Following hot on the heels of the news that CAKE Entertainment has sold Fresh TV Inc's new animated surf comedy Stoked (26 x 22) to Cartoon Network USA, the kids' entertainment specialists have today announced that the show has a double platform with CANAL+ and TPS Jeunesse.
Stoked - which was developed and produced by Toronto-based Fresh TV Inc. for Canadian cablenet TÉLÉTOON - is a character-driven animated sitcom about six teenagers who come together one summer to work (and surf) at the world renowned Surfer's Paradise Resort. For twelve weeks they will spend their first summer away from home, work the hardest they ever have, and most importantly have the opportunity to surf on their days off. The series was created and written by Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch at Fresh TV, and is aimed at 8-12 year olds.
In addition, CANAL+ and TPS Jeunesse have also acquired Fresh TV Inc's animated reality TV spoof Total Drama Island - CAKE's best-selling property of 2008 - and Total Drama Action, the follow-up series, as part of a package along with Stoked.
Genevieve Dexter, Partner & Commercial Director at CAKE, says: "This is great 3 series deal with our valued partners, Canal + and TPS Jeunesse. Stoked and Total Drama Action are fantastic properties that tap into the tween market really successfully; these deals show that there is a real desire for quality kid's programming that challenges the status quo."
Fresh TV Inc's McGillis adds: "This production takes flash animation to new heights with eye-popping water animation and stunning character design. Fresh has also licensed hundreds of surf songs for the show and its website so we can't wait for the series to launch."
