Cartoon Network has landed exclusive domestic TV rights to a new half-hour animated series based on Marvel's FANTASTIC FOUR. The show is a co-production of Marvel Studios and Moonscoop.

The program will premiere as a weekly series on the network this fall. It's aimed at 6 to 12 year-olds.

From the Moonscoop website "The Fantastic Four, the beloved heroes of the hugely successful comic book series by Marvel are back in a new animated series. Sue Storm a.k.a Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm a.k.a. Human Torch, Ben Grimm a.k.a. The Thing, and Reed Richards a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic are not only super heroes but also, and most importantly, best friends. With their great and unique powers invisibility, fire power, pure strength and body elasticity they defend their city and the rest of the world from the plans of wicked Dr. Doom as well as conspiracies from all kinds of super villains and evil space aliens (Mole Man and Skrulls, just to mention a few)."
