X-Men ‘97: Fans React to First Preview of New Animated Series
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
The first two episodes of X-Men '97 are due to hit Disney+ on March 20, and Rotten Tomatoes has shared the first preview of the animated series.
In the clip, we witness the X-Men team go head to head with the Sentinels, a scene from the premiere episode.
A continuation of the 1992 X-Men, X-Men '97 comes from the Beau DeMayo, starring Jennifer Hale, Ray Chase, Lenore Zann, Cal Dodd, George Buza, JP Karliak, Adrian Hough, A.J. LoCascio, Matthew Waterson, Alison Sealy-Smith, Holly Chou, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Chris Britton and Anniwaa Buachie.
Fans have noted the use of the original style, which blends modern techniques with the signature retro look of the '92 series, as well as the original theme song making a return.
Watching a reboot/sequel based off the original is so trippy. Keeping the same stylistic design but with modern practices 😵💫😵💫😵💫

It just feels like in the old days of watching Saturday morning cartoons!

This is the most seamless blend of 2D and 3D animation that I’ve seen in a long time

Some people weren't as thrilled, however.
there’s nothing 97 about this except the costumes ???? the bar really is low huh for a X-men show

How do you remake something from 30 years ago and the art is actually worse than what it was?

I'm sorry but this didn't connect with me AT ALL!
Is there a problem with the sound mixing cause the battle was so muted and had no impact feel to it. Also, im sick of the puesdo 3D animation. Literally looks like the What If.. series just tweaked a bit. 👎🏾— M95 (@m95kl) March 14, 2024
X-Men '97 will land on Disney+ on March 20.
