I don’t think that clip is for a new show, it’s a clip from the aborted pilot — thrown together more for demonstration than anything else, IIRC.

Still, cartoon Buffy would be a blast if it’s set during the High School years – I thought it really fell apart in the last few years. Even a little kid Dawn would be acceptable. If they can incorporate Oz into the mix it’d be even better.

Wow, that clip… was terrible. That looks even worse than the new Spider-man series. I’d probably give it a chance but if the rest of the series would be like that, I’d stay away from it forever. That was just painful to watch.

I’d rather the animated series stay buried. I watched that clip above a couple of weeks ago and while some of it is okay on a whole it made it made me cringe.

The die-hard Buffy fans have ‘Buffy Season Eight’ to keep them going, the canonical comic series by Whedon himself.

i’d much rather them try to make a film or tv movie(s) that continue the series over a cartoon that goes back to high school and cuts out all the “good stuff” for the kiddies. this is a very lame idea.

buffy fan’s want more buffy, but we want new buffy, we always have. we’re still peeved that the show ended and have been buying up the comics for around a year now.

this is starting to feel like star wars, just like the news of no episodes 7, 8 and 9. we’re never really going to get what we want out of it, just rehashes (the clone wars) of what once was great.

Ah, didn’t catch that clip before. Never mind. It looks like it’s being handled pretty decently.

I don’t mind Dawn appearing since memories were re-written in Season 5… What bugs me is marketing it to a children’s audience. This is a show where the first and foremost staple is stabbing vampires in the heart with a wooden stake… not exactly something you can get away with on a Saturday morning, let alone dealing with monsters who suck blood out of your neck.

They actually made a pilot for this. Animation Magazine reported on it a couple weeks ago.

EDIT: I posted the clip in the post above. Thanks!

While it would have been cool seeing Dawn incorporated in the early days i don’t think this is a good idea anymore.
