Spainish producer and distributor Imira Ent. will introduce its quirky new 3D animated comedy series, Myo & Ga, at this year’s edition of Cartoon Forum. Aimed at kids six and up, the show is a co-production with Korea’s VOOZ Character Systems, creator of the Pucca property, and leading Korean animation channel Tooniverse.

Set in the animal kingdom, the series of 78 seven-minute-long episodes is packed with slapstick comedy and martial arts action. Myo & Ga are heroes whose quest is to track down the mysterious Dragon Pearl of Wong and save the natural world from destruction. The trouble is, Myo’s a rabbit, Ga is a turtle, their best friend is a chicken, and they have no idea where to start! The show features manga-inspired animation, Matrix-style fight sequences and video game sound effects.

Imira has a history of collaborating with Korean companies. In addition to selling various shows to broadcasters in the region, the company currently distributes several Korean-produced series such as the Iconix-produced Pororo in Spain.

Cartoon Forum is an annual confab designed to support the co-production, financing and distribution of European animation for television and new media platforms. This year’s event will take place Sept. 16-19 in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Produtions from all over Europe will be competing for the Cartoon d’Or awards, supported by the EU MEDIA Programme.
