Shared Universe - Animated Universes

Animated Universes

An animated universe is a derivative of the shared universe that applies to animated works, including animated television series and films, which share the same characters and continuity with each other; it may also derive from the characters and continuity of previous literary serial works, including comics, and may thus be termed by the literary work from whence it derived. Notable examples of the animated universe include:

  • DC animated universe (1992–2006)
  • Marvel animated universe (1992–2000)
  • Marvel new animated universe (2008-present)
  • Gundam "metaseries" (1979–present)

Famous quotes containing the word animated:

    Impenetrable in their dissimulation, cruel in their vengeance, tenacious in their purposes, unscrupulous as to their methods, animated by profound and hidden hatred for the tyranny of man—it is as though there exists among them an ever-present conspiracy toward domination, a sort of alliance like that subsisting among the priests of every country.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
