Hefner, Stan Lee team for Superbunnies:
from the Hollywood Reporter via CNN:
"MTV has ordered an animated pilot for 'Hef's Superbunnies,' a collaboration between cartooon veteran Lee's newly launched Pow! Entertainment and Playboy's Alta Loma Entertainment division. Hefner's name and likeness will be featured in the pilot, and he also might provide the voice of his cartoon alter ego.
"Hefner said he sparked to the notion of being involved with an edgy, sexy animated series as soon as Lee, the mastermind behind such Marvel comic book legends as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, approached him with the 'Superbunnies' concept.
"'Stan and I go back a long ways, and he simply felt it was time for me to reveal my secret identity,' Hefner said. 'You all know me as the editor in chief and publisher of Playboy. But late at night when everyone assumes I'm in the grotto living the good life, I'm out there with the Superbunnies fighting evildoers...'"
