Sounds cool but why just 5 minute episodes? I was hoping for more like 30 minute episodes!

It's what Cartoon Network did during the 1st season of the animated StarWars Clone Wars cartoon back in 2003. I think it's to test the market to gauge interest. I'm not sure how it works.But the 2nd season of the animated StarWars Clone Wars episodes were longer.

The five minute episodes can be both a blessing and a curse.
On the one hand, today's 'attention span deficient' viewers can more easily get hooked by the slick, quickly paced action. On the other hand, there isn't must room for actual plot to unfold. The difference between this and CLONE WARS (as I see it) is that the SW show used characters and followed a continuity that just about everyone, with the last movie fresh in their minds, knew. The Joe characters will be new to a lot of people, especially if the cast differ from the movie, so they may not get to 'know' them in the new series. But then Ellis is an experienced writer and can hopefully strike a balance.

Yeah, and look how we're embracing the new continuity of the movie
I realise that the more 'mature' fan is the intended target. I just thought that for this new series to have longevity (which I presume we all want) it would need to find a general audience beyond the fanbase.

All this talk about cartoons. Are we talking about an entirely new cartoon or bringing back the 80's ARAH cartoon?
