Gizmo centers on a dysfunctional crew of alien robots who crash-land in the backyard of two Earthling siblings. DECODE has worldwide distribution rights for the iterantional effort.
‘International co-production such as this has helped many of our animation companies level up quickly,’ says Seto Lok Yin, director of industry development for the MDA. ‘Therefore, I am confident that Scrawl will ride on this success and continue to produce quality Made-by-Singapore content.’
Scrawl previously collaborated with the MDA and Agogo on the 2D-animated series Nanoboy. Decode and YTV recently entered into an agreenment to produce the multi-platform property Urban Vermin, an action comedy about two raccoon brothers who have become fierce competitors in pilfering the neighborhood garbage bins.
