Hasbro’s Entertainment One (eOne) is rolling the D&d dice — betting that Dungeons & Dragons fans will flock to a new free, ad-supported streaming television (Fast) channel dedicated to the fantasy franchise it’s prepping for a summer launch.
The Dungeons & Dragons Adventures Fast channel is expected to be available on “a number” of platforms but eOne has not cut any distribution deals as yet, according to the company.
The channel will feature a slate of original celebrity-focused unscripted series, including “Encounter Party,” “Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill!” and “Heroes’ Feast,” as well as catalog content including the 1980s “Dungeons & Dragons” animated series. In addition, the Fast channel is to feature third-party content from top internet creators and influencers with a focus on live gameplay.

Will Ryan, the veteran voice actor known for breathing life into such classic Disney characters as Willie the Giant and Peg-Leg Pete, who also once served as the president of international animation organization Asifa, died on Friday afternoon following a short battle with cancer. He was 72.
Ryan’s passing was confirmed to Deadline by his CelebWorx agent, Nery Lemus.
Born on May 21, 1949, Ryan embarked on his career in the 1980s, finding a breakthrough role in the pteranodon Petrie from Universal’s animated dinosaur classic, The Land Before Time. He’d go on to amass more than 100 screen credits in his nearly four-decade career, nabbing nominations from the Annie Awards and the WGA Awards, and winning a Behind the Voice Actor Award. Ryan was also nominated for an Emmy in 1998 as the producer of Outstanding Children’s Program contender The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, from Nickelodeon and The Jim Henson Company.

The villains of Sailor Moon season 5 have been cast!
When we covered Viz Media’s announcement of the new voice talent joining the Sailor Moon family, we couldn’t help but note a few absences. While we got the casting info for the Sailor Starlights, Sailor Galaxia, and Chibi-Chibi, there was nothing on Galaxia’s henchwomen, the Sailor Animamates.
Well, ask and you shall receive!
It’s been just barely a week, and we now know who will portray these animal/metal-themed villains of Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars.
First up is Katie Leigh as Sailor Iron Mouse, the first agent of Shadow Galactica to face off with the Sailor Guardians, whose childlike cuteness betrays a nasty mean streak. Leigh hasa few anime credits to her name, but her voice-over career goes waaay back, and English-speaking audiences would probably know her best as Alex from Totally Spies,...

After unreasonably blaming his Dad for keeping his identity a secret, the angry and embarrassed Lucas runs away from home. His search for Monster Island and his real roots takes him on a fabulously scary journey that puts him face to face with more tentacles, fangs and far-out situations than he can shake one of his new wings at. Ultimately Lucas learns that being a freak, isn’t freaky – it means you’re a member of a brand new type of family you can proudly call your own.

If you were a young Muppet fan in the 1980s, Jim Henson's Muppet Babies series was surely a staple of your cartoon viewing. And now, a popular character from that TV show has returned after nearly 20 years away.
The idea for Jim Henson's Muppet Babies followed a dream sequence from The Muppets Take Manhattan feature film. In the movie, Miss Piggy imagines toddler versions of herself and her friends singing together in a nursery.
That idea was turned into a cartoon series in which the young characters would make up stories and get into messes. The show was unique in that each episode typically integrated live-action footage from well-known movies with animation. Voice artists for the series include Greg Berg, Dave Coulier, Katie Leigh, Howie Mandel, Laurie O'Brien, Russi Taylor, Frank Welker, and Barbara Billingsley.
