In 1982, [[Hanna-Barbera]] acquired the rights to produce a cartoon based on [[Pac-Man|the eponymous game]] in America, as part of a 90-minute omnibus with ''[[The Little Rascals]]'' and ''[[Richie Rich (comics)|Richie Rich]]''. Its characters are basically ''[[The Flintstones]]'' and the plot is basically ''[[The Smurfs]]''.
In 2010, filmmaker Avi Arad [http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118020718.html?categoryid=1050&cs=1 announced plans] for a new 3D cartoon show featuring a reimagining of Pac-Man. In this reality, [[High School AU|Pac-Man is a high school student]], but his world is definitely ''not'' going through [[Mundanization]]. Indeed, he will have to face ghosts who plan to [[Take Over the World]]. In fact, the only ghosts who are his allies are none other than Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Aside from the conflict, Pac-Man's stories are told through [[Slice of Life|slices of life]], and he is ultimately a [[I Just Want to Be Normal|reluctant hero]] in a world of [[Magic Realism]]. A trailer was shown at the Pac-Man 30th Birthday Party at E3 2010, and is viewable [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-pac-man/700876 here]. The series will air on [[Disney XD]] in 2013.
