The further adventures of Stanley Ipkiss and his magic reality defying mask. In Edge City, Stanley Ipkiss tries to live a normal life, but the ever-present magic Mask of Loki in his possession has other plans. Now, whenever there is evil or Stanley is in danger or annoyed, he cannot resist donning the artifact to become The Mask, a manic superhero unbounded by anything, including physical reality. Against various villains who scheme against the city or try to gain the Mask of Loki for themselves, The Mask is not just powerful, he's smokin. After the 1994 movie The Mask came out what better way for Hollywood to do but to release a TV show based on this film. The animated series which aired from 1995-1997 is about a man named Stanley Ipkiss who lives in Edge City with his dog Milo and works as a bank clerk in Edge City Bank where everyone treats him like a loser and a sore thumb. One night however he stumbles across the mask(pretty much like the Jim Carrey one minus Tina Caryle played by Cameron Diaz)and Stanley puts it on and turns into the zoot-suited creature dubbed The Mask.From here on in mayhem occurs.<br/><br/>Rob Paulsen(who voiced one of the charcthers in Animanics and the voice of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid 2)did a fantastic job as the voice of Stanley/The Mask. I even loved how they made the charcther just like Jim Carrey(you could say it was him but with a different voice and in cartoon form).<br/><br/>Overall this was a childhood classic and I used to watch it everyday on TV. If you haven't seen it I suggest you go and watch it.<br/><br/>But do not watch Son Of The Mask,that is just terrible. Considering the pile of crap that infests CN in the present, this series really stood out during the time it released (I'm talking about a really long time ago) and was quite innovative in many ways. It was honestly very good. It was quite surprisingly extremely funny using its own unique style of humor. No it is no where nearly as good as the movie itself, which is quite strange, although the movie itself would be something very difficult to live up to and match using animation. It did sometimes almost border on adult themes like the movie but is mostly kids stuff. Very very entertaining for its time although I don't know how viable it would be today as I have'nt really watched it years?
