The adventure-comedy series will air on YTV in Canada and on JETIX EUROPE NETWORK internationally. It is being distributed by Buena Vista International Television and Bejuba! Entertainment and will air in the early spring in multiple international markets.

MONSTER WARRIORS is a live-action/CGI series for the youth market. Four teenage heroes fight to save Capital City from the gigantic monsters unleashed by the evil ex-B-movie maker Klaus Von Steinhauer (played by Gemini award-winner Sean Cullen). Using everyday household appliances to make their cool weapons, the Monster Warriors - Luke, Tabby, Antonio and Vanka - defend Capital City against a new oversized creature every week - be it a giant ice creature, the colossal radioactive junk monster, or cockroaches the size of a bus.

Filmed entirely in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, the city's quarries, junkyards and waterfront created the perfect photo realistic stage upon which visual effects team Bullseye Post Production integrated the show's groundbreaking computer generated monsters.

With its all-Canadian cast, MONSTER WARRIORS feature the talents of comedian and two-time Gemini Award-Winner Sean Cullen of Toronto, who plays evil-doer Klaus Von Steinhauer, Vancouver's Jared Keeso (Smallville) plays MONSTER WARRIORS leader Luke; Montreal's Lara Amersey (Radio Free Roscoe) is Vanka, the group's Stealthy warrior; Mandy Butcher (Naturally Sadie) of Cambridge plays the junior MacGyver, Tabby; and Toronto's Yani Gellman (The Lixxie McGuire Movie) is Antonio, the scientific brains behind the team.

Created, written and directed by Wilson Coneybeare, Monster Warriors is the latest family project from Coneybeare Stories. The same brand was responsible for Kratts' Creatures and Time Blazers. Coneybeare Stories is also in dvelopment with two other television series and two family feature films. It is the mandate of the company to provide innovative and lively television that the whole family can enjoy and parents can trust.

"I have four kids ten years and under", says Coneybeare. "IT's hard to find shows you don't worry about. If you are a parent, you know what I am talking about. With Monster Warriors, it was fun to be able to bring the show home every day and know that my three year old could watch it as well as my ten year old. It's a retro-adventure comedy, and we all got to laugh and be spooked together".

In Canada, MONSTER WARRIORS will premiere on YTV in its regular timeslot Saturday, March 18 at 10:30 AM,
and repeat on Wednesday at 7:30 PM. (All timess ET/PT)
