@Alpha1211985 жыл бұрын
Which in of itself is also very strange because there were definitely enough agents by the time J was recruited to have gone through the entire alphabet. Why was he designated J and not something further down the chain, had the previous J died? Are the A.Agents transfers from other MIB installations given a prefix as an identifier? Was this simply a movie that was meant to be a one-off originally that didn’t really intend to delve deep into the administration workings of the MIB in subsequent media?!

The series’ theme was composed by series composer Jim Latham. An instrumental version of Smith’s “Men in Black”, written by Smith, Patrice Rushen, Terri McFadden and Freddie Washington that served as the movie’s theme, was used as the show’s closing theme over the credits and mug shots of various aliens. The series ran for four seasons (1997 to 2001), expanding to also include reruns on weekdays. The fourth season (2000 to 2001) received a slightly modified intro to incorporate the new characters introduced.

Continuing the success of Columbia Pictures' blockbuster film Men in Black, the animated series sees the return of Agents Kay and Jay. Distinguished by their dark black suits and sunglasses, the agents continue to guard earth protecting the scum of the universe. I remember watching this series back when it premiered in 1997 during Kids WB's infancy and I've watched it progressively become worse and ran for 4 years. The show began decently enough - re-establishing the partnership between Agent J and Agent K that made the movie so memorable. The voice actors, particularly Keith Diamond as Agent J deliver their lines admirably. The writing was and still is relatively top-notch, with a healthy dose of humor. I used to watch it after "Superman: The Animated Series" and before "The New Batman/Superman Adventures" (later preceed by Pinky and the Brain and later Batman Beyond) on Kids WB Saturday mornings. I am HUGE fan of the Men In Black movies and I think "Men in Black: The Series" was a good continuation to the movies. In the cartoon version, Agent Kay (the Tommy Lee Jones character in the film) was back as a member of MiB, still partnered with Agent Jay (the Will Smith character). The rest of the series is extremely flawed. While the character designs are okay, the colors are extremely drab and lifeless, VERY characteristic of Sony animation. The soundtrack just drones on, particularly the monotone theme. Danny Elfman's movie score is WAY better. Heck, they even brought over an instrumental version of Will Smith's catchy but forgettable rap song "Men in Black" that played during the closing credits. Why couldn't they use the original movie theme? But the soundtrack is the least of the series' problems. While the series does right to bring back Agents J, K and Elle as well as Zed, some of other character additions are questionable. The Worms? They were mildly funny break room puppets in the arcade, but their squeaky voices and obsession with coffee in the series is definitely pushing it. It wouldn't be half as annoying if they didn't build ENTIRE EPISODES around them. Jeeves? Maybe, but if he keeps selling contraband to alien terrorists, why doesn't he get arrested? The head-shrinking thing was funny just once. Frank the Pug? Why? The show fails to be fully faithful to the movie - it seems like the MIB shoot first and ask questions later in the animated series. As a result, the slick image of the MIB from the movie is totally lost. Sometimes it's a wonder that they blow so many things up and get into firefights and are never noticed. The new characters are just plain bad. Agent Elle's partner Agent X is just terribly annoying. Elle was way better as a lab technician. And what's up with her personality shift? She's gone from the cool personality in the movie and up until season five to a crazy hothead. Even more annoying is the over-happy new alien lab technician. Someone should blast that moron with a noisy cricket. Men in Black: The series may be decent enough for little kids, but for older viewers, it's certainly a far cry from Batman: The Animated Series. While is does try to add some coherent continuity and decent storylines, it's extremely disappointing for fans of the movie like me and cartoon enthusiasts. This was a pretty awesome show think it had the same artist and writers of The Real Ghostbusters (season 3), Alf: The Animated Series/Alf Tales, Starcom: The U.S. Space Force, Dennis the Menace (season 2), C.O.P.S., Alvin and the Chipmunnks (seasons 6 & 7), The Simpsons (seasons 3-31), The Critic, Jumanji: The Series, King of the Hill, Extreme Ghostbusters, Men in Black: The Series, Godzilla: The Series, Futurama, Heavy Gear: The Animated Series, and Dragon Tales series. This show is a.k.a. MIB: The Series, MIB: The Animated Series, and Men in Black: The Animated Series. This show is based on both the early 90s Malibu Comic (which itself was bought out by Marvel Comics) by Lowell Cunningham and the hit 1997 Sci-Fi comedy blockbuster starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.

I LOVE the MIB series. It still retained the gritty quirky vibe the movies had even if some thing weren't exactly the same as the movie.

Have never watched the show. I remember seeing the theme song over 10 years ago on tv. The monsters and the music creeped me out and to be honest I still find this theme song to be very unsettling

I adored this series, it has such good world building and they did Ghostbuster animated series thing by having it be "The real world version" of the movies which is very clever It's a shame the sequels couldn't pull from this because Alpha would make for an awesome movie villian and it's also a crime that Linda Fiorentino never got anything big after MIB and Dogma

3:10 The Real Ghostbusters cartoon did this first. In that series, the live action movie is based on the events that happened in the cartoon. there was even an episode where the cartoon Ghostbusters were watching real footage from the 1984 Ghostbusters movie.

Seriously? There was a lot of great episodes of MIB. That time Kay shared a psychic link with a psychopathic alien; when Frank was being hunted b/c he turned stoolie on his pyromanic prison-mate; everytime Alpha appeared in an episode was genuinely unnerving, especially the episode when he stole Zed's brain.

Dead serious, Godzilla: The Series and Jackie Chan Adventures are on my top 10 best, non comic book based, animated series for children.

What had grabbed me for the brief time watching it was a season arc leading up to an attempted invasion. I remember picking up on the plot points that indicated that. By this time serialized TV was getting commonplace but not for animated TV shows. Plus a bangin theme song. Also funny you mention Batman Beyond because that show came on right before or right after MIB.

I always loved this show. Definitely agree the character designs have that Peter Chung/Aeon Flux style, with the lanky drawn out characters. I love that style.

Quick correction: All the things that happened in the first MIB movie actually happened in the animated series universe too. A comic called Men in Black Retribution bridges the first film to the animated series and explains how K got his memory back in the animated series universe
