The new issue of The Toy Book revealed this week officially a new animated series had been in the works and would be dropping exclusively on YouTube this Summer from Mattel as part of a multi year roadmap for MOTU.
Now via a person apparently directly involved with the series, it's been revealed that the series will be dropping June 10th! He describes it as a "reboot" but there's no other official details.
Last year Toy World ran a supplement to one of their issues that featured Mattel covered the movie and mentioned as part of their marketing plans they would be releasing "animated prequel shorts" leading up to the movie's release. I believe He-Dad posted this but my memory is fuzzy 😆
When He-Mania reported this the supplement was quickly edited and the mention of a new animated series was deleted. Could this be it or something else entirely? Some of the movie merch does feature movie designs as a animated series..?
I know AJ is slammed with covering the movie and now MOTUniverse so figured I'd spin this off in a new topic to discuss rather than dumping everything in one movie thread. 😆
Fingers crossed it's a sequel. But right now I need more revolution
LinkedIn profile for the individual who posted the drop date lists the series as being called Tales of Eternia and is described as a reboot of the 80s cartoon and is 20 episodes!
@dgsimo I wonder if it's like a What if the 80s show was a sequel to the movie, type of shwo. I hope that is. They already have the perfect designs on all that beautiful MotU merch
Could be a prequel and sequel being 20 episodes? We won't have to wait long to find out!
Also looks like Snipple Animation is the studio behind it and have quite the resume in Animation.
@dgsimo I hope it is both, but not a full on prequel. I can't wait until it comes out. I just wonder how it's a reboot of the original 🤔
@kinggrayskull09 People use the word Reboot veeeeery loosely these days… so it can really be anything.
The new Roseanne was called a Reboot but wasn’t that simply a Sequel?
Industry likes to use reboot these days, sounds more trendy, but it could be rather a prequel or a sequel instead.
So yeah, who knows… we might not know till we see the first trailer etc
20 eps is a lot but I hope the eps are not too short… Tales could mean really short character introductions / solo adventures… that flesh out the movie world?
Again, who knows…
I hope they aren't shorts, also Roseanne kinda was a reboot because it retconned alot while also keeping it all cannon. It was weird.
