A 26 half-hour HD CGI series developed by Method Animation in co-production with the US's Marvel Animation, Iron Man: Armored Adventures will be making its small-screen debut across the world in 2009.
 
PGS have taken Iron Man: Armored Adventures, based on the popular Marvel Super Hero, Iron Man, to the international marketplace, and the series is set to air back on screens all over the world this year including; Nicktoons (USA), Teletoon (Canada), ABC (Australia), France 2 (France), Rai Gulp (Italy), Jetix (UK, France, Spain, Nordics, Eastern Europe and Latin America), Globo (Brazil), Televisa (Mexico), CTC (Russia), Cartoon Network (Asia) and Orlando Kids (Ex-Yugoslavia).
 
Iron Man: Armored Adventures centers on teenager Tony Stark, heir to a billion-dollar corporation. Tony lives a life of luxury, free to pursue his chief interests - seeking extreme thrills, solving scientific mysteries and creating mind-boggling inventions. But everything goes horribly wrong when a tragic accident robs Tony of his father and nearly costs him his own life. Now dependent on his own impressive technology for survival and dedicated to battling corruption, Tony must reconcile the pressure of teenage life with duties of a Super Hero. Inside his remarkable invention - an armor-plated suit - Tony Stark is geared for high-speed flight, high-tech battles and high-octane adventure!
 
Philippe Soutter, MD of PGS Entertainment said, "This brilliant series presents Iron Man as a teenager, which appeals to an even wider range of broadcasters worldwide.

Eric S. Rollman, President of Marvel Animation added, "Iron Man: Armored Adventures is a vital part of Marvel's Iron Man brand as it broadens the dimensions of the characters by making them more accessible to a younger audience while respecting the core characteristics for the hard core fans.  The incredible visuals and high quality CGI production in this series are a rare treat for any viewer and the ratings support that enthusiasm."
 
Aton Soumache, Chairman and CEO of Method Animation commented, "It has really been an honor to produce a show based on such an iconic character. We worked hard to deliver the very best superhero to the screen - pushing the boundaries of HD CGI to create a high-octane show packed with truly breathtaking action sequences.
