I just want to help bring what I’ve loved for so long to the next generation!” “Sergio’s style, the characters, the world, and especially the humor have always appealed to me. “I’ve loved Groo the Wanderer since I was eight years old, and to have the honor of bringing the character to on-screen life is, quite literally, a lifelong dream come true,” Jones says. Now, I know that we are going in the right direction and I can assure the fans that they will love Groo the way Mark and I do.” We studied what we have seen on the screen by different animators and laughed plenty. “Mark and I wondered so many times how he - Groo, not Mark - would look animated. “After drawing and living with Groo for so many years, so many comics, so many pages, you can imagine I have drawn Groo in every position imaginable,” Aragonés explains. Projects are being packaged for streaming services and global distribution, with Did I Err able to co-finance as needed.

#Transformers animated season 1 vudu series
Jones, and his Did I Err partner Scott Nocas, will serve as executive producers on the film and/or series with Aragonés and Evanier. The brainchild of Aragonés, who creates the stories along with wordsmith Mark Evanier, the Eisner Award-winning Groo the Wanderer has been published by Dark Horse Comics since 1998. Groo the Wanderer, now in its landmark 40th year of publication, is the longest currently-running independent and “creator-owned” comic book property – outlasting many of the companies that published it. Meanwhile, a human organization manages to kidnap Sunstreaker and his human passenger, forcing some Autobots to violate orders in a rescue attempt.LOS ANGELES, CA (November 18, 2021) – Entrepreneur Josh Jones has acquired the animated film and television rights to Groo the Wanderer, legendary cartoonist Sergio Aragonés’ beloved comics character, with the intent of producing the character’s first-ever animated entertainment via Jones’ Did I Err Productions company. The battle on Earth escalates when Megatron-having arrived on Earth upon hearing of Starscream's planned treachery-calls his one-bot army Sixshot to Earth to terminate the Autobots except Optimus Prime. The series would have designs similar to 2015's Transformers: Robots in Disguise cartoon and the series would have a Young Justice-style of animation.Ī small group of Autobots- Ultra Magnus, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Ratchet, Sunstreaker, Jazz, and Bumblebee-are stationed on Earth, in an attempt to prevent the Decepticon cell from activating their "infiltration protocol", but there turns out to be more than meets the eye to the Decepticon's plans than previously thought. In this series, as it's a modern iteration of an animated Transformers animated series, most Transformers' right forearms have the ability to morph/transform into a blaster/cannon. Also, as this series is a spiritual successor and/or reboot of the original cartoon, some of the human cast will come directly from the original cartoon series such as: Spike Witwicky and Carly Spencer. Similar to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, each season would contain several individual arcs that would all lead into one another.
With the series focusing more on the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, the series needs a much more serious tone, but the show would still retain its "fun" factor as well. The tone of the series would be more serious than previous Transformers cartoons. It would also feature several "spotlight" episodes for specific characters. The story would primarily take on Earth, but would also feature the Autobots occasionally traveling to different planets as needed. The Transformers would be the first series in this animated universe.
