Disney working on new 'Star Wars' animated series

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 10:07 PM PDT

Lucasfilm announced on the Starwars.com website that it is ending its animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars in order to launch a new one.

The program, to be shown on the Disney XD channel, will explore a time period that has never been broached by the saga on film or TV.

After five seasons, The Clone Wars is coming to an end even though there were plans for a sixth season. Lucasfilm wants to take a "new direction" through a series that will focus on completely new events. The studio said more details will be revealed over the next few months.

Since it was bought by Disney last October, Lucasfilm has been modernizing its legendary saga. J.J. Abrams will give it a new lease of life at the cinema when he directs the seventh episode, set for release in 2015.

HELSINKI (Reuters) - The makers of Angry Birds are launching a cartoon series this weekend, expanding further beyond its highly addictive games in a bid to expand entertainment and merchandising.

Rovio, the company behind the popular mobile app game Angry Birds, said the cartoons will feature adventures of birds that appear in its games.

Angry Birds Toons can be downloaded through on-demand services, and will also air on television channels such as FOX8 in Australia, ANTV in Indonesia, Cartoon Network in India, and MTV3 Juniori and MTV3 in Finland, it said.

Rovio has expanded into merchandising and licensing in the past few years and its colourful, round bird characters are sold as stuffed animals and appear on everything from T-shirts to soda cans.

He might be 85 years old but he's still a favourite with kids and adults (c'mon admit it, you're one of them). And come this summer Mickey Mouse will be on Disney Channel more often with the channel's plans to a series of short cartoon featuring the beloved mouse.

The 19 cartoons, each a couple minutes long, are being produced with 2D animation to pay homage to the artistry of Walt Disney and his animators in the 1920s and 1930s, Walt Disney Co said in a statement on Tuesday.

Mickey will appear in modern settings, such as riding a motorcycle through Paris. He also will visit New York, Beijing, Venice and other cities and encounter other Disney characters, including Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.

The new cartoons will air on the Disney Channel, disney.com and the Watch Disney Channel mobile app starting 28 June, Disney said.

Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse in 1928. Mickey also appears in the computer-generated animated series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney Channel.
