Fantastic Four & Creepie Heading to Mexico

Taffy Ent. announced that Televisa has purchased the free TV rights in Mexico to the award-winning kids' animated series GROWING UP CREEPIE and THE FANTASTIC FOUR. The deal was completed in partnership with Hola Ent., the Latin America agent for Taffy Ent.

Winner of a Pulcinella Award and nominated for an Emmy in its first season, GROWING UP CREEPIE (52x11) is an irreverent look at adolescence through the eyes of 12-year old Creepie Creecher, a young girl abandoned as a baby and raised by a family of bugs. With a praying mantis mother, a vampire mosquito father and a gnat and pill bug for brothers, Creepie knew her family was different from the others, but she now deals on a daily basis with the most bizarre and unpredictable species on the planet -- human teenagers. The show launched last fall on pay TV on Nickelodeon Latin America and it airs in the U.S. on the Discovery Kids Channel. The series is produced by Mike Young Prods. and Discovery Kids, in association with DAG Ent., Sunwoo Ent./Peach Blossom and, Telegael Teoranta. The program is also produced with the support of The Media Development Authority of Singapore and with the support of investment incentives for the Irish Film Industry provided by the Government of Ireland.

FANTASTIC FOUR (26x26) is the action-comedy animation series based on Marvel's renowned franchise, which brings to life the comic book heroes, Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, The Invisible Girl and The Human Torch for fans of all ages. The series is co-produced by MoonScoop and Marvel, with the participation of Cartoon Network Europe and M6. Taffy Ent. has distribution rights outside the U.S., with Marvel handling U.S. television and subsequent DVD distribution rights and worldwide merchandising. Throughout Latin America, the show can also be found on pay TV on Cartoon Network Latin America.
