== Animation: ==
The series is animated using Cinema 4D XL 7 and Adobe After Effects 6.5 Pro software. Compared to the original show, which was targeted towards younger children, this series has more detailed graphics and darker colors to appeal to older viewers aged 8-15 years old as well as fanboys/fangirls of the original show who grew up with it.

Samurai Jack, He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (2002 TV Series), Dexter's Laboratory & Invader Zim .

== Home media: ==
All episodes have been released on DVD in Canada and Region 1 by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment. A release in Region 4 has not yet been announced but is highly likely due to Decode's close relationship with Australian animation studio Fluid CGI (who provided most of the animation for this series) and distributors Madman Entertainment, who have released all previous Decode productions on DVD down under.
