The animatic trailer for the hopeful future animated series Captain Extraordinary, based off the comics, and starring Harry Potter's Matthew Lewis in the title role, was released this week. That can be seen here.

The team behind Captain Extraordinary alerted SnitchSeeker earlier this year that negotiations are in place to hopefully bring the series either to television or online this or next year.

EXTRAORDINARY. WHY BE ANYTHING ELSE?

Buckle-up your jetpack and join our canine hero as he embarks on crazy comic adventures, protecting the strange and wonderful inhabitants of the Extraordinariverse from the mysterious and fearsome ‘Forces of Extreme Naughtiness.’

Introducing the animated laugh-out-loud comedy show featuring the mad-cap adventures of Captain Extraordinary® in the amazing Extraordinariverse.
Hold on tight...
...it’s going to be...
...EXTRAORDINARY!

Captain Extraordinary is a fun-filled 26 episode series of 22 minute fast-paced, laugh-out-loud animated comedy shows aimed at the 8 – 12 year old market. The show has a wacky tone that constantly delivers on laughs, without spilling over into the more anarchic cartoon bracket.

But what makes this different? What sets it apart from other shows... and why do we believe so strongly in what we have created?
Back in the day, comic book heroes were originally created for children. For the most part these have now been hijacked by the adult population, with the mainstream genre becoming ever darker and more violent, with complex mature themes at the core of their storylines. The void left behind is very apparent when one has a young child who thrives on fantasy hero stories, but seeks the fun, adventure and amusement aspect as opposed to ‘grounded’ gritty violence. And let’s not forget why ‘comic’ books got their name in the first place, all those years ago – humour is a vital element that binds the whole experience together. It needs to be FUN!!

Captain Extraordinary and the Extraordinariverse is all about putting a new generation of ‘comic book’ heroes (and villains) back into the hands, lives and imaginations of our children.

But more than that...

It is about creating a show with fantastic characters, humour and adventure, that will totally appeal to your 8-12 year old market. A show with layered humour, spoof elements and aside gags that will also appeal to parents. A show where real violence, dangerous weaponry and death have no part to play, making it totally suitable for the younger 5-7 year old market who would appreciate it simply for its overtly funny nature.

Parents can feel secure in the fact that their child is investing their time, energy and imagination in a series where real violence, dangerous weaponry and death have no part to play, and the emphasis is on escapism, fun, laughter... and more laughter!

Captain Extraordinary is good, clean, entertainment for all the family. The show does have a certain subtle ‘British feel’, but is not overtly UK-centric. It has the potential to be a great internationally loved brand with British roots – commanding the same confidence that franchises such as Wallace and Gromit, Harry Potter, Doctor Who and the Bond series do.

It has great potential across all media – TV, books – both printed and online, apps, feature films and the huge toy market. We believe we have the product to do it all.
We know it is extraordinary.
But...
...why be anything else?

This animatic trailer would not have been possible without the talents of Richard Dinnick, Andrew Edwards, Beth Chalmers, Dan Starkey, VTR North, London Voice Boutique, and Matthew Lewis as Captain Extraordinary.
