Seeking to take advantage of tax breaks in France, Marvel has commissioned two animated short series for Ant-Man and Rocket Raccoon & Groot.  No official word yet but it's likely these shorts will debut as part of the Disney XD's Marvel Universe programming block that already includes Marvel's Avengers Assemble, Guardians of the Galaxy and Ultimate Spider-Man.  

French directors Ugo Bienvenu and Kevin Manach will team to tackle Ant-Man while Arnaud Delord will handle the Rocket & Groot shorts.  What's your take on these kinds of projects.  A while back, Cartoon Network did something similar with its DC Nation Shorts.   Eventually, this type of programming could be used to highlight some lesser known characters in the Marvel catalog.

Whatever happened to the animated movies? They had some decent ones and totally just gave up on the animations.
We want more!

@slickrickdesigns - They should make a word for word adaptation of Civil War, the comics version of course. Probably need to be in 3 feature length parts.

Who asked for a spin-off of one of the most mind-numbingly bad cartoons in recent history (GOTG)?

If they want to highlight lesser known characters in the Marvel catalog they should pick characters that aren't already in the movies.
