MUMBAI: Cartoon Network is releasing a CGI animated television feature based on its alien-morphing boy hero character, Ben 10.

Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens is slated for premiere in 2012 on Cartoon Network globally.

The film is being directed by Victor Cook, who also directed The Spectacular Spider-Man, Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated. Also, Silas Hickey is the executive producer and Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, Inc. is the creative director for animation.

Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens turns the clock back to 10-year-old Ben Tennyson, struggling with teachers, detention, school bullies and the dreadful fate of missing out on his weekend fishing trip with Grandpa Max, when grounded by his parents.
 
Desperate times call for desperate measures as Ben jumps at the chance to escape from it all at the Total Alien Immersion training programme on the far side of the galaxy. Little does Ben realise the irreversible consequences of the programme which sends him crashing back to earth stuck in his alien forms battling an all-new evil alien, Mechamorph Warrior.

"Ben 10‘s enduring popularity with kids is undeniable and this movie brings the hugely successful franchise to an exciting new level. Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens is set to be 2012‘s television movie event of the year as Ben 10‘s legions of fans around the world unite to watch him, cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max save the world from evil with awesome, never-before-seen CGI effects," said Hickey.

Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens is written by Marty Isenberg and features the original voice actors from the Ben 10 animated series.
