According to the Cartoon Network the debut of the new Fantastic Four cartoon series, which took place last Saturday night at 8pm (ET, PT), was an unqualified success boosting ratings for the series' target demo,  kids 6-11, by 19%.   Produced in France by Moonscoop, the new FF series combines anime-like visuals (see 'Fantastic Four Toon Has Strong Anime Feel') with story elements and characters such as Ronin the Accuser from the comic book continuity.

Marvel has a number of animated series slated to debut on television in the next year including a Wolverine series produced in India (see 'Wolverine is the Focus of New X-Men Cartoon') and an Iron Man toon  (see 'Iron Man, Toon First Feature Later'), both of which are scheduled to premier in the fall of 2007.
