Canadian toon house Studio B has begun production on the 78×7 Flash series Pucca, based on characters created for animated e-cards by Korea’s Vooz Co. Ltd. The show is the first Flash-animated series commissioned by Jetix Europe and will air on its channels in 2006.
Pucca, the daughter of a Chinese restaurant owner, gets into one adventure after another in pursuit of her one true love, a ninja-in-training named Garu. In addition to being chased by Pucca, Garu has to deal with the villainous Tobe and his ninja gang as they try to recover an ancient magic potion.
Studio B is working with Warner Bros. Animation on the action/comedy Johnny Test, and recently wrapped production with Star Farm Prods. on 12 two-minute webisodes based on the Edgar & Ellen children’s books by Charles Ogden.
The studio recently sold the third season of its original series, Yvon of the Yukon, to Nickelodeon Asia. This month, the broadcaster begins airing episodes of the comedy co-produced by Top Draw Animation. Seen in 14 countries, the show currently airs on YTV and CBBC in Canada, Nick Latin America and Nickelodeon Australia.
