The Mask

Definitely one of the best of 90's along with shows like The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.

The Mask was a cartoon of different domain, especially since it was a shoot off form the hilarious movie with the same title, starring Jim Carey.

Almost all of the time, such projects never live up to expectations, but boy, this one proved to be such a different story!

Enter a gem of a show, intelligent, funny and original. Superb voice characterization and animation. The daily trials and tribulation Stanley Ipkis in a modern industrial city is so life like, and his walk on the wile side as the Mask is something we all wish we could do.

Some how this show will appeal more to adults than to children.

A must see.

I loved "The Mask" movie as a kid and I still do. Shortly after the huge success of the film, "The Mask: The Animated Series" was spawned. It's basically the continuing adventures of Stanley Ipkiss with some changes such as Stanley and Peggy going out, Tina not being in the show, Stanley being able to use the Mask by day as well as night and blah, blah, blah, but don't let it stop you from watching the show: it's a truly excellent satire all served with sly humour.

Like other "Mask" fans, I want the show to come back on television, be released on DVD (and NOT just two episodes on the "Son of the Mask" special edition!) and possibly a few more new seasons. Unfortunately, that horrible monstrosity of "Son of the Mask" has absolutely murdered and slaughtered the entire "Mask" franchise. So it's unlikely that us "Mask" fans will be getting any of it. (Damn you, "SIN of the Mask"!!!) Ah well, I still have fond memories of the "The Mask:TAS" and there's also clips on YouTube as well as the full episode "Flight as a Feather".

All in all, "The Mask: TAS" was an excellent satirical cartoon that catered to both kid and adult "Mask" fans world over and if it weren't for "Son of the Mask", I'm sure we would of had our wishes fulfilled.

I'll never forget "The Mask: The Animated Series".

It tends to be normal these days to make an animated series based on a hit movie. Most of them suck, but like others, this one stands out. It had all the childish humor of the movie and something a lot of shows (particularly Saturday morning ones) these days do not have, intelligence. The show was simply a delight. It was interesting to see this show and that Ace Ventura cartoon have two cross overs. Very funny.

After the enormous success of The Mask it seemed obvious that a sequel would be in the works. But as we all know we never got that sequel. Instead we got something better! An animated series which is faithful to the movies and "maybe" the comics. I've never read the comics but I suppose. Anyhow, the plots were amazing and the characters and villians were greatly developed. This was truly a fun show. It was great. And Rob Paulsen (Pink & the Brain) did a great voice over! And in my opinion after seeing this great show there really is no need for a sequel. I wouldn't mind one but there is no need.

Wow while I am writing this review I am having glimpses of this show in my mind....This was truly a rocking series right from the theme song till the end(Too bad they changed the theme song after the first season)...I still remember watching The Mask movie in my cousin's house & went completely crazy & again went to the movie with my Dad(Indian releases in theaters are late)& after that this series started...I used to come running from school to watch this show weekdays at 4 to watch it on Cartoon Network ....This show was damn funny.Many episodes are memorable to me.I wish they would release this on DVD...I will buy it with whatever money I have now(I am still studying)...Somebody Stop Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee...Smokinnnn
