Back to childhood

Broadcast between 1992 and 1997 on Canal+ then France 2, the animated series X-Men (Or X-Men: The Animated Series in original version) has accompanied many children with its exhilarating theme music and its colorful superheroes. A program cherished by an entire generation, and which is preparing to make its comeback.

This new series X-Men ’97 will also pick up where the original left off. So, while Professor Xavier has joined the Shi’Ar empire to find a cure for his illness, the X-Men have forged a fragile alliance with the formidable Magneto… but nothing goes as planned seen.

Connoisseurs will have noted that the 2D animation of the original series gives way here to a more modern 3D animation, with a two-dimensional “retro” filter. If everyone will judge the quality of the rendering, on our side we are rather convinced. Above all, the musical theme by Shuki Levi and Mark Ryan is back.

Written by Beau DeMayo (Star Trek: Strange Worlds, The Witcher), this new series will be made up of ten episodes, and a season 2 is already in development.

Waiting to discover X-Men ’97 From March 20, you can rewatch all five seasons (and 76 episodes) of the original series, available on the Disney+ streaming service.
