Alicia I love this movie so much
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
lisafordeay 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.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).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.But do not watch Son Of The Mask,that is just terrible.
Salazar I loved "The Mask" movie as a kid and I still do. Shortly after the huge success of the film, "The Mask: The Animated Series" was spawned. It's basically the continuing adventures of Stanley Ipkiss with some changes such as Stanley and Peggy going out, Tina not being in the show, Stanley being able to use the Mask by day as well as night and blah, blah, blah, but don't let it stop you from watching the show: it's a truly excellent satire all served with sly humour.Like other "Mask" fans, I want the show to come back on television, be released on DVD (and NOT just two episodes on the "Son of the Mask" special edition!) and possibly a few more new seasons. Unfortunately, that horrible monstrosity of "Son of the Mask" has absolutely murdered and slaughtered the entire "Mask" franchise. So it's unlikely that us "Mask" fans will be getting any of it. (Damn you, "SIN of the Mask"!!!) Ah well, I still have fond memories of the "The Mask:TAS" and there's also clips on YouTube as well as the full episode "Flight as a Feather".All in all, "The Mask: TAS" was an excellent satirical cartoon that catered to both kid and adult "Mask" fans world over and if it weren't for "Son of the Mask", I'm sure we would of had our wishes fulfilled.I'll never forget "The Mask: The Animated Series".
Carycomic *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.
TheMan3051 After the enormous success of The Mask it seemed obvious that a sequel would be in the works. But as we all know we never got that sequel. Instead we got something better! An animated series which is faithful to the movies and "maybe" the comics. I've never read the comics but I suppose. Anyhow, the plots were amazing and the characters and villians were greatly developed. This was truly a fun show. It was great. And Rob Paulsen (Pink & the Brain) did a great voice over! And in my opinion after seeing this great show there really is no need for a sequel. I wouldn't mind one but there is no need.
