Hasbro is Developing a New MICRONAUTS Animated Series
Hasbro is looking to introduce a whole new generation to Micronauts with a new animated series that they are launching in 2019. Micronauts is based on a Japanese toy line and was created by Mega in 1976. They manufactured the toy line through 1980.
Hasbro is also developing a live-action film based on Micronauts with Paramount Pictures. That movie is set to be released on October 16th, 2020, so this animated series will serve as a way to prime the pump and help build an audience for the film.
There is some concept art that was released for the series that you can see above and here is the information for the series that can be found on Hasbro Studios Sales Guide:
"When fate brings an unlikely team of alien space explorers to earth in pursuit of the evil Baron Karza, they make a shocking discovery - on our world they are the size of action figures!" explains a Hasbro marketing kit. "The Micronauts are small heroes in a big world but the stakes are higher than ever as their miniaturized size presents dangerous obstacles at every turn. Fortunately, they forge an alliance with teenager Cameron Ruck, who will join them in their pursuit of justice. Although the Micronauts are small in stature, their bravery and adventurous spirits remain larger than life."
The series is being targeted to 6-11-year olds and there's a full order of 26 22-minute episodes. Even though the series is being made for young kids, I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. What do you think about Hasbro developing a Micronauts animated series?
