I hear they're coming out with "Son of the Mask" in a year or two.

*Might be some spoilers*  That's why I'm contributing to the index of comments on this cartoon series now.  Because, when the sequel does hit theaters, Ted Turner will probably buy the telecast rights for Cartoon Network.  Not to mention, the video/DVD distribution rights!  Which means, this branch of IMDB will then be crowded like a "New Yawk" subway at rush hour!   In any event, I found the cartoon series to be just as hilarious as the movie.  There was one episode that poked some good-natured fun at WB's "Animaniacs" (where Rob Paulsen was simultaneously employed, back then). Another episode had the Mask finding himself constantly out-tricked by a Zatanna-type magician-cum-jewel-thief named "Davida Steelmine!"  But, the most suspenseful episodes had to be the run-ins with Dr. Pretorious and his pet cyborg Walter.   Tim Curry always does great villain-voices, and the not-so-good doctor tops my personal list of them.  One final note: I once wrote to the PR department of the original movie's production company, asking them if there would ever be a sequel.  They said, "yes," and estimated _1998_ as the release date!  So, guys, if you're reading this? PLEASE, STICK A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE NEW ESTIMATE! OK? Thanks.
