The Invincible Iron-Man: Animated Series (also known in early promotional materials as Iron-Man: The New Animated Series) is a Canadian-American 3D CGI-animated series based on the Marvel Comics superhero Iron-Man. It debuted in the United States on Cartoon Network on April 24, 2009, and it aired on Jetix in Canada. The series is story edited by showrunner Christopher L. Yost, who also worked on The Astonishing X-Men: Animated Series, and numerous other Marvel Animation projects. The television show is not related to the 2007 animated film The Invincible Iron-Man; it has a different voice cast, but some story elements are similar and the show uses the same musical score as the film in some instances. It is the first Iron-Man television series since Iron-Man from 1994 to 1996, and started airing after the success of the live action Iron-Man film, which had been distributed by Cartoon Network’s sibling Paramount Pictures.
