VANCOUVER/LONDON, October 14: The
U.K.-based outfit Pesky and Tatiana Kober’sBejuba!
Entertainment are teaming with Canada’s Studio B Productions for the
animated series The Amazing
Adrenalini Brothers!, which is set to
air on CITV, YTV and Cartoon Network.
Created
by Pesky, the 26x30-minute series is aimed at 6- to 12-year-olds.
Bejuba! Entertainment holds television
distribution rights with Studio B holding digital rights to the
series. Based on the award-winning web shorts of the same name, the
series follows the antics, adventures and misadventures of three
daredevil brothers who leave behind their little-known homeland of
Rendoosia to amaze people around the world
with their feats.
David
Hodgson, Pesky’s producer of the original
shorts and of the new series, noted, “It’s a scream—a very, very,
very loud one! But beyond the manic all-action slapstick what’s so
great about this show is the light and shade… that’s why it appeals
to all ages in all countries. It’s the universally language of
physical humor combined with painfully familiar scenes of cultural
misunderstanding and family bickering—a comedy classic in the
making.”
Kober added, “The worldwide popularity
of the original shorts convinced us that the Adrenalini’s were ready for bigger things. The
enthusiasm of the broadcasters globally backs our belief that these
extremely funny brothers are destined for the big
time.”
Studio B
Productions partner Blair Peters commented, “You can put these guys
anywhere and let the fun begin. In this longer version you will see
them meet the Loch Ness Monster, tackle the Wild West and wreak
havoc on the Olympics. The series will translate well into other
formats outside of TV such as mobile and of course the web, this
will be a great franchise.”
