Hannibal (not Lector, the other one) to get cartoon series

[MonkeyFunk]

"The series will span the life of Hannibal, from his tutelage as a warrior under his father, the king of Carthage, to his history-making invasions of Spain, England and his legendary scaling of the Alps with his army of elephants. He assembled an army from around the world to challenge the Roman Empire and his techniques and plans are still studied today."

Anyone who has anything to do with elephants is awesome in my eyes, so I'm delighted to hear that Hannibal is the latest historical figure to join the hallowed ranks of Pocahontas, Anastasia Romanova and Yagyu Jubei. Er, yeah.

I was amused during the Tour de France to hear one of the commentators say that one of the riders was coming over The Alps "just like Hannibal". I thought, well yeah, except on a bicycle.
