Marvel Announces ANT-MAN Animated Shorts Coming to Disney XD
While we wait for Marvel to release Ant-Man and the Wasp, fans will be able to enjoy a new series of Ant-Man animated short films coming to Disney XD. The project was announced by EW and they offered a first look at the animation style of the shorts.
Voiced by Josh Keaton, the shrinking hero will fight evil alongside the Wasp and Hank Pym. He’ll score occasional breaks to help daughter Cassie with her homework.
The Ant-Man shorts will be created by Passion Pictures, which is the same studio that developed the Rocket and Groot animated shorts. They are also the same team behind Gorillaz's animated music videos.
The series will consist of six two-minute shorts that will be directed by Ugo Bienvenu and Kevin Manach. The first short is titled “Science Fair”, and is set to air Saturday, June 10 at 7:58 am ET, with the next two “Alien Invasion” and “Soup Time” airing at 11:58 am and 2:58 pm. The next set of shorts entitled “Exterminator,” “Proton Cube” and “Not a Date” will air Sunday, June 11 at 11:28 am, 5:28 pm and 8:58 am, respectively.
I really enjoyed the Rocket and Groot animated shorts, and I imagine Ant-Man will end up being just a fun!
