‘Future’ Has a Future: The three “Back to the Future” hit films will be spun off into a new Saturday morning cartoon series due this fall on CBS. The animated “Back to the Future” is the debut project of MCA’s new Universal Cartoon Studios, as well as the first venture into Saturday morning television for Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment. The series will have animated versions of the original characters played by Michael J. Fox as the time-traveling teen-ager and Christopher Lloyd as the ingenious Doc Brown. Doc’s rambunctious dog, Einstein, also will be used. In addition, Lloyd will be featured in live-action segments introducing the animated episodes.
