Get Ready for a Wild Ride!
The renowned studio, Nacelle Company, known for its successful Netflix shows such as “The Toys That Made Us” and “The Movies That Made Us”, has taken hold of the rights to the timeless animated series “Biker Mice From Mars”. With big plans in store, Nacelle is eager to bring back the adventurous trio to fans both old and new. In this piece, we delve deeper into the Biker Mice from Mars and their history, as well as what the future holds for the property with Nacelle at the wheel.
The Biker Mice: A Look Back
Debuting in 1993, from the mind of Rick Ungar, the Biker Mice from Mars instantly won over fans with their blend of humor, action, adventure, and music. The series was created as a response to the popularity of other anthropomorphic animal characters like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This time the main characters were anthropomorphic mice: Throttle (voiced by Rob Paulsen), Modo (voiced by Dorian Harewood), and Vinnie (voiced by Ian Ziering), who escaped a war on their home planet Mars before arriving to defend the Earth from the same evil that destroyed their homeland. These survivors turned heroic vigilantes, (who were inseparable from their motorcycles and toys), quickly took to plotting a way to stop the evil schemes of the villainous Lawrence Limburger (voiced by W. Morgan Sheppard) who was actually a Plutarkian disguised as a human. The show quickly became a fan favorite and ran for three seasons with 65 episodes released.
The Future is Looking Furry
With Nacelle now in possession of the property, the future of the Biker Mice from Mars is looking bright. The company is in the process of developing a re-imagined animated series and a brand new toyline. CEO Brian Volk-Weiss revealed the news at comicbook.com, stating: “Biker Mice is the perfect way to start 2023 off with a Mars-based bang! And they’ll fit in, with their unique, creative brilliance, with the rest of brands we’ve recently acquired.”
What to Expect from the Re-Imagined Animated Series
Although it’s still too early to predict what the new animated series will entail, Nacelle Company’s reputation for producing high-quality, well-received shows gives us confidence that the Biker Mice from Mars will receive the same level of care and attention to detail.
