Adult Swim Follows Robot Chicken With a Double Dose of Superheroes and Villains
Adult Swim follows up smash-hit Robot Chicken: Star Wars with a double dose of superheroes and Machiavellian villains.
The Venture Bros.
On DVD 23rd February 2009
"Invokes the spirit of '60s action adventure cartoons while injecting sharp edged satire" IGN.com
Patrick Warbuton (Seinfeld/Family Guy) and James Urbaniak (CSI: Miami/Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) provide the voices in Adult Swim's comedy action- adventure The Venture Bros.
The complete first season follows the warped mis-adventures of a super-scientist and his imbecile sons who are protected from the jaws of death by a James Bond-esque bodyguard with a penchant for always getting the girl.
The Venture Bros. spoofs 1960s cartoons such as "Johnny Quest" and boys' adventure novels like "Tom Swift" and "The Hardy Boys". The Venture twins Hank and Dean travel around the world with their genius-turned mad-scientist father, Doctor Venture. Imagining themselves as an unusually gifted team of brains and brawn - the Venture brothers have very little of either. As a result, they're constantly in danger facing an endless parade of supervillains, rival scientists, megalomaniacs, zombies, suspicious ninjas, astronauts, mummies and conjoined twins.
Frisky Dingo
On DVD 23rd February 2009
"If the staplers in 'The Office' were replaced by laser guns,and the sitcom were directed by Quentin Tarantino, the results would look a lot like 'Frisky Dingo.' The New York Times
Frisky Dingo, the superhero soap opera, is created by Adult Swim stalwarts Matt Thompson and Adam Reed and features a villain more evil than Batman's Joker and a nemesis in the Bruce Wayne mould (only with a much bigger ego).
Frisky Dingo could be the most complicated superhero-villain dichotomy ever. Killface is the world's most evil villain whose mission of destroying mankind by propelling the Earth into the Sun is hampered by the boring details of media buys, personnel staffing and marketing. And then there's Awesome X, the alter ego of billionaire playboy Xander Crews, who is more concerned with the sales of his action figure line than foiling those plans and saving the world.
The Venture Bros and Frisky Dingo will be available to buy on DVD nationwide on February 23rd 2009.
