International action hero Jackie Chan is celebrating the Chinese New Year during the third annual Jackies Chantastic Chinese New Year, and welcomes his good friend Lucy Liu as a guest voice on his Kids WB! hit anime- style comedy/adventure series, JACKIE CHAN ADVENTURES, at 8:00 am on Jan. 31, 2004. In addition, Michael Rosenbaum of The WB's hit SMALLVILLE also makes a special guest-voice appearance.
A live-action Chan will be featured in a series of interstitials throughout the Saturday morning Kids WB! Telecast, helping in Uncles shop dishing out chants, chi spells and fortune cookies as Jackie and the J-Team celebrate the year of the Monkey!
In this episode entitled, "J2," Jackie's feisty niece Jade gets the surprise of her life when she comes face-to-face with the adult version of herself - voiced by Lucy Liu. The adult Jade arrives from the future, bringing knowledge of the only way to save the world from the Age of the Dragons. Jade learns to use her grown up image in her ongoing quest for knowledge and is thrilled to see Lucy Liu's character as the "new" head of Section 13 - rivaling Jackie with her amazing acrobatics, brilliant martial arts skills and quick wit.
Rosenbaum voice-stars as Drago, the son of Shendu, who travels back in time to retrieve the magical dragon's teeth needed to resurrect his father and ensure the future Age of the Dragons... which Jade has returned to destroy.
