Cartoon Network will air Marvel's new animated Fantastic Four series, which is targeted for a fall 2006 debut.

The series will be co-produced by Marvel and Moonscoop (Cartoon's Code Lyoko). Fantastic Four, about four super heroes, will combine 2D and 3D animation. The four, Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, The Invisible Woman, and The Thing, were the subject of a 2005 theatrical film and an animated 1960's TV series.

Cartoon's commitment is to 26 half-hour episodes. Cartoon already has a deal to carry the series internationally.

Marvel will do its part to spread the word about the Four with a licensing program including toys, interactive entertainment, and apparel.

Great news! Let's hope it's better than the 1978 version that replaced the Human Torch with a robot...

The writing in the 1960's era series was good, but the artwork was flat and dull. I agree the 70's era series was pretty darn bad.
