Millennials are reliving their childhood through the new teaser trailer for Disney+ and Marvel Animation‘s X-Men ’97.
The 10-episode series starts streaming on Disney+ March 20 and brings fans retro animation, aesthetics and even voice actors who sound as close to the original voice actors as possible to recreate that feeling of sitting in front of the television with your bowl of cereal on the weekends.
