One of my happiest childhood memories was when my dad came home from shopping and surprised me with a Wolverine action figure!! I had already started my X-Men collection, but hadn’t been able to find Wolverine. I wanted a Wolverine figure more than any other character, although Gambit was also on the short list, but my dad KNEW Wolverine was my absolute favorite character. I hadn’t expected my dad to check the toy aisle while he was picking up a few household items, let alone actually buy a toy for me. He just happened to check on a whim as we had taken many trips to Toys R Us at this point and I always left empty handed. My dad officially became the absolute coolest dad in the universe that night.

3-3-19 Wow I never knew that Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Beast were all Shakespearean actors in Canada. I wonder how they were able to have the time to act on stage, and forward their Mutant causes... Morph was probably their acting coach. All kidding aside, thank you for this interview. I have many childhood memories with this show. I still remember watching the pilot, on Halloween 1992 at 11:30 am on Fox 5-- I had just gotten Superman The Man of Steel #18 the same day. I loved the show as a kid, and was blown away at how serious and at times dark it was compared to other shows at the time. I loved the animation, specifically the studio that worked on the first season-- before the Fantastic Four style animation (I never liked that style). My dream X-Men show would be the Toei style animation from Pryde, combined with the dark and dramatic tone and writing of the Fox X-men. I also owned most of the ToyBiz figures, the VHS tapes (Enter Magneto/Deadly Reunions was the first I owned), I also had X-men Children of the Atom for Sega Saturn, and X-Men Mutant Apocalypse for Super Nintendo. In all fairness though shows like Super Friends and most American 1970's and 1980's cartoon shows were toned down, due to some parents complaining about violence-- thats why shows of the 1970's and 1980's were softened (unless it was robots getting destroyed). Before that, action cartoon shows were at times dramatic and violent (just look at Jonny Quest). One of the cool things related to this show, is that many of the voice actors were later in Resident Evil games-- the voice recording for the original Resident Evil 2 were recorded in the same voice over studio as the X-Men show.

This was great Doug! It was hilarious when the creators started making chicken noises at you, and they gave great info. I have interesting memories of this show - I watched it very young in the late 2000's, and the reruns were mostly on, once later in the day as it had long since ended. I had no idea how immensely popular it was until I was much older, it seemed like a little show that didn't get much attention to me. It used to air back-to-back with the 90's Spider-Man show. I remember both shows being entertaining, but actually a bit depressing (not in a bad way, it's just that serious things happened in both, and the tone was very palpable to me). I had never experienced a show with a darker tone and this was new to me - Sad things always seemed to happen in both - Spider-Man was always getting blamed for things by the media, or blaming himself for things, and X-Men eps were often filled with tragedy - Rogue couldn't touch anyone and was depressed, I remember the "Beauty and the Beast" episode being especially depressing, I really felt for Beast not getting to be with the person he loved, and all the anti-mutant hysteria and hatred. Professor X's relationship with Juggernaut, Lady Deathstrike's hatred for Wolverine etc. There was quite a bit of lighter stuff too though. I remember seeing both shows as epics, and that made them especially enthralling. There was a mythology that both had, that was awe-inspiring in scope and extremely exciting when it came to pondering whatever the future could hold in such richly developed and well-defined worlds. These were really great childhood shows to be thankful for, and gave so much more colour to life with all the imaginative stuff on display. Anyway, please review X-Men: Evolution and Wolverine and the X-Men for X-Men Month Doug! Remember it's on film that you've committed to this, and now there's no going back!

Eric and Julia Lewald truly changed my life. I fell in love with the X-Men Animated Series so I went to my local comic shop to check out the comics. While there I met the owners Granddaughter and after a few years as friends we started dating. We have been married for 23 years and have 3 children. All because 2 people I never met created an awesome cartoon that made me check out some comics and the cute girl that just happened to be helping her grandfather that day. Thank you for everything!!

[@Optidorf]

The reason why X-Men was ultimately so good: 29:55 Julia Lewald gets it though when talking about the death of Xavier. You'll only do that when you love the work you're creating, even after all those years.

[@imaginepeace63]

These two should work with Kevin Fiege to get the MCU X-men movies done.

It's thanks to George Buza who vices Beast in this series, that Kelsey Grammer even got to play Beast X3. Thanks to this show people were asking "wheres Hank MaCoy at in the movies??", Beast became a fan fav.

Buza was also in the 1st movie. He was one of the trucker guys in the scene with Wolverine and Sabertooth.

I'm truly happy these shows appeared on Dutch television during my youth. It was SO GOOD!

[@jamesg6660]

@@Whovian103 Uh, "PG" stands for "parental guidance" (you might've been making a joke though. I honestly can't tell). Either way, I've not seen The Incredibles 2. All I know is that nowadays movie ratings are notoriously oversensitive. Back to the Future from 1985, which has characters saying things like "shit", "goddamn", "assholes", ect, sexual assault, and a mother & son incest plotline, was rated PG when it first came out. If that movie was released nowadays it'd be lucky if it got as low PG-13.

[@RoarTheRapper]

Amazing that X-men had such a long journey to get to where it was. It was fascinating to hear you talk about the probability that children weren't ready for something like X-men too.

Kubo Edgeworth I think you’re right because I’m pretty sure I remember reading a Deadpool comic that had him walking in on them the morning after to question Logan about something. And it ended with Wade bidding them farewell with storm, who was hiding under the covers and was unknown until he said her name, meekly saying goodbye back to him.
