies as a weapon of mass destruction, don't let that …
Without question, the 1990s were full of some fantastic cartoons. The expansion of original programming on cable channels like Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network (and the subsequent competition among all kids-oriented programming blocs) led to a new era of creativity, and animation that started evolving away from the previously ubiquitous Hanna-Barbera style. But what were some of the very best of the best? We at Collider dug into our mind palaces of TV nostalgia to come up with the following list of beloved 90s series, and divided up the results. But first, here’s a look …
https://youtu.be/--RoOlgK3f8 Listen / download here: Did you know The Mummy franchise had itself an animated series? We didn't either. The launch of Peacock TV brought that little nugget to our attention, so we decided to give it a watch to see how it holds up nearly 20 years later. You can watch both seasons of the series here for free, or you can watch this Season 1 sum-up "movie" The Mummy: Quest for the Lost Scrolls to get caught up on the adventure like we did. Then again, maybe you should just skip this entry in …
With most of us still under lockdown, with no new blockbusters and many TV shows getting delayed, streaming has been an incredibly popular outlet for entertainment. Millions of people were captivated by the story of Tiger King, after all, but no matter how many dozens of new movies and TV shows Netflix releases weekly, there is one show that has consistently stayed at the top 10 most popular shows on the streaming giant — and it aired on Nickelodeon in 2005. It's been 15 years since its premiere, and 10 years since M. Night Shyamalan nearly killed the franchise, but …
Recently, Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld sat down for an interview with Collider in which he offered some updates on the possibility of Deadpool 3 and a standalone Cable movie. Understandably, he wasn't able to say whether either project has been given the green light, considering the fact that movies have been put on indefinite hold. But he stresses that if a Deadpool sequel never happens, he’s already more than happy with the movies we got. "You know what? There may not be another Deadpool, and I’m fine. Because I have to live with the fact that I …
Infinity Train, Cartoon Network’s heady, for-families anthology series, is making a jump for season 3. Later this summer, the new collection of episodes will air exclusively on HBO Max. All aboard! Created by Owen Dennis, a veteran of similarly beloved oddball animated series Regular Show, Infinity Train was initially announced as a miniseries and many saw it as Cartoon Network’s spiritual successor to their outstanding Over the Garden Wall. But it soon became clear that this would be an ongoing project, with each season taking on a different vibe (with the seasons referred to as “books”) but …
