TELETOON has announced new series development deals, spanning the gamut of their audience from kids to young adults.
Foolish Girl, from Toronto-based CCI Entertainment, follows the misadventures of a neurotic, guy-needing, and angst-ridden 17-year-old girl. The darkly humoured content skews female. Road Hogs, from Montreal-based producers Cité-Amérique, is designed for the older ‘Detour’ crowd and brings the time-honoured road movie format to animated TV when two teens set out for the summer hoping to meet as many girls as possible. However the net wants to attract both males and females with this series.
Jimmy Two-Shoes, from Toronto-based Breakthrough Entertainment, is aimed at kids 10-12 and features an ever-optimistic Jimmy who, even if sent to hell instead of heaven upon his death, retains his cheery demeanour. The net is thinking after-school line-up. Iggy Arbuckle Nature Freak, from Toronto-based Blueprint Entertainment, targets six- to nine-year-olds with the adventures of a ‘nature freak’ pig and his sidekick Jiggers, a daredevil beaver.
