Magma Eye

Magma Eye is a Kuboian animated television series, and the fourth television series produced by Kubokartoonz. The show focuses on Magma Eye, an alien creature, as he assists his friends in their daily lives.

Unlike other programmes produced by Kubokartoonz, Magma Eye was targeted at an older audience, and dealt with more mature topics, particularly multiple different forms of discrimination. It was broadcast on Vision 1 during its initial run, but never aired on its KT children's strand. The show has since gained a cult following, with fans finding appeal towards the show's political and cynical nature.

The success of the show led to it being revived in the mid-2010s through a series of spin-off films, which included Rocket Reloaded (2014), Beijing (2019) and Munch and Mr. Teddy (scheduled for 2022).

Premise and characters
Magma Eye is an alien creature whose entire body consists of a floating white eye. He chose to live on Earth with hopes to improve the behaviour of humans, who his alien brethren considered a flawed race. A majority of the episodes focus on Magma assisting his friends with their problems, whilst also striving for a better humanity.

Magma has a large cast of friends, acquaintances and enemies - a majority of the show's characters are rarely referred to by their real names, and are instead typically known by some nickname. Magma's friends include: Munch, an overweight man with an eating disorder; Ramp, an unemployed young man who is frequently belittled by those of higher social classes; Beijing, a preteen girl who suffers emotional abuse from her family, classmates and teachers; and Rocket, a robot who wishes to be a human.

Due to its large cast of characters, Magma Eye features a lot of villains. These include, but are not limited to: Gunner, a corrupt, xenophobic policeman; Novice, Gunner's dimwitted and extremely egotistical assistant; Hatter, a corrupt businessman who is best friends with Ramp's brother; and Webbie, a girl who bullies Beijing and steals to support herself and her sisters.

Film series
In the mid-2010s, the Magma Eye setting and characters were revived for a series of theatrical films starring the show's most popular recurring characters. According to Lake Caters, a film series based on the show was decided since, due to its large cast of characters, there was lots of potential into letting some of them have a starring role. Nearly all the cast from the original television series reprise their roles as their respective characters.

Possible fourth film
Lake Caters has stated a fourth film in the series is possible based on several circumstances, including how well Munch and Mr. Teddy does in the box office, and if there is a good story to tell woth another recurring character.
