With the news of the upcoming Spaceballs 2: the Schwartz Awakens...
...we're presenting something most space sci-fi fans don't even know exists...Spaceballs the Animated Series, which came and went in 2008-2009 without making much of an impression!
Created and executive produced by Mel Brooks (who also reprised his roles as President Skroob and Yogurt), the show adapted the movie in its' first two episodes, making a couple of changes (like Lone Star isn't a prince so he can't marry Princess Vespa) for the ongoing series.
Some movie cast returned to voice their characters again, including Daphne Zuniga (Princess Vespa), Joan Rivers (Dot Matrix), and Dom DeLuise (Pizza the Hutt).
The other roles were filled by sound-alikes.
The biggest drawback is the computer-generated animation that's only a step above the limited animation of the 1960s Marvel Super-Heroes Show (which has the excuse of being animated directly from photostats of the detailed original comic art by Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, etc).
