Kartoon Studios Launches First “Stan Lee Universe” Project

Kartoon Studios and the UK’s GFM Animation have set Heroes At Large and Silver Sentinel as the first two features from their joint slate of CG animated movies based on stories from the Stan Lee Universe.

Kartoon and GFM will present the projects to distributors at this year’s European Film Market.

Heroes At Large follows two best friends, Bill and Joe, who are ordinary dads and electrical repairmen. They have everything they want: loving wives, fabulous kids, New York pizza, and the big game on TV. But all that normality and comfort is about to go out the window. The synopsis reads: In a story that takes them from zeroes to heroes, Bill and Joe strain to remain friends whilst fighting the most powerful force in the galaxy, only to ultimately discover that friendship is their true superpower.

The synopsis for Silver Sentinel reads: By night, Sentinel is a masked crime-fighting superhero. By day, a business exec and PTA mum. Her daughter, 14-year-old Joey’s coming-of-age battles are further complicated by the unexpected onset of superpowers. The typical mum/daughter conflicts are amplified as Sentinel’s powers decline and Joey’s blossoms. The two must find a way to overcome their differences and reconnect to defeat an absurd old foe.

We will updare our reporting if they get picked up.
