Spaceballs Animated Series in Production

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the was-this-something-everyone-was-clamoring-for dept.

Keith Russell writes "CNN is reporting that production has started on Spaceballs: The Animated Series, which will start a 13-episode run on G4 next year. Brooks himself will provide the voices of 'two characters', although they don't mention Yogurt or President Skroob by name." From the article: "Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, 'Spaceballs: The Animated Series' will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics. It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes."

    Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.

    I'm thinking it's highly unlikely that this will stay on for 13 weeks. I suppose they need to at least have enough for a DVD set.

    Has Mel Brooks done anything worthwhile since -- I can't even remember a recent Mel Brooks movie -- Young Frankenstein?

    I don't know how cool it is. I think Mel's realized he's out of ideas. First he does the stage version of 'The Producers'. I can see that, but hardly original. Then re-doing the movie. Why? The original was perfect. Now this? Then again, at least it's not 'Dracula: Dead and Loving it.'
