This would have provided the additional season as cheaply as possible. The idea was to have Saban Entertainment crudely animate thirteen of the first twenty-six classic comics, a technique known today as Motion Comics and similar to the old The Marvel Super Heroes series. The initial goal was to make an extremely low budget adaptation of the early issues of The Amazing Spider-Man and the show began production with that in mind. If Fox produced another season of a Spider-Man show they could continue airing episodes of Spider-Man for an undisclosed amount of time. Producer Will Meugniot explained that the show was created because both Marvel Entertainment and Fox Kids needed another Spider-Man series to fulfill contractual obligations. While The Avengers: United They Stand premiered after Unlimited, delays in airing caused this series to finish airing after. It has the distinction of being the last Marvel series started in the 20th Century to air. While fulfilling the contractual obligations, the series went on to become one of the most criticized and poorly received Marvel animated series. When Sony Pictures Entertainment got the film and animation rights for the character, the series faced significant development issues. The series was created as part of a contracting issue between Marvel Entertainment and Fox Kids in order to continue airing episodes of Spider-Man. It is the fifth series to focus on Spider-Man after Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and Spider-Man. The series aired thirteen episodes starting October 2nd, 1999 and ending March 31st, 2001.


Spider-Man Unlimited is the loosely connected sequel series to Spider-Man and part of the Marvel Animated Universe.
