Giant movie monsters come to life and terrorize Capital City in Monster Warriors, Jetix Europe’s new action series that blends live-action and CG animation. Produced by Canadian production company Coneybeare Stories in association with Jetix Europe and Canada’s YTV, the series is distributed by Buena Vista International Television (BVITV) and Bejuba! Entertainment. It is scheduled to debut on Jetix Europe channels this spring.
Aimed at kids 8-12, Monster Warriors centers on four normal teenagers who become creature combatants when a 1950’s sci-fi B-movie director escapes from his nursing home and unleashes his creepy creations for real. Using homemade weapons, our heroes take on giant spiders, an army of skeletons, an overgrown anaconda, a rampaging T-Rex and other fierce beasties as they unravel the plot of Dr. Klaus Von Steinhauer, a character inspired by legendary monster maker Ray Harryhausen.
The 26 half-hour adventure saga is created and directed by Wilson Coneybeare of Coneybeare Stories. Members of the vfx production team count among their credits Miramax’s Sin City and Paramount’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.
Jetix Europe holds all pay TV rights to Monster Warriors for Europe and the Middle East, and has TV distribution, home video, consumer product and online and interactive rights including mobile. JCP (Jetix Consumer Products) is managing the licensing, merchandising and home video rights in their territories. Bejuba! Entertainment controls all rights in North America, Latin America, Australia and Asia. The company will focus immediately on introducing a line of toys based on the show’s character and monsters.
