Babylon 5 animated movie in the works

Reason for this to exist: It has the attacking horde of shadows they could never afford to do in live action.

Some cartoony action lines going on here, but I can deal.

Well, it IS a cartoon, so...

It seems like this is happening in the timeline where the Shadows blow up Babylon 4 rather than it being sent back in time to the last Shadow War. There's a bit with Ivanova that is right out of War Without End.

It just feels disconnected from the live show. I'm ok with it being a bit more action hero I guess.

Zathras is pleased by how Zathras skin turned out, also why does no one listen to Zathras ever?

I'm just confused as to whether it's Zathras, or Zathras.

The number of voice actors that had to replace passed away cast members still makes me wince, too many gone too early, but I'm here for more B5.

We are all Zathras.

So it looks liek the animation will definately have a much different look and feel to the live action, more than I was expecting. There is definately a more "child-like" energy to the animation, as to opposed to a more serious look.

Personally I'm not thrilled at more time travel. I mean he literally just did this 3 years ago in his timeframe. But I assume its so we can go to all the old stomping grounds and give the fans what they want, so for that piece I'm on board.

If they want to tie up loose ends, they have to do time travel, because we have already seen glimpses of an alternative timeline (possibly two) in which the shadows attack B5 directly.
