 * A year after The Mask hit theatres, an animated series titled The Mask aired on television. However, it was short-lived.
 * In 2005, New Line Cinema released a new version of the sequel titled Son of the Mask which was released on February 18, 2005, with Jamie Kennedy as Tim Avery/The Mask, and directed by Lawrence Guterman.
