If the parody blaxploitation film
Black Dynamite starring
Michael Jai White just wasnt enough to whet your appetite (Im sorry that rhymed), then you are in luck. This summer the
Black Dynamite animated series finally hits the Adult Swim block of Cartoon Network. The series continues the blaxploitation parody angle, but with an animation style similar to that of
The Boondocks, so theres a chance of more racial commentary and comedy this time instead of just spoof humor.
Plus, the films stars
Michael Jai White, Byron Minns, Tommy Davidson and
Kym Whitley all reprise their roles as Black Dynamite, Bullhorn, Cream Corn and Honeybee, respectively, along with new cast members like comedian
J.B. Smoove. You can hear and see them in their animated form now as the first trailer for the series has just debuted, with the series slated to premiere this summer on July 15th, the last day of Comic-Con 2012. See the trailer, two posters, and four images from the series.
Heres the trailer from Adult Swims YouTube:
Frankly, Im not sure how this is going to work out, mainly because its taken Adult Swim awhile to get this series on TV. The pilot itself was put on Adult Swims website last August and is just now coming to TV. I dont know if that means they dont have faith in the series, or logistics needed to be worked out for scheduling, but the series is finally hitting the air. The pilot follows Black Dynamite as he is assigned to stop a rogue educational show puppet from executing his diabolical plan on national television. Sounds like the silliness youd expect from a
Black Dynamite series.
Here are two posters and four images from
