Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends is an exciting animated TV show. It first aired as part of BKN's cartoon programs. The show's main idea is that aliens have lived among humans for a very long time. These aliens are actually the source of many creatures we know from myths and legends. Think of vampires and werewolves! The show was made as part of BKN's plan to become a new kind of children's entertainment company.

In October 2019, it was announced that 41 Entertainment would create a new version of the series. This new version would be an eight-episode computer-generated animation. It was planned to start in the fall of 2021.

What the Show is About

In Roswell Conspiracies, the famous Roswell incident is shown as a trick made by humans. It was set up to hide the real truth from people. The flying object was fake, and the alien body was a dummy. Even the witnesses and investigators were part of the act. The whole mystery around Area 51 was just a way to distract everyone. The truth was that aliens had landed long ago. They had even tried to attack or destroy humans before.

These past attacks are found in old legends, myths, and folklore. They describe strange beings that made humans scared. These include vampires, werewolves, and banshees. As humans became more advanced, the attacks seemed to stop. But recently, they started happening again.

The story begins with Nick Logan, a bounty hunter. He gets a job to hunt someone down. But this job quickly becomes very unusual. His target is a strange girl. Nick soon finds himself in a wild adventure. He learns that aliens are living among us. He can help protect Earth from them. This new situation might also help him find out what happened to his biological father. Nick was raised by a stepfather who knew about aliens. Nick is one of the few humans who can see through alien disguises. Most aliens can change into human form easily. This special ability gives Nick a big advantage. Later, he discovers his father and grandfather also had this gift.

Nick teams up with Sh'lainn Blaze. She is a Banshee who wants her species and humans to live together peacefully. The Banshees have struggled in modern times. Sh'lainn believes they are planning something big. Together, Nick and Sh'lainn become agents for James Rinaker. He is the leader of The Global Alliance. This is a secret international group. Their job is to keep aliens a secret from the public. They also stop dangerous aliens from harming humans.

Episodes

Who Made the Show

The show was co-created by Kaaren Lee Brown. The first episode and story guide were written by Bob Forward and Greg Johnston. They were also the story editors. Some people say the show was meant to be 20 one-hour episodes. Others thought each episode would be split into two 30-minute parts, making 40 episodes. Even with a few two-part episodes, the story works best as 40 separate episodes. The show had a budget of $500,000 per episode. It used a mix of traditional animation and special effects. This work was done at Epoch Ink in Santa Monica, California. Many talented people worked on it, including Joe Pearson, Tom Tataranowicz, Chuck Patton, Brad Coombs, Young Yoon, Harry Warner, Rick Ungar, Brad Rader, and Gregg Davidson. Stephanie Graziano was the producer.

Where the Show Aired

On April 4, 2001, it was confirmed that the series would also air on the Fox Kids block. It started rerunning there on April 7.
