marblemedia are developing a new animated series for children 6 to 9 optioned from the popular children's book GNASTY GNOMES by youth writer R.L. Stine (GOOSEBUMPS, ROTTEN SCHOOL, FEAR STREET). Throughout MIPCOM, marblemedia will be on hand to take international broadcasters into the lives of the Gnasty Gnomes.

GNASTY GNOMES features the hilarious adventures of 8-year-old Wort, his older sister Juny and their family of foul, revolting and above all "gnasty" Gnomes. When a door is jammed or an email spammed, look for the Gnastys.

Each week Wort, Juny, their parents Wilbur and Ivy and Wort's pet rat Catfood find new and nauseating ways to save their family and friends from being turned into ceramic lawn ornaments by the perfectly refined (and perfectly evil) Gardners.

Miklos Perlus, Head of Content Development, marblemedia said, "R.L. Stine is a genius and an author so many young people know and love. Creating new stories for his characters is going to be an animated adventure we really are looking forward to."
