HERO INSIDE is the new children’s animated series from Cartoon Network and HBO Max that premieres on Friday, November 3, on the streaming platform and at 7 pm on the TV channel.
The animation’s plot follows the strange events following the disappearance of Scott, a mysterious cartoonist who, before disappearing, created 100 comic books featuring 100 different heroes. After the comic books spread throughout the city of San Francisco, Mike, a shy 13-year-old boy, ends up crossing paths with one of Scott’s creations, the story of the “Crying Man”. By pronouncing the hero’s name, the young man ends up summoning the Crying Man in the flesh.
Soon, other heroes from Scott’s comic books begin to appear around the city in response to the calls of their new bearers, who start to call themselves ‘the Readers’. However, strange events begin to occur when the heroes begin to carry out their wielders’ orders.
With chaos brewing in the city and superheroes being used by the Readers for their own ends, Mike embarks on a journey to discover the secret behind Scott’s creations and his mysterious disappearance.
HERO INSIDE was created and produced by Million Volt Animation Studios, with CJ ENM, Tencent Video and YGG Global as co-producers. DeAPlaneta Entertainment has joined as representative for Europe and Latin America.
