90s Spider-Man Cartoon To Continue As Comic Book

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

There was an interesting shot included in the season finale of X-Men 97 last year: what appeared to be the Fox Kids version of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson watching that day’s developing news on a store window display TV. When asked if that was them, the showrunners confirmed “sure was.” The next question had to be, “Was that the version of them before the series finale or after it?”Because you see, Fox Kids’ Spider-Man series ended on a cliffhanger.
It Looks Like Donkey Kong Bananza Will Rock

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

A Nintendo Direct was broadcast early in the morning all about their second big Switch 2 title, Donkey Kong Bananza. They’re already shown a lot of this game in past presentations and I wondered what was left to reveal. Turns out, quite a bit!The one reveal everybody expected was “Odd Rock” actually being a kid Pauline trapped inside it. Official art of this was leaked months ago.
Release Date Set For Gumball's Return On Hulu

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

I always loved The Amazing World Of Gumball and thought it was one of Cartoon Network’s best originals. In its day, it was frequently overshadowed by bigger hits like Adventure Time, Teen Titans Go and Steven Universe, but it kept chugging along in their shadow until it finally started getting noticed at the end of the decade.
Comedy Central's Digman Makes Surprise Return

1 week ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

According to the archives, back when Digman‘s first season was announced, I made the comment that shows that follow South Park don’t seem to live very long. What was I supposed to think? Just about every new cartoon CC has tried in that time slot only lasted one season, except for Drawn Together, but that was a while ago. Looks like adventurer Rip Digman has pulled off the impossible and broken that streak.
ParaNorman Returns To Theaters This Halloween

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

The rerelease of Coraline was an unexpected hit for Laika, adding in an extra $33 million to its box office revenue in the three weeks it was available. Why not do it again? The Portland studio announced today it’s bringing back their second full-length stop-motion spookfest, ParaNorman, for one week in theaters. Just like Coraline, the release will be presented in 3D. Norman Babcock is a teenage boy from the town of Blithe Hollow, Massachsetts.
Pixar Announces New Movie 'Gatto' At Annecy

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

Don’t fret over all the Toy Stories and Incredibleses you keep hearing about; Pixar still has plenty of original ideas. They just announced a new one at Annecy today: Gatto, the tale of a black cat in Venice with a lack of luck. You see, in Italy even the cats are mixed up in organized crime. Nero, the “gatto” of the story, is in debt to a feline mob boss and looking for a place to hide. He’s got a passion for music, so he’s allured to the melodies of Maya, a Venice street musician.
Stranger Things: Tales From '85 Described By Netflix

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

Netflix revealed at the Annecy Animation Festival that they have their own in-house cartoon studio again! Kind of. It’s a formation of all the existing studios they have under their wing, now under the umbrella of Netflix Animation Studios. And their biggest project will be cartoon-ifying the streamer’s most iconic and beloved series. We have known Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 was coming since 2023, but very little else. We didn’t even know that title until last month.
Steven Universe: Lars of the Stars Announced For Prime Video

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

The last episode of the Steven Universe saga aired on Cartoon Network five years ago. The series was given that rarest of chances, the opportunity to end itself on its own terms and tell a complete, solid story, with almost no loose ends left over. Well….there was ONE loose end. There was Lars. Lars was introduced as a bit player in the Steven Universe universe, a wannabe punker with gauged earholes and an unrequited desire for his co-worker at Beach City’s local junk food factory, Big Donut.
Peter Sohn To Direct Incredibles 3

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

Someone who isn’t Brad Bird has been given the job of directing Pixar’s Incredibles 3. This headline might cause some initial fretting, but actually, it’s not as bad as it sounds. Bird has tapped in Peter Sohn to direct the third film about the Parr family, now under development at Pixar. Sohn’s previous directing work has been for The Good Dinosaur in 2015 and Elemental in 2023.
Warner Bros Discovery Is Splitting Up, But Don't Get Too Excited

2 weeks ago | animesuperhero.com | Peter Paltridge

It doesn’t mean quite what you want it to. Ever since Discovery’s David Zaslav took control of Warner Bros Studios from a reckless and debt-racking AT&T, people have just been waiting impatiently for him to go away. The value of the combined company’s stock has plummeted under his leadership. Animation fans in particular despise him because he’s seemed to have it out for cartoons, shelving finished projects and shuttering Cartoon Network Studios among other crimes.
