'Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL' Review - The Only Game Where You Can Beat Up Captain Planet With Dexter
Posted 11/23/11 12:14 pm EST by MTV Geek in Animation, Cartoon Network, Reviews, Video Games, Wii, Xbox 360
The fighting genre is a tough one to break into and change. Games like "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat" have long and illustrious histories, whereas newer games like "BlazBlue" and "Marvel vs. Capcom" are trying to bring a new look and feel while still maintaining many elements of the classics. However, there's one relatively new game that was able to break the mold, and really introduce something new to fighting games, "Super Smash Bros." Combining cartoony graphics with precision gameplay has spawned a whole sub-genre of brawlers. With its highly recognizable roster the latest game to enter the fray is Crave Games' "Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL." Can it really throw down against such fierce competition?

While both CN and DC were light on details about the other titles appearing in this block, it looks like some of the DCU Animated features might show up in there include tie-ins to the upcoming Gotham City Imposters game as well as Plastic Man, both of which I can get behind.

A New Clip From This Week's 'Green Lantern: The Animated Series' Premiere
Posted 11/8/11 1:11 pm EST by Charles Webb in Animation, Cartoon Network, DC Comics, Trailers, TV
The newest entry in the DC Animated Universe, Green Lantern: The Animated Series is coming to Cartoon Network this Friday. And with that in mind, we've got a clip from the very first episode, featuring actor Josh Keaton (Marvel Superhero Squad, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths as the voice of the ring-slinging space cop, Hal Jordan. From the synopsis below and the media that's been released so far about the series, it sounds like the series is going all the way with Lantern mythology, particularly the warring color spectrum. No word on whether the Red Lanterns will retain their corrosive blood vomit powers.
Here's the synopsis from the premiere episode:
In the first part of the two-part series premiere episode, ace test pilot Hal Jordan (voiced by JOSH KEATON), who leads a secret life as Earth's guardian Green Lantern, is called back to Oa. Searching for the culprits behind a series of Green Lantern deaths in "Frontier Space", Hal and his gruff fellow Green Lantern Kilowog (voiced by KEVIN MICHAEL RICHARDSON) “commandeer” The Interceptor, a prototype spaceship powered by pure Green Lantern energy and an advanced artificial intelligence system that Hal names Aya (voiced by GREY DeLISLE).
In the second half of the two-part series premiere episode, Hal and Kilowog discover that a group of Red Lanterns, including the conflicted Razer (voiced by JASON SPISAK) and the vile Zilius Zox (voiced by TOM KENNY) have been targeting and eliminating Green Lanterns in Frontier Space. Along with the help from a surviving Frontier Space Green Lantern Shyir Rev (voiced by KURTWOOD SMITH), Hal and Kilowog must stop the Red Lantern leader Atrocitus (voiced by JONATHAN ADAMS) from destroying Shyir's home planet of Colony 12.
Green Lantern: The Animated Series premieres Friday, November 11th at 7 PM ESTon Cartoon Network.

Interview: 'Mary Shelley's Frankenhole' Creator Dino Stamatopoulos

A scene from Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole
[Updated 10/29 12:25 AM: In the original publication, the show's puppet designer was mis-identified as Chris Calvi, when Chris Rabilwongse is the designer Mr. Stamatopoulos was describing.]
This weekend, Cartoon Network is giving us all a Halloween treat with a mini-marathon of the stop-motion, time-traveling neurotic monster comedy, Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole. The show’s creator is, Dino Stamatopoulos, who was also responsible for religion-skewering Moral Orel, and who you might recognize as the shifty Star-burns on NBC’s Community. The series features a droll, immortal Dr. Victor Frankenstein who tinkers in his lab which is situated conveniently near the time portal—the titular Frankenhole—where each week a visitor from history might pop out with a request for the good doctor’s assistance.
With a second season of Frankenhole on the way in December, we thought we’d talk to the show’s creator about building his stop-motion world, retooling the show for season two, the secret history of the cancellation of Moral Orel, and the boozy process behind coming up with some of the storylines for the show.

The Black Dynamite crew at New York Comic Con
In 2012, we'll finally get the long-promised (and promoted) animated take on the 2009 cult blaxploitation satire, Black Dynamite. The film stars Michael Jai White (Spawn, The Dark Knight) as a black street hero and ladies' man who tackles the onslaught of drugs and crime infesting the streets of his neighborhood. Among other things, the movie provides us with the answer to the question, "What's Arsenio Hall been up to?" The upcoming Adult Swim animated series promises to continue the ongoing adventures of the title character as he dispenses justice on the mean streets of the inner city.

Interview: Tom Kenny on the Hilarious Creepiness of 'Adventure Time's' Ice King
Posted 9/27/11 3:30 pm EST by Charles Webb in Animation, Cartoon Network, Interviews, TV
With a batch of episodes from Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time hitting DVD this week under the title Adventure Time: My Two Favorite People, at MTV Geek we thought it’d be great to chat with one of heroic boy Finn’s least favorite people, the socially awkward, princess kidnapping prone Ice King. And since the Ice King isn’t a real person, we did the next best thing and spoke to the voice actor behind him, Tom Kenny. Kenny has been in fixture in voice over work since taking on additional voices in the English language version of Studio Ghibli’s Porco Rosso back in 1992. Read More...
