PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This July, Marvel Animation and Lionsgate bring Wolverine fans an exciting new DVD from Nicktoons Network's hit animated series Wolverine And The X-Men. The new DVD arrives just after this summer's blockbuster live-action film X-Men Origins: Wolverine and just before the live-action DVD release this fall. In Wolverine And The X-Men: Deadly Enemies, the battles against formidable opponents have begun for Wolverine and the X-Men as they continue their fight to prevent an unspeakable future. Enter the fray with Wolverine and the X-Men in five all-new action-packed adventures including a heart-pounding showdown that pits Wolverine against fan-favorite The Incredible Hulk! The DVD will include an audio commentary from the show creators and will be encased in an embossed O-Card. Wolverine And The X-Men: Deadly Enemies will appeal to fans of all ages when it becomes available on DVD on July 21, 2009 for the suggested retail price of $14.98.

With 45 years of best selling comic books, a massive fan base spanning all ages and three feature films grossing over one billion dollars at the box office, the franchise is a proven phenomenon. The hit series debut of Wolverine And The X-Men was Nicktoons Network's highest rated original series premiere ever with kids and boys. Though the animated series is targeted to Boys 6-11, it also appeals to comic book fans of all ages! The DVD will receive heavy promotion on Marvel.com and Marvelkids.com while the 26 episode series will be supported by a $5 million broadcast promotional plan delivering over 350 million impressions. The DVD release is timed to Hasbro's Wolverine And The X-Men series toy line releasing in August.

SYNOPSIS

Wolverine and the X-Men continue their fight to prevent an unspeakable future as menacing opponents await in Wolverine and the X-Men: Deadly Enemies. The X-Men fight to save Storm's life after the parasitic Shadow King infiltrates her mind. And Wolverine teams up with Gambit to ‘steal back' a technological collar that inhibits mutant powers, before Senator Kelly can use it against them. On the high seas, Nightcrawler battles devious pirates, in the business of kidnapping mutant refugees for their mysterious master, Mojo. In order to protect his friends, Wolverine must face-off against the Incredible Hulk, but he soon discovers there is a new enemy lurking in the darkness. And in a shocking request from Professor Xavier in the future, Wolverine and the X-Men must return a young mutant to the custody of their most relentless adversary, the MRD.

* Overflow
* Thieves Gambit
* X-Calibre

<![CDATA[New X-Men Trailer: Days Of Future Awesome!]]> Is it wrong that I'm more excited about the cartoon Wolverine And The X-Men than the live-action Wolverine movie, after watching this new trailer? January's new animated series has all the crucial elements: the fear-mongering Senator Kelly, the dystopian glimpses, the swaggering Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... and Wolverine getting the X-Men back together. (Can't wait for the scene where one of the X-Men is working in a restaurant and Wolvie orders four fried chickens.)

<![CDATA[X-Men Get A Warning From A Ruined Future]]> Check out some quality Wolverine zingers in this new trailer for Wolverine and the X-Men. The animated series takes place after Professor Xavier has been attacked by an unknown enemy and left in a coma-like state. His psyche comes back, in giant floating head form, warning the mutants that their future is bleak unless they fight The Brotherhood. Tons of glorious mutants in the trailer after the jump, plus more news on Marvel's plans to release another kiddie-focused animated series.

Magneto's mutant haven, Genosha looks a bit like the emerald city, and Professor Xavier's wizard impersonation isn't doing much to hinder the comparison. There were so many mutants in this clip I lost count, was that The Hulk and burqa sporting Dust? Plus more Sentinels, which the X-Men never tire of fighting. The cartoon series will air on Nicktoon in the summer of 2009.

But if the bleak genocide storyline and running mythology of the X-Men cartoon isn't your cup of tea, there's antoher Marvel cartoon on the way, aimed at a demographic of 6 to 8-year-olds. It's titled the Marvel Superhero Squad and will feature all the greats including, Captain America, Iron Man and the Fantastic Four. They're living in some kind of stylized superhero city and fighting villains like Doctor Doom every week. [Illusiontv and Marvel]
