About The Mask
The Mask cartoon follows bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss wielding the trickster mask against Edge City crooks and the villain Pretorius. The run spans 54 episodes across three seasons from 1995 to 1997, keeping the film's energy while softening it for mornings.
Watch seasons one through three in air order. The show is episodic with running feuds, so the order carries introductions and the Pretorius arc rather than strict serialization. The 1994 film is useful background but never required: the cartoon reintroduces everything it needs in the pilot.
Good to know
Son of the Mask from 2005 is a separate live action branch without Stanley, so it stays out of this list entirely. The cartoon's crossovers with Ace Ventura exist as novelty episodes inside the run. No animated revival is in production, so the 54 episodes are the complete cartoon set for the mask character.
