Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) announced today the signing of Animation Collective to an exclusive worldwide publishing administration agreement.
Through the agreement, UMPG will administer Animation Collective's entire catalogue of original music created for its popular animated and live-action children's programming, including ELLEN'S ACRES and KAPPA MIKEY. The deal encompasses worldwide administration rights, as well as synchronization rights worldwide.
All of Animation Collective's series on-air, in development, or in production feature original pop and rock songs. Certain series episodes have also been produced as musicals. In February 2008, KAPPA MIKEY will premiere its much-anticipated two-part "Karaoke" episode featuring 10 original songs.
