Children’s content distributor Bejuba! Entertainment has acquired the worldwide distribution rights for Animixies, a new 52 x 11′ CG-animated comedy-action-adventure series, targeted at kids aged four to seven. The deal was struck at Annecy.
Animixies is created by industry veterans Mike Blum (Pipsqueak Animation, Disney Feature Animation) and Jeff Prezenkowski (Cartoon Network, Hasbro Studios, Warner Bros. Animation). Blum’s L.A.-based Pipsqueak Animation will produce the series. Blum and Prezenkowski will serve as executive producers alongside Tatiana Kober of Bejuba! Entertainment. Citris Ink Studios will serve as an animation partner.
The series follows the exciting adventures of Rohan and Mia, two intrepid young zoologists who explore the newly discovered Miximo Island. With the help of the “Animixies” — fantastical creatures formed by assembling simpler critters hidden throughout the island — they assist their fellow pint-sized explorers in solving problems.
“The concept for the show was so captivating, we were ready to commit based solely on a brief pitch,” said Kober, President of Bejuba! Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to unveil Animixies and its trailer to a global audience, and we look forward to collaborating with the talented Pipsqueak Animation team. We adore the show’s optimistic and resourceful heroes, the hilarious ‘villain’ who the heroes always befriend, and of course, the show’s core concept — adorable creatures that combine to form powerful companions for their human friends! We’re confident that this original and phenomenal idea will resonate with children and families worldwide.”
