Netflix’s spring programming crop continues to sprout exciting new animated delights! Today, the streamer unveiled the trailer for its interactive CGI-series Battle Kitty, premiering April 19. The spot gives us a glimpse at the energetic videogame world waiting for home audiences, where our heroes must take down various strange foes to unlock their destiny.
Synopsis: In a futuristic-medieval world, warriors must find and defeat all the monsters on Battle Island, collecting their coveted keys in order to become ‘Champion’. Cut to Kitty and Orc, two best friends on a mission- to help Kitty become Champion their way — through cuteness and friendship! The two embark on the journey to Championhood, facing many obstacles and naysayers only to discover a surprise waiting for them at the Ancient Ruins…
The series is created by Matt Layzell with Paul Layzell as supervising producer; Matt also provides the voices for both Battle Kitty and Orc. The Layzell Bros. are known for their chaotic, darkly humorous and outlandishly colorful animated idents for E4 (U.K.), titles for Skins and Slacker’s Club, the music video for “Most Days” by Mazes and the FOX ADHD short Future Travel.
