Season 5!

[Malkmusian offline]

Code Lyoko did had its fair share of "jumping the shark" moments. Season 2 caused a few fans to abandon the show. Season 3 did more damage. Season 4 also has their JTS moments.

I would be very interested in knowing where you get these facts, or if that's just your view on it.

Okay, timekitten, here is what he's saying:

Season 2 had fans dislike the show because it was revealed that Aelita wasn't an AI: she was Aelita Hopper.

Season 3 had William betray the gang and plus, we have to go with a sideplot of Odd's.

Season 4 introduced the Subdigitals, Aelita's last name as Schaeffer, and Franz being wiped out along with XANA.

Part of them are my views. Season 2, one of my friends stopped watching the show since he was more of a oldschool S1 fan and S2 was different from that. He also thought some episodes from Season 1 sucked (SVD, to cite on example) and that Jeremie wasn't being used well.

Also, it hurt Code Lyoko fans (in USA) to have to wait 1 year for a new season. Some got into other fandoms and Code Lyoko was no longer appealing to them.

Okay, that's what I wanted to know. Though I don't see how the show had so many JTS as you mentioned in the other post. Seeing how the term, at least as I saw it, is when the show reaches the most anticipated/expected plot moment and it can never be the same after that. XANA's ultimate destruction in 94 is the only one that comes to mind.

Also, it hurt Code Lyoko fans (in USA) to have to wait 1 year for a new season. Some got into other fandoms and Code Lyoko was no longer appealing to them.

I guess I was the exception in that case. I lost my love of it for other fandoms and highly disliked CL in general after I thought it ended in S1, but came back to love enjoy it when I stumbled across commercial of S2, and it's premiere. lol

There is no season 5.

There was once no Kim Possible Season 4. (Some would say that's an argument against a CL S5. Others would say the Some doesn't know what they're talking about.)

Ah...unfortunately, that's a slightly different case.

Kim Possible Season 4 was originally not going to happen because of a policy Disney had in which any given TV show could not go past 65 episodes. Kim Possible had reached 65 episodes and was going to end at Season 3. However, Disney (when it came under new management) got rid of that policy, and, with the help of the fans and the creators, was put back into production.

With CL it is...not quite the same story. Production is not being forcibly "stopped", nor does there seem to be any hostility or scandal within Code Lyoko's ending at Season 4. It is merely the way they planned to end the story.

...They've been saying it since before season 4 aired. ^^;;;

Not so different. In that case, continued interest in the show may result in an additional season. The same could happen here. And the friendliness in this case can only help.

I agree with that statement. I also agree with Cassius'.

I heard that even trhe VAs themselves do not agree with their show being over by 4 television seasons. Contracts, and the series itself, CAN be extended.

[Kamekai offline]

Contracts, and the series itself, CAN be extended.

Exactly what we've been trying to tell <i>you</i>, Taelia.

[Taelia offline]

I finally get the point, Kamekai. I just had to sleep on it.

[Tangent128 offline]

In short, we know:

There will be some CL stuff for the next few years. (If Moonscoop has any business sense.)

There are no current plans for a full Season 5.

Plans can change...

[Kamekai offline]

In short, we know:

NOTHING! Muwahahahaha*cough cough*

[Taelia offline]

Hey, TB3, do you truly believe that CL will continue based on that phone call you made to Taffy Enttertainment's London office? I'm not saying this annoyingly, I'm just wondering.

[Mewberries151]

Ehhh...I was under the impression that the creators of KP (as is possibly the case with the creators of CL) simply were ending KP at Season 4 because they wanted it to end there, with the ending they'd written. I've also heard in a few interviews that they were interested in moving on to making other shows (not that they're "tired/sick of KP", just that they want to do something new/different).

...Which also may or may not be the case with CL. I wouldn't know, we'd have to ask Mr. Mouscadet, Tania Palumbo, the CL writers...and pretty much anyone else who's in charge of making CL happen. ^^;

And of course, plans can change and contracts can be renewed, but I do not want anyone "forced" into doing something...simply to please fan/company demands. ...That's never going to end well. If it's done by choice, yes. Forced, nah-uh. *sweatdrops*

New information has just come to light.

1) La saison 5 et le devenir de Code Lyoko

Devant l'effervescence qu'ont provoqué les différentes annonces quant à une éventuelle saison 5, et surtout la dernière qui s'avérait plutôt négative quant à la réalisation de cette 5ème saison, Moonscoop répond... du calme !

En effet, ils sont autant envahis de mails que nous, des mails de fans qui se demandent pourquoi la série s'arrête ainsi, si brusquement...

Devant cette pagaille, ils préparent une réponse officielle pour répondre clairement aux questions des fans ; qui devrait être envoyée d'ici ce soir.

Et cette réponse est simple : rien n'est encore décidé ! Tout est encore à l'état de réflexion, Moonscoop réfléchit à toutes les possibilités : une saison 5, des épisodes spéciaux...

Tout est donc possible... comme rien n'est possible, rien ne peut encore être annoncé pour l'instant ! Du calme donc

Et pour répondre aux diverses inquiétudes, tout va bien, ils ne sont ni fâchés avec France 3, ni avec Canal J...

Je complèterai cette news si besoin ce soir, lorsque Moonscoop aura envoyé sa réponse officielle... mais dans les grandes lignes, c'est ce qui est écrit ci-dessus

Précisons tout de même que Moonscoop n'est pas prêt de lâcher sa série phare...
Et qu'ils rappellent, comme nous l'avions fait, que rien n'est de toute manière terminé puisque les produits dérivés continuent avec les coffrets DVD (Universal) et de nouveaux jeux PC/PS2 (Mindscape) en 2008 !

2) Les produits dérivés

En parlant de ces fameux produits dérivés, vous avez peut-être entendu parler d'une collection DVD en kiosque Code Lyoko, éditée par Altaya. Elle propose l'intégralité de la saison 1, à raison d'un DVD contenant 2 ou 3 épisodes + un fascicule par numéro. Mais cette collection a tout l'air d'être du produit dérivé fantôme : introuvable dans la pluspart des villes, aucune annonce officielle ; Altaya, que nous avions contacté, semblait ne même pas connaître cette collection... et pour cause !

Comme toute collection DVD, elle doit passer une période de tests, pour s'assurer de son succès avant de la lancer au niveau national. 8/9 villes ont donc été sélectionnées et disposent donc de cette collection. Le succès de la collection dans ces villes est censé refléter son succès au niveau national... le "vrai" lancement de cette collection devrait s'effectuer en décembre, mois qui marquera la fin de la période de tests

A ce moment là la collection repartira bien sûr de 0, et on pourra donc profiter du premier numéro qui contient le double-épisode spécial "Le réveil de XANA" (jamais sorti en DVD !) et l'épisode #1 - Teddygozilla.

Quant au magazine officiel Code Lyoko, le n°3 devrait sortir en kiosques dès le 4 décembre !


En espérant que cette news aura permis de faire revenir le calme... et un peu d'espoir

Pas de grande joie, pas de grande déception pour l'instant donc : prenons notre mal en patience et attendons une annonce définitive des projets de Moonscoop.

Let me translate this into English:

Due to the fan-mail from the people being ticked off at the series' ending without giving any light on Project Carthage, the name change, and Antea's disappearance, Canal J and Moonscoop have decided to carry on the series via a video game and DVD (set in 2008 in France; also, from Tech Links, I found out that "Quest for Infinity" is being made for the PS2).

With the DVD, there will be 2-3 episodes with some episode called "The Alarm Clock of XANA" and a booklet of the first episode. In other news, issue #3 of Code: Lyoko magazine is out until December.

Errr...close, but not quite. *sweatdrops*

That particular news item says that nothing has yet been decided in the way of continuing the Code Lyoko storyline. They might look into a 5th season but they are also thinking about simply making a few episodes to explain what the fans say needs to be explained. They have not decided anything at the moment so the fans will have to wait until a further decision can be made. MoonScoop is weighing all of their options.

They are, however, definitely backing a few more Code Lyoko games (such as a PS2 and PSP version of "Quest for Infinity", and a sequel, and possible tre-quel, to the DS game. They are also working on releasing a complete DVD set of the entire Code Lyoko series with various special features and extras.

I want a season 5! I hope they choose to make a season 5 because they are awsome Code: Lyoko and all of that, but if they just make a dvd explaining what we want to be explained then we come up with more questions from those newer episodes therefore by the time they our questions awsered they would have a season 5 and maybe 6 from all of our questions! That is just my opinion!

A PS2 game and a DVD set of the WHOLE series? Wow! That's tight on the wallet there.

Just imagine if they make a whole show soundtrack incorporating different artists ranging from known to unknown.

My track listing:

1. A World Without Danger
2. Get Away
3. Planet Net
4. Angel of Mine
5. Ella Guru - Capt. Beefheart and the Magic Band
6. Montana - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
7. Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle) - Limp Bizkit
8. Wake Up - Rage Against the Machine
9. Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
10. Helter Skelter - Beatles
11. Fame Throwa - Pavement
12. The Late Greats -Wilco
13. Free - Phish
14. Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty
15. Refugee - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
16. Ashtray Heart - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

Not gonna happen mate, and probably never will - the legal difficulties and royalty fees for using copyrighted material like this in a movie, let alone a TV show, are nightmarish

Yyeah, like with A Muppet Family Christmas. They cut out a lot of fresh, juicy footage from that movie for its DVD release.[/i]

I've also heard in a few interviews that they were interested in moving on to making other shows (not that they're "tired/sick of KP", just that they want to do something new/different).

Yeah, most of the core staff of KP got hired on at Nickelodeon after Disney let them go. Some of them are working on Tak and the Pwoer of JuJu show.

As for CL and Season 5...I want to wait and see the last episodes in English to get a better feel for them before I decide if I really want the show to go on. Right now, I'd say 70% no, 30% yes, only because I liekt o see losoe ends tied up, adn the dub may produce more of them and sway that percentage of mine.

*head is heard slamming the desk in the background*

I would love to see the complete series of CL on DVD. One, I'm sick of my cruddy VCRs and VHSs. Two, I don't want to hunt all the individual DVDs. The fact that their focusing a little more to games now is cool. I'm sure they're smart enough to space out the DS, Wii and/or PS2 instead of releasing all the games at once. Maximize profits and keep the series fresh even after the tv series finale. What I wish is that they release a soundtrack. Of the show's music, not another album of songs from the SubDigitals.
