| QUOTE | Disney to revive cult hero Joe 90
Cult puppet hero Joe 90 is to be revived in a Disney film.
Hollywood producers have bought the rights to the 1960s sci-fi doll from Carlton TV, Variety reports.
Joe 90 starred on British television as a nine-year-old agent for the mythical World Intelligence Network during the height of the Cold War.
Through an electronic device hidden in his glasses he could absorb the brain patterns of experts to help complete his missions and maintain the global balance of power.
He become the greatest of all astronauts, a dare-devil pilot, an ace motorist and a brilliant brain surgeon as he thwarted dastardly Soviet plots for world domination.
And all the time he remained above suspicion appearing - as he really was - a normal schoolboy.
British husband-and-wife team Gerry and Sylvia Anderson wrote Joe 90 in the late 1960s after the success of the Thunderbirds, which is currently being made into a movie.
The big screen version of Joe 90 will be a live action film.
