'Buffy' the animated series?

Plans were made by television show creator Joss Whedon and producer/comic writer Jeph Loeb (ULTIMATES 3, CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHITE) to bring a "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" animated series to the small screen several years ago.

This is before the huge reception of animated television on cable. While the idea wasn't well received then, there is a resurgent drumbeat for the concept now.

Even better, there's an online petition as reported on the MTV movie blog and a "leaked' YouTube trailer running a little more than three minutes. I say catch it while it is still online, because it isn't bad.

Admittedly, I followed the TV series and I also follow the "Buffy" comic series dubbed "Buffy Season 8," a successful (Ranks in the top ten in monthly comics sales) continuation of the live-action television series.

Don't know if the show will happen but at least we can check out the trailer below:
