Saturday, February 11, 2006WONDERCON: MIKE MIGNOLA PANEL Hellboy creator Mike Mignola said he is pleased with the development of the two Hellboy animated movies.
"I helped with the stories and I'm happy with the stories and I'm happy with the design," Mignola said at his WonderCon panel on Friday in San Francisco. "So maybe there will be a series."
The two films are from IDT Entertaiment, in partnership with Revolution Studios, and are geared for release on DVD. Mignola said they might air on Cartoon Network first, although they are not currently scheduled.
Mignola said that, like the Batman franchise did, the Hellboy animated universe will be separate from that of the comics and that of the live-action movies.
