Breakthrough Animation has landed the Jetix programming block, which airs on Toon Disney, as the U.S. broadcast home for its comedy-adventure animated series CAPTAIN FLAMINGO.
Jetix has licensed all 52 half-hours (104x11) of the animated series aimed at kids 6-12, and 44 minutes of separate CAPTAIN FLAMINGO content produced especially for the Internet and the mobile platform, including story vignettes, original songs and more.
The Jetix licensing agreement follows on the heels of Breakthrough's renewal of the hit animated series with Jetix Europe. In addition, CAPTAIN FLAMINGO has also been licensed to YTV Canada, Nickelodeon Australia, ABC Australia, Nickelodeon Latin America and VRAK TV.
Kevin Gillis, managing partner of Breakthrough Animation Inc. and Exec Producer of CAPTAIN FLAMINGO, said, "We are delighted with the significant two-full-season commitment that Jetix has made to CAPTAIN FLAMINGO. We are honored to be a part of the Jetix family. Their support of the series is a tribute to the extraordinary creative team of co-production partners Breakthrough Animation, Heroic Film Company, Atomic Cartoons and PASI Animation. As he's succeeded in accomplishing throughout Canada, Europe and Australia, the 'Captain' is now poised and ready to capture the attention of kids across the U.S."
CAPTAIN FLAMINGO features Milo Powell, who, armed with his backpack of powerful joke-store novelty items, saves the day every time with a little help from his best pal, anonymous sidekick and not-so-secret admirer, Lizbeth.
CAPTAIN FLAMINGO was created by Heroic's John May and Suzanne Bolch and developed by Breakthrough Animation's Gillis and Atomic Cartoon's Rob Davies and is a co-production of Breakthrough Animation, Heroic Film Co., Atomic Cartoons and PASI Animation.
