Namco Bandai working on 3D Pac-Man animated series

“We wanted to keep Pac-Man the same lovable guy he has always been, but [put him] in the 21st century. We [also] wanted to talk about real stories and … see how they can relate to our lives, being in high school and being a teenager. At the end of the day, it’s the story of a reluctant hero. We feel we have a unique opportunity to have an action adventure, human interest story. As a filmmaker, it’s a unique opportunity to get to know the characters you play. … We don’t know what happened to Pac-Man’s parents. He’s the only yellow one in Pac-Land; what does that mean? Is it a social statement? We’ll find out.” - Avi Arad, executive adviser

If that doesn’t sound a little strange, I bet the next part does. In the series, Pac-Man will actually be friends with the ghosts from the game series. They will all work together to stop…other evil ghosts. Man, this show sounds like a trip!
