'Spaceballs' becomes cartoon series

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Mel Brooks is developing an animated TV series based on his comedy feature "Spaceballs."

Like the 1987 movie, which parodied well-known science-fiction movies, "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" will spoof current blockbusters as well as every genre of entertainment from movies and reality TV to culture and politics.

It is set to debut on cable network G4 in fall 2007. Production has already started on an initial batch of 13 episodes.

Brooks, who will voice two characters in the show, co-wrote the pilot with longtime collaborator Thomas Meehan, who will oversee all writing for the series.

Glad Mel Brooks will be in charge. Will definitely keep it in the 'it shouldn't be too bad' category.

Maybe they should get Genndy Tartakovsky to animate.

Somehow... it works as a cartoon. and yeah, seeing Mel the Master in charge puts it in the "this should be good" catagory.
