Cartoon Network Ben 10 is taking on the universe this fall to save planet earth
I’m a big kid at heart since I’ve been a big fan of Ben 10 since the first animated series premiered on CN back in 2005! I’ve watched every series and enjoyed the sibling rivalry, kid hero, kindly grandpa, friends, and villains. The show has always been one that appealed to my love of heroes with a twist of a sometimes bratty kid who wanted to do things his own way. When Gwen got her magic powers <wahoo> it was such fun to see her go from damsel in distress to a hero that could save the day herself <girl power!>! The reveal that kindly Grandpa Max has his own heroic backstory was the icing on the cake for this family fun adventure in the beat-up rust bucket ( I would NOT like to fill that up at the gas station!).
Ben 10 vs. The Universe: The Movie
Ben Tennyson has gotten new powers and he’s going to need them if he’s going to save earth from a villain we all know and love to hate! Gwen and Grandpa Max team up to protect the world while Ben is fighting in space trying to get back to earth to save the day.
