TV-Loonland and Canadian company CarpeDiem Film & TV have announced the start of production on a new animated series titled My Life Me. TELETOON Canada and French broadcasters France 2 and Canal J are backing the co-production, which will initially consist of 52 11-minute episodes. TV-Loonland will handle all international distribution rights in all media including licensing and merchandising.

My Life Me is co-created by JC Little, Cindy Filipenko and rising manga star Svetlana Chmakova, who found success with the top-selling Tokyopop comic Dramacon. Tailroed to kids 8-12, the show revolves around four lead characters trying to make sense of tween life. The digital production aims to stay true to manga aesthetics, employing comic book language and visual elements when applicable.

The property’s licensing and marketing program will place a lot of emphasis on publishing, accessories, gifts, stationery and apparel. There will also be a fully interactive website that will allow viewers to create their own manga comics by using tutorials on drawing in the show’s particular style, or by employing actual images from the series to reinvent the stories and share them with friends. Currently in production, the site will also offer a variety of games, including an interactive activity based on social conflict resolution.

In addition to the TV series and the web site, TV-Loonland and CarpeDiem are producing 26 original My Live Me shorts for various platforms such as mobile phones and VOD services. The companies plan to deliver all of these projects by fall of 2009.
