Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The Worst Film Ever

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

After the 1994 movie The Mask came out what better way for Hollywood to do but to release a TV show based on this film. The animated series which aired from 1995-1997 is about a man named Stanley Ipkiss who lives in Edge City with his dog Milo and works as a bank clerk in Edge City Bank where everyone treats him like a loser and a sore thumb. One night however he stumbles across the mask(pretty much like the Jim Carrey one minus Tina Caryle played by Cameron Diaz)and Stanley puts it on and turns into the zoot-suited creature dubbed The Mask.From here on in mayhem occurs.Rob Paulsen(who voiced one of the charcthers in Animanics and the voice of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid 2)did a fantastic job as the voice of Stanley/The Mask. I even loved how they made the charcther just like Jim Carrey(you could say it was him but with a different voice and in cartoon form).Overall this was a childhood classic and I used to watch it everyday on TV. If you haven't seen it I suggest you go and watch it.But do not watch Son Of The Mask,that is just terrible.

Then you are wrong. This show takes everything the movie did right and amplifies it a hundred-fold (incidentally, Son of the Mask takes everything this series did WRONG and amplifies it a million-fold).First, the casting. Rob Paulsen as Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask is PERFECT. Rob already sounds like a cartoon character in real life, so who better to voice a real-life cartoon character? In addition to the Mask, he also supplies the voices of several other characters, but you knew that when you looked at his IMDb profile. RIGHT?! Alongside Rob is Jim Cummings, who has his own list of supporting characters that he supplies the voices of. He's a bit more noticeable than Rob, but still talented enough so that you'd have to step back to realize it's him.The comedy in this show is all the Looney Tunery that the movie had with even less awkward moments. The Mask is now able to take full advantage of being animated and changes costumes, sizes, and appearance in a heartbeat, something that would be quite costly to do in the film. In addition to his catchphrases "Sssssmokin'!" and "Somebody stop me!", the show gave him a new one, the simple utterance of the word "WEDGIE!" before pulling someone's underwear over their head.The show still takes place in Edge City, the supporting characters are still there, the Mask is still considered a criminal by the police (not unjustly, I might add), and each episode offers new antics and the occasional appearance by Mr. Rent-A-Cartoon-Villain himself, Tim Curry. The animation isn't always top-notch, but the writing more than makes up for it.Alas, this show is nearly impossible to find online as New Line and Dark Horse seem to have gone out of their way to erase it from existence. WHY?! This was a GREAT show! If you're not going to use it, why not let us play with it for a while? Why not license it to CN? Why not reboot it? Son of the Mask was YEARS ago!

*Might be some spoilers* That's why I'm contributing to the index of comments on this cartoon series now. Because, when the sequel does hit theaters, Ted Turner will probably buy the telecast rights for Cartoon Network. Not to mention, the video/DVD distribution rights! Which means, this branch of IMDB will then be crowded like a "New Yawk" subway at rush hour! In any event, I found the cartoon series to be just as hilarious as the movie. There was one episode that poked some good-natured fun at WB's "Animaniacs" (where Rob Paulsen was simultaneously employed, back then). Another episode had the Mask finding himself constantly out-tricked by a Zatanna-type magician-cum-jewel-thief named "Davida Steelmine!" But, the most suspenseful episodes had to be the run-ins with Dr. Pretorious and his pet cyborg Walter. Tim Curry always does great villain-voices, and the not-so-good doctor tops my personal list of them. One final note: I once wrote to the PR department of the original movie's production company, asking them if there would ever be a sequel. They said, "yes," and estimated _1998_ as the release date! So, guys, if you're reading this? PLEASE, STICK A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE NEW ESTIMATE! OK? Thanks.

I saw the movie and decided to checkout the TV series. I actually found the TV show pretty good. The series is about a man who has a mask and when he puts it on he turns good. He was going to turn the mask into the cops but then decided to keep it. The Mask in the show isn't voiced by Jim Carrey he is voiced by Rob Paulsen. But an evil man is always after the mask.
