Production

Following the cancellation Wild C.A.T.s by CBS, WildStorm Productions announced they were working on an animated adaptation of Gen13 which would be written by Kevin Altieri. Jim Lee stated disappointment with Wild C.A.T.s led to him and Wildstorm deciding to maintain more creative control to avoid a repeat of the experience.

In February 1997, it was reported that The Walt Disney Company was seeking to make a live-action feature film of Gen13 produced by Courtney Solomon and John Benitez for some time in release in 1998 or 1999 which Lee would executive produce. As part of the deal, Disney agreed to give the Gen13 animated film a direct-to-video released through their Buena Vista Home Video label.
