Taffy Ent. has closed its first broadcast presales deal for the new animated kids' TV series GERONIMO STILTON with Radio-Canada. The animated series, now in production, is produced by Atlantyca Ent. and Moonscoop Productions, in association with Mike Young Productions.
The new show, based on the popular children's chapter book series of the same name, is scheduled to air during the 2009-2010 season.
The animated series (26x22) centers on the life and adventures of the famous Geronimo Stilton -- head of a veritable media empire, erudite mouse, and klutz extraordinaire, and Benjamin Stilton, his fearless young nephew. Geronimo is an intellectual mild-mannered mouse who would rather spend his days reading or playing chess with his nephew Benjamin.
But then, adventure always comes knocking on their door, launching them paws-first into capers in New Mouse City or in exotic locales around the world. They are often joined in these adventures by Trap, Geronimo's cousin -- the ultimate pack rat and consummate prankster, and Thea, Geronimo's sister who is a daring special correspondent.
Atlantyca Entertainment is the original rights holder of the GERONIMO STILTON brand and all of its character spinoffs. The GERONIMO STILTON books are published worldwide and are available in more than 30 languages.
