PR News 01/12/08. Animated Power Ranger Series (2009) to be MMPR Reboot

[Knightfall]

Sources close to production are informing us that the upcoming Power Rangers animated series for 2009 will be a retelling/reboot of MMPR.

We have been able to additionally confirm that the pilot submitted to Disney is actually a retelling of MMPR's "Day of the Dumpster."

This news may not agree with many fans as this new PR continuity would essentially replace the existing live action one. "Jungle Fury" currently remains the final season in the existing PR continuity.

Disney currently refuses to confirm the existence of the animated project to avoid harrassment from fans regarding the cancellation of the live action medium.

Does "Power Rangers" desperately need an animated reboot/retelling at this time in order to save the franchaise?

We will keep everyone updated as more news comes in.
