However, the script would determine that they join forces in an effort to exact revenge against Ipkiss. The plot was to involve both of the ghosts and their gangs to break the remaining gang members out of jail, regain their areas of influence and resume their war against one another. However, an early draft of one episode was to have the ghosts of Niko, Tyrell and their deceased henchmen to return to Edge City and wreak havoc. Niko and Dorian Tyrell, the two primary antagonists of the 1994 film who died during the course of it, do not appear in the animated series.

Unlike in the movie, Ipkiss is able to use the mask in daytime as well as at night. A gypsy named Madam Suspiria at one point claims that the Mask is the most powerful artifact in the world when she remarks 'The most powerful artifact in the world and this idiot keeps it with his laundry'. However, the events of the film are alluded to, as Charlie knows that Stanley was the Mask (though thinks Stanley threw it away), and Stanley is still upset over Peggy selling him out to the mob (given that Stanley and Peggy were never treated as a potential couple, there may have remained some bad feelings over that though The Mask himself sometimes tries to woo her). Tina Carlyle ( Cameron Diaz's character in the film) is absent. Reporter Peggy Brandt ( Amy Yasbeck's character from the film) is the main female character in the series.

Much as with Beetlejuice before it, The Mask: Animated Series took many elements from the movie source but dropped characters and changed certain other persona.
