New Animated Movie Debuts on Cartoon Network during Toonami on Saturday, Oct. 28, at 9:30 p.m. (ET, PT)

In the final days of World War II, a demon was summoned from the fiery depths of Hell to wage war. This child of darkness was rescued by the Allies.  Dubbed "Hellboy," he was raised to serve the cause of good versus evil.  From the mind of Michael Mignola comes a new animated feature that continues the comic book and motion picture saga, Hellboy: Sword of Storms. The movie will air Saturday, Oct. 28, at 9:30 p.m. (ET, PT) during Toonami.

When a university professor opens a forbidden scroll, he is possesse 
by the twin demons of thunder and lightning who seek to return to the
world to wake their brothers, the dragons.  Hellboy, along with a
folklore expert and a psychic, travels to Japan to investigate.  There,
Hellboy finds the sword of storms, the only weapon that can defeat the
demons, and he is transported to a world where he encounters several
creatures of Japanese folklore.  He learns the sword is the only weapon
that can defeat the demons, but it also holds the magic that will
return them to Earth.

In Hellboy: Sword of Storms, several actors from the 2004 Guillermo de 
Toro-directed live-action movie lend their voices to this feature,
including Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz Sherman) and Doug
Jones (Abe Sapien).  Mike Mignola co-wrote the movie’s story.  Phil
Weinstein and Tad Stones direct the movie. Guillermo del Toro and Mike
Mignola are creative producers. Hellboy: Sword of Storms is produced b
