Pesky and Bejuba! Ent. and Studio B Prods. have begun production on the animated series, THE AMAZING ADRENALINI BROTHERS! Created by U.K.-based Pesky, this seven-minute formatted series of 26 half-hours is aimed at kids 6-12 and will air on ITVs prime Saturday morning slot, CITVs Ministry of Mayhem. The series is also set to debut on YTV in Canada, and on Cartoon Network. Bejuba! Ent. holds television distribution rights with Studio B holding digital rights to the series.
Based on the highly popular award-winning Web shorts of the same name, the series follows the antics, adventures and misadventures of three daredevil brothers who live for action and excitement. Leaving behind their little-known homeland of Rendoosia, where danger is a way of life, the Adrenalinis are on a mission to amaze people the world over with their mind-boggling feats, which are spectacular in the extreme but never turn out quite as expected.
David Hodgson, Peskys producer of the original shorts as well as this new series, said, Its a scream a very, very, very loud one! But beyond the manic all-action slapstick whats so great about this show is the light and shade thats why it appeals to all ages in all countries. Its the universally language of physical humor combined with painfully familiar scenes of cultural misunderstanding and family bickering a comedy classic in the making.
Were thrilled to get the series out there, said Tatiana Kober of Bejuba! Ent. The worldwide popularity of the original shorts convinced us that the Adrenalinis were ready for bigger things. The enthusiasm of the broadcasters globally backs our belief that these extremely funny brothers are destined for the big time!
THE AMAZING ADRENALINI BROTHERS! is an exceptionally funny show, added Studio B Prods. partner, Blair Peters. You can put these guys anywhere and let the fun begin. In this longer version you will see them meet the Loch Ness Monster, tackle the Wild West and wreak havoc on the Olympics. The series will translate well into other formats outside of TV such as mobile and of course the web, this will be a great franchise.
THE AMAZING ADRENALINI BROTHERS! is pure visual fun for audiences of all ages, said Bonita Siegel, director, original productions, Corus Childrens Television. Viewers will be able to enjoy the colourful characters across many platforms, including on-air, on YTVs website ytv.com, and on mobile phones. We look forward to our audiences learning Rendossian the language of the Adrenalini Brothers!
