Jim Henson's MarvelBabies

Are they frickin' SERIOUS?!?! I thought the whole Babification of solid characters had died back in the 90's with stuff like "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo"!

I hate hate HATE the studio execs who think that Kids can't/won't watch a show with adults in it, especially when they're just youngifying an already established childrens property! Who said "Gee these puppets and cartoons are funny and friendly and nice... but aren't they a bit too *edgy*? Can't we make them less threatening by making them Babies or something?"

But of course the best one of all time has to be... JAMES BOND JR.

I guess that's one way to take an alcoholic womanizer and stick him in a kid friendly hero cartoon. I don't like it. Bad Marvel. Bad.

It started with Muppet Babies, which was so incredibly successful that they started many more child-version shows. A Pup Named Scooby Doo was right in the middle of the fad in the 80's. Tiny Toons was around the end of the fad. They moved on to teen versions of characters later, as shown by James Bond Jr. They've been doing teen versions of a lot of characters lately, though.

But Tony Stark/Ironman as a teenager? Just doesn't fly for me.

What made Ironman a great character was Tony Stark. Stark and all his problems.

Just another way to ruin a good thing...

ooo, ooo...what about Muppet Babies? But I always liked them. Their theme song was kickass.
