BIKER MICE FROM MARS Is Making a Comeback as an Animated Series and Toy Line
Well, here’s a blast from the past! The ‘90s cartoon series Biker Mice From Mars is about to make a big comeback! I haven’t thought about this show in a long time, but CB is reporting that The Nacelle Company, the studio behind hit Netflix shows like The Toys That Made Us and The Movies That Made Us, has obtained the rights to the property and they have big plans for it!
Those immediate plans include creating a whole new toy line that they will release, and they will also be developing a new updated animated series. This is all happening 30 years after the original cartoon series came to an end.
Nacelle CEO Brian Volk-Weiss shared in a statement: "Biker Mice is the perfect way to start 2023 off with a Mars-based bang! And they'll fit in with their unique, creative brilliance, with the rest of the brands we've recently acquired.”
I used to watch Biker Mice From Mars when I was growing up, and looking back at it now it was such a wild and rad show! It will be cool to see how this new series and toy line turns out. The creators of the series could have a lot of fun with this!
In the series: "On the planet Mars, there existed a race of anthropomorphic mice who enjoyed motorsports and had a very similar culture and society to that of human beings. Eventually, they were all but wiped out by the Plutarkians, an alien race of obese, foul-smelling, worm-eating, fish-like humanoids who plunder other planets for their natural resources. Three survivors: Throttle, Modo and Vinnie, manage to find a spaceship and escape the Plutarkian takeover, but instead, they soon find themselves crash-landing on Earth in the city of Chicago. Along with a charming female mechanic named Charlene "Charley" Davidson, the Biker Mice must defend Earth and defeat the villainous Plutarkians, in an attempt to finally return to their homeland of Mars."
