Marvel Animation is developing and self-producing a 26 half-hour episode series based on its long-running comic book, with the series targeted to launch in fall 2010, following Marvel’s live-action feature “Thor,” which bows in 2010.
The animated series will follow Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as he defends his mythical home of Asgard against fantastical villains, fiendish hordes, winged creatures and angry giants. The show will take place in various worlds — from mountainous landscapes to places of icy mists and fiery voids — and will include many of the comic’s supporting cast, including Balder the Brave, the Warriors Three and Thor’s evil adopted brother, Loki.
Marvel president of animation Eric Rollman said the series is part of the company’s plan to follow each live-action movie with an animated series and “offer a continued awareness in the marketplace.” It already is in production on cartoon series “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” which will be available for broadcast in 2011, in time for Marvel Studios’ releases of the live-action “The First Avenger: Captain America” and “The Avengers.”

It looks good and I will probably get it, but I am concerned about the price. How much do you charge for a 45 minute DVD?

Its about time I saw the early attempt at an Avengers cartoon in the 90’s and it was lack luster. The problem was it was missing the core of the team like Thor, Captain America and Iron Man. That’s like Thanksgiving with no Turkey. Hopefully this will be Marvels answer to the Justice League cartoon. The DC Animated Universe is the gold standard in animated superheros, starting with Batman: TAS to Justice League Unlimited. Before anybody emails me, I loved the the animated X-men series at the time, but I always felt like it was good, but it could have been so much better. Hopefully this Avengers cartoon will raise the bar on Marvel animation.

Marvel Animation, the cartoon division of Marvel Entertainment, is beginning production on “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,” the company’s latest animated series.
Film Roman, the company behind “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill,” has been tapped to produce the 26-episode series, which will be available for broadcast in 2011, in time for Marvel Studios’ releases of the tentpole live-action movies “The First Avenger: Captain America” and “The Avengers.”
“Avengers,” based on the long-running comic, features some of the company’s most popular characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Giant Man, and the comely Wasp, who fight forces of evil that no single hero stands a chance against.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a DVD recommendation. But yesterday, I watched Batman: Gotham Knight. This is a compliation of six anime-style movie shorts that bridge the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. I was really impressed with the animation style of the 6 different vignettes and the stories. I also liked how the writers were able to have the stories all relate to eachother in some way, quite unlike the Animatrix where each story was independant. If you are a Batman fan and if you enjoy animation, you will like this.

My hope is that this will be Marvels answer to Justice League/Unlimited cartoon. Marvel nails live action films, but they have a real crappy record when it comes to animated television shows. I think they are trending upward recently with the direct to DVD films (Ultimates, Ultimates 2, Iron Man, etc.) and the Sensational Spiderman cartoon, but they have a long way to go before they can match the DCAU.
