Nelvana’s gaming and anim’-inspired animated series, Di-Gata Defenders, is slated to debut on TELETOON this summer. The broadcaster will exclusively air three back-to-back episodes as a 90-minute CINETOON presentation on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 5 p.m. (ET/PT).
Di-Gata Defenders is created by Greg Collinson, who pitched the show to Nelvana execs during the production company’s yearly open call session. The series follows the adventures of Seth, Melosa, Erik and Kara, teen warriors who have been learning to harness the earth’s energy to prepare them for their battle against the Order of Infinis and the awesome power of the Megalith. As the spell that binds Megalith’s spirit in four stone prisons weakens, the four remaining Di-Gata Defenders must reunite the stones and recast the spell in order to save their realm from the reign of evil.
In mid-August, TELETOON will launch a Di-Gata web site through www.teletoon.com. The site will offer single player games, a multi-player online role-playing game, an online forum, a regular blog by Collinson, contests and downloads. In addition, a competitive dice game is expected to launch with the series’ official debut in 2007.
