In the US it will be shown on the WB network, in the block of programming called KidsWB. See Press Release. The premier will be on September 22nd. The cartoon will also be shown in South Korea.

Why is this not in the same style as the 3D-animation trailer that was shown on YouTube?
The 3D-animation trailer was done by Paule Neale for Elliot Animation. Elliot Animation were not successful in obtaining the rights to produce the cartoon.

Who is the star of the show?
The show is going to focus on Tony Jones. He will be assisted by Edyn, a Naroom magi and Strag, an Underneath magi. Their opponents will be the Core magi lead by Agram.

Why is Tony's hair brown in colour? Isn't it supposed to be blonde?
Stupid blonde jokes aside, it has been speculated that Tony's hair colour was changed to a darker shade so that he could be more acceptable in South Korea.

Why does Edyn look like Tryn?
It has been speculated that Edyn is a renamed Tryn. No reasons have been given for the renaming of Tryn.

Who is Zed?
Zed is a Shadow magi and one half of Korg and Zed according to the official site. Based on that fact, it has been speculated that Zed is a renamed Zet. No reasons have been given for the renaming of Zet.

Why are Agram, Korg and Zed all shadow magi now? Aren't they supposed to be Core magi?
It seems that all "evil" magi are now called shadow magi instead of Core magi. No reason have been given for this.

Why is the Furok blue in colour?
Tony's Furok has always been different. In the Game Boy Color RPG, Tony was able to summon the Dream Creature from a piece of Animite just lying on the ground, apparently the same crystal he'd found back on Earth. Pruitt later mentions that this is a "good Furok" and to represent this Tony's Furok is far more powerful than any other of the same level.

Later on, when Interactive Imagination wrote a short story concerning Tony's arrival in the Moonlands, we first learn that Tony's Furok is blue. Eidon explains that Tony had 'magined' the Furok to be a different color, an ability that has not been seen in ages. Tony's Furok is also blue in the original (and unsuccessful) Magi-Nation trailer made in 2002.

In the upcoming cartoon series, Tony's Furok is now not only blue, but can apparently change colors based on it's mood based on the infomation at the official site.
