3 days ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

Yet another King of the Hill actor has died — on top of Johnny Hardwick, Brittany Murphy, Victor Aaron and Tom Petty we can now add Jonathan Joss, who took over the role of John Redcorn after the first season and would retain it through the next 12 seasons on Fox and the revival. That role was vacated by Aaron, who perished in a car crash in 1996 before KOTH could begin airing.

Will Forte has become not just a common face of live-action TV comedy, but the drawn form as well. Ever since his toon debut as Abe Lincoln on the original Clone High, his distinctive voice has been heard in all sorts of animated projects. Currently he’s Tobin in Fox’s The Great North, but soon he’ll also be the center of the Netflix series Haunted Hotel.
Netflix's One Piece Finally Reveals Chopper

5 days ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

There’s been a question mark hovering over the second season of Netflix’s One Piece adaption since it was first confirmed. If the series continued on the manga’s storyline, Season 2 would have to introduce the next member of the Straw Hat Pirates and…well, this is an interesting one. This is a live-action show and they were about to hit a character that would be impossible to depict without CG: Tony Tony Chopper. Chopper is a fan favorite, and any One Piece adaption without him would feel empty.

You might have noticed the peculiar name “Alf Clausen” standing out in the credits of most classic Simpsons episodes. The man was the show’s main musical composer starting in the second season and for over 550 episodes afterward.

Today Hulu revealed the main title sequence for the King of the Hill revival and, at last, a release date.

We now know precisely when to expect the next Pokemon Legends game, Pokemon Legends Z-A. Nintendo announced today it’s coming out for both Switch and its successor on October 16. The Switch version can be upgraded to the Switch 2 version with a $10 patch. Many Pokemon fans have said they enjoyed the first Pokemon Legends more than the mainline Pokemon game that followed it (Scarlet / Violet) because it was set in a truly open world (and also, there were far fewer glitches).
It's True: Batman Is About To Meet Deadpool

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

Remember when Marvel and DC could collaborate and do cool crossover events where Superman met Spider-Man and such? It’s too bad both companies are now owned by giant rival movie studios; we’ll never see the like again…OR WILL WE…Against all odds, a new crossover is now in the works between the Disney and WB properties: Batman/Deadpool. Or Deadpool/Batman, depending on who’s printing.

Netflix just can’t get enough animated video game adaptions. They already have Castlevania, Tomb Raider, Sonic Prime, Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Devil May Cry, and soon they’ll be adding to that Splinter Cell and…Clash of Clans? Yes, for better or worse, they’ve decided to go mobile for this next one. The series will be made in arrangement with Supercell Games, who has been pushing for an adaption of their flagship strategy title.
How Lilo And Stitch's Famous "Crossover" Ads Happened

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

The success of Lilo and Stitch was not a guarantee in 2002, given what the feature animation market was like at the time. CGI films were making money hand over fist, while traditionally animated films were increasingly ignored. Shrek had just come out, widely regarded as the game-changer and herald of 2D movies’ demise. It seemed like Lilo and Stitch would need a miracle to get noticed. They found one.
