The series is part of a slate of new preschool animated shows at Netflix, including ‘Hot Wheels Let’s Race’ and ‘Dee & Friends in Oz’.
The Big Picture The Universal Classic Monsters have met Abbott and Costello, and they've been turned into Transformers, but their latest incarnation may be their strangest yet. They've been resurrected as a bunch of kid-friendly animated vehicles on Mighty MonsterWheelies, Netflix's new preschool animated series.
The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Netflix will launch Mighty MonsterWheelies, a co-production with Dreamworks Animation Television. The show will center around half-monster, half truck vehicles, including a Dracula helicopter, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein fire trucks, a Wolf Man street sweeper, and a Mummy ambulance, as they race to save the vehicular city of MotorVania from villains like Phantom Freeze and the Invisible Van.
Do Kids Love the Universal Monsters? The Universal Monsters films were always popular with young audiences during their theatrical rampage through the '30s and '40s, and gained a new audience when they were syndicated for television decades later. Universal Monster iconography, whether officially-licensed by Universal or not, remains commonplace, in everything from action figures, breakfast cereals, or even movies like The Monster Squad.
The series will launch with two other Netflix preschool-aimed series based on existing IP: Hot Wheels Let's Race and Dee & Friends in Oz. Hot Wheels Let's Race is the latest piece in Mattel's aggressive strategy to exploit and adapt their toy properties, which began with a bang with this summer's Barbie. A Hot Wheels theatrical movie, adapting the classic toy cars, is in the works.
Mighty MonsterWheelies, Hot Wheels Let's Race, and Dee & Friends in Oz will all debut in 2024. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
