Facelift Entertainment to Create 52 Episodes of Monstories Series for Cartoon Network, for broadcast in their 2005/06 season.
Vancouver, BC Canada (PRWEB) September 7, 2005 -- Facelift Entertainment Inc.
confirmed today the order of 52 episodes of their award-winning animated series
Monstories by Cartoon Network U.S. for their 2005/2006 broadcast
lineup.
"We're truly excited about this deal," announced Monstories'
Creator/Director, Lance Taylor, "and we couldn't ask for a better broadcast home
in the U.S. than Cartoon Network. We're longtime fans of their programming, and
we look forward to bringing the gang from Monstories to the network." The deal
includes the original five Monstories episodes previously produced by Facelift,
and the creation of 47 new episodes.
”We love this property. It's funny
and irreverent and is a great fit with the tone of the network. We are very
excited about putting it on the air.” said Terry Kalagian, vice president of
acquisitions and co-productions for Cartoon Network.
Monstories contain
the adventures of two mischievous monsters, Max and Mel, with an eclectic cast
of "monster actors." Independent of dialogue, Monstories transcend language
barriers with global appeal and timeless humor. Presented in colorful one-minute
shorts featuring quality computer graphics, hand-drawn animation techniques and
original gypsy music scores, the original five Monstories episodes are well
traveled in the festival circuit, from France (Annecy) to China (Cicdaf) to
Brazil (AnimaMundi). Recent awards include "Best TV Series" from Cineme
(Chicago) and the "Audience Grand Jury" prize at Glitchfast (Montreal).
