With the 20th anniversary approaching of Director Kyle Roberts' favorite cartoon growing up, he wanted to see if his team could recreate the 1992 X-Men cartoon animated intro using action figures and stop motion! With over 4,000 individual pictures taken, Roberts spent two months rotoscoping and animating all of the special effects.

Art director Nathan Poppe drew over 60 background images used in this project with his "doodle" style rad artwork. Colin Nance and Zach Zellar recreated the original theme from scratch

That two minute stop motion film was more entertaining than the last two X-Men movies combined.

Batman:TAS is my favorite cartoon of the 90's, but X-Men has probably the coolest intro to a cartoon I've ever seen. Every time I hear that theme song, I have the urge to go kick some ass. It's that cool.

Very well done. One small bone to pick. I know for a fact that when they are running at each other, Blackhawk is on the Brotherhood side.

Like I said, very small bone. I give it an A-!

Does it bug anyone else that he put in Pryde of the X-Men and obviously making a title sequence for the X-Men animated series.

Oh, dear, I loved this show when I was a kid and I had very fond memories of it.
However those memories were crushed by an integral rewatch I did two years ago, it really doesn't hold up like Batman TAS, especially the writing.

That was great! I loved this show as a kid. I hope Marvel plans to release the TV show in season sets. They would sell like hot cakes!

The Gambit action figure looks really cool.

Lol, the new updated sound effects threw me off. In my head, I was imagining the sounds effects from the actual intro.

i don't ever remember Nightcrawler in the opening...but this was really cool. That takes a lot of work, and time. Bravo for putting that together. That girl is freakin' cute too by the way.
