St. Louis, Missouri-based Unity Motion, the first company to offer 24-hour high-definition television (HDTV) programming via satellite, has acquired the rights to air six original animated films by independent animator Sally Cruikshank. The films in the package include “Face Like a Frog” and her cult hit, “Quasi at the Quackadero.” Through the year 2000, Unity Motion has made a commitment to spend more than $250 million on movie acquisitions. Cruikshank’s work will air in regular rotation on the channel. Sally Cruikshank is currently a commercial director on the Klasky-Csupo roster.
