AND THERE WAS MUCH DEFECATION!
Adult Swim has decided to give three of their most beloved shows some movie revivals. That’s right; movies for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse and the recently canceled The Venture Bros.
Moreover, the movies won’t simply be headed to HBO Max. They’ll get a worldwide release via Blu-ray/DVD and PVOD and electronic-sell-through (EST), with a 90-day window before heading to Warner’s HBO Max streaming service.
Leveraging the power of WarnerMedia allows us to deliver original content to our amazingly dedicated and not-shy fans, while also giving our talented series creators an opportunity to tell stories in new and interesting ways.

The Aqua Teen Hunger Force film is probably the wildcard of the three. Mostly down to the fact that the show was mostly random in nature. Hopefully they treat Carey Means a bit better this time.
A continuation of the hit animated series, fans will find out what happens next with Frylock, Meatwad and Master Shake, who consider themselves crime fighters, but the truth is they never fight crime. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is created by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis and follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products living in New Jersey.
Metalocalypse on the other hand has a stated synopsis:
The power-hungry TRIBUNAL unveils their secret and deadly ‘Falconback Project’ as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth’s atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of Dethklok. Picking up directly after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth: Can Dethklok choose between their egos and the greater good of the world to embark on a gauntlet of dangers that will try their very souls and finally write the song that will be their salvation?
The Venture Bros. (which was coincidentally the last of these to be canceled) film, however, has promised some payoff to long-standing questions revolving around the past:
Doc’s latest invention will either bankrupt the Ventures or launch them to new heights, as Hank searches for himself, Dean searches for Hank, The Monarch searches for answers, and a mysterious woman from their pasts threatens to bring their entire world crashing down on them. The Venture Bros. is created, written and executive produced by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.
Personally, I’m pretty glad to see them eat the pennies. I’d imagine Metalocalypse fansare also at the very least placated… for the time being.
