a5c7b9f00b In Edge City, Stanley Ipkiss tries to live a normal life, but the ever-present magic Mask of Loki in his possession has other plans. Now, whenever there is evil or Stanley is in danger or annoyed, he cannot resist donning the artifact to become The Mask, a manic superhero unbounded by anything, including physical reality. Against various villains who scheme against the city or try to gain the Mask of Loki for themselves, The Mask is not just powerful, he's smokin. The further adventures of Stanley Ipkiss and his magic reality defying mask. I saw the movie and decided to checkout the TV series. I actually found the TV show pretty good. The series is about a man who has a mask and when he puts it on he turns good. He was going to turn the mask into the cops but then decided to keep it. The Mask in the show isn't voiced by Jim Carrey he is voiced by Rob Paulsen. But an evil man is always after the mask. *Might be some spoilers* That's why I'm contributing to the index of comments on this cartoon series now. Because, when the sequel does hit theaters, Ted Turner will probably buy the telecast rights for Cartoon Network. Not to mention, the video/DVD distribution rights! Which means, this branch of IMDB will then be crowded like a "New Yawk" subway at rush hour! In any event, I found the cartoon series to be just as hilarious as the movie. There was one episode that poked some good-natured fun at WB's "Animaniacs" (where Rob Paulsen was simultaneously employed, back then). Another episode had the Mask finding himself constantly out-tricked by a Zatanna-type magician-cum-jewel-thief named "Davida Steelmine!" But, the most suspenseful episodes had to be the run-ins with Dr. Pretorious and his pet cyborg Walter. Tim Curry always does great villain-voices, and the not-so-good doctor tops my personal list of them. One final note: I once wrote to the PR department of the original movie's production company, asking them if there would ever be a sequel. They said, "yes," and estimated _1998_ as the release date! So, guys, if you're reading this? PLEASE, STICK A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE NEW ESTIMATE! OK? Thanks.
