UK PREMIERE OF ALL NEW BEN 10 ONLY ON CARTOON NETWORK
Ben 10: Alien Force Finds Ben Tennyson Five Years Older with 10 New Aliens!
TX: From Monday 16th February, everyday at 9am and 5pm on Cartoon Network
Kids favourite action adventure animation Ben 10 is back with a brand new series Ben 10: Alien Force. Since its launch in 2006, Ben 10 has become a top rating show and established itself as a global success. The next chapter in the continuing Ben 10 saga catches up with Ben Tennyson five years after he hung up his Omnitrix and finally gets to lead life as a normal teenager; he’s the soccer team Goalie, enjoys school and hanging out with his friends – that is, until Grandpa Max suddenly goes missing! 15-year-old Ben Tennyson chooses to put on the Omnitrix once again and discover that it has reconfigured his DNA so he can now transform into 10 brand new aliens. Joined by his super-powered cousin Gwen Tennyson and his equally powerful former enemy Kevin Levin, Ben is on a mission to find Grandpa Max. In order to save his Grandpa, Ben must defeat the evil DNALIENS, a powerful alien race intent on destroying the galaxy, starting with planet Earth. Ben will join forces with other young heroes to save the galaxy and his Grandpa Max, while passing along his knowledge to a whole new generation.
The ten brand new aliens include; Swampfire whose body produces large amounts of methane gas so he can shoot fire from his hands, Echo who can produce sonic waves and create duplicates of himself, and Humongosaur the dinosaur man who can grow to 60 feet tall.
The animated series can be seen everyday and will premiere with a special one-hour episode on 16th February at 9am and 5pm on Cartoon Network.
