Cartoon Network to make El Santo Cartoon

[eJm]

Source: ToonZone.net

''Mexican wrestler El Hijo del Santo (son of Santo), will work with executive producer Carlo Olivares Paganoni to develop Santo (working title), an adventure/fantasy series set in Mexico City. The series will have the brave and young Santo inheriting the silver wrestling mask from his father and then learning how to manage an array of mystical powers with the guidance of Cóatl, an ancient feathered serpent. Santo will use his new powers to defend justice inside and outside the wrestling ring as he faces enemies ranging from everyday criminals to genetically enhanced mystical villains. Alex Soto of Ben 10 will act as supervising producer on the series. Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank is producing thirteen half-hour episodes.''



Samurai Jack meets Mucha Lucha?

I for one am excited anyway

Yeah, and from what I heard, it's going to be featuring some music from Lita's band The Luchagors.

Who'd she have to sleep with to get that sort of deal?

I'm really pumped for this, especially after I saw this:

Apparently it already exists in Mexico.

That was a small series of episodes only a few minutes long each, the drawing style was good but the stories were bland as hell. hope this new longer one is bether.

I hate El Hijo Del Santo but it could be an interesting project.

Well Nick has El Tigre....

That's cool.

I'm more excited about the Gamera 'toon CN is supposedly working on, but, I'd watch this too

[leemir]

Cool, Blue Demon was on an episode of Mucha Lucha before. I think it would be good if it was more like the Samurai Jack cartoon, not that I watch these cartoons but my little bro always has them on.

[Chainsaw]

Awesome. I'd love to see that movie about his life he's been pitching to Guillermo Del Toro too.

So it´s a mexican Ultimate Muscle?

BTW the american version of the show blows, but I actually enjoyed the original one.(One of my favorite matches is Mantarou vs. Suguru, where Mantarou tryied to call the match only to have his ass handed to him.)

Will Tinieblas make a cameo?

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

That's... pretty freakin' awesome actually. I'm a big Lucha fan, so I can't wait for it.

[The OP]

That sounds campy and fun. I'll at least try it.
