The Hyun Cinematic Universe (HCU) is an American-Irish animated media franchise and shared universe centered on a series of superhero films, distributed by New Line Cinema, produced by Hyun Studios and animated by Cartoon Saloon and based on characters that appear in Stick figure fight animations owned by Hyun's Dojo. The franchise includes comic books, short films, television series, and digital series. The shared universe, much like the original Hyun Universe in fight animations, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters.
The first HCU film was Nanix (2008), which began the films of Phase One concluding with Yoyo (2012). Phase Two began with Nanix 3 (2013) and concluded with Taille (2015). Phase Three began with Gildedguy (2016) and concluded with Bog (2019). The first three phases in the franchise are collectively known as "The Universal Saga". The films of Phase Four began with The New Beings (2020) and will conclude with Loxias: Katanadom Forever (2022). Yocto 3: Quantumania (2023) will begin Phase Five, which will end with
