TV's Fall Animation Lineup
Quack Pack (Disney) has Donald Duck as a cameraman for an entertainment news show called What in The World? and who has to contend with raising his three 16-year-old nephews.
Reboot (Alliance/Mainframe/Claster), the all-CGI show which made its debut on ABC in 1994, takes viewers into Mainframe, a covert electrical world inside a personal computer controlled by The User.
Richie Rich (Film Roman/Harvey/Claster), based on the classic comic book character, tells of the further adventures of the world's richest 11-year-old, who has a virtual fairyland of fun and power at his disposal.
Saban's Adventures of Oliver Twist (Saban) attempts to present Charles Dickens' characters in a new light as anthromorphic animals. The story, though, is still set in Victorian London, which is home to 12-year-old Oliver.
Samurai Pizza Cats (Saban) features a group of superhero crime fighters who own their own pizza parlor in the thriving metropolis of Little Tokyo.
Sky Dancers and Dragon Flyz (Gaumont/Abrams/Gentile). When Gaumont decided to build an animated series around Sky Dancers, the popular girl's toy, they also came up with a companion show for boys, Dragon Flyz. (The new show naturally brought about a new line of toys, as well). The former show follows the adventures of five young dancers who are chosen by the last reigning monarch to become Sky Dancers. The latter is a futuristic action-adventure series that takes place in the 41st century, in which a man and dragonfly live as one as they battle against the evil Dreadwing.
Sticken Around (Nelvana/Ellipse) stars imaginary stick figures from the mind of an eight-year-old girl and her best friend.
UltraForce (DIC) is about superhumans called Ultras who were created by alien sound waves.
VOR: Tech (Universal/Claster Television) is an action/fantasy program that features two research scientist brothers, who harness a computer virus to create a new technology that transforms ordinary beings and machines into a single biomechanical unit.
The Why Why Family (Saban) features a family able to travel anywhere to find answers to questions.
