HALIFAX – DHX Media has signed a far-reaching deal with Turner Broadcasting for the new animated television series Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series, based on the Sony Pictures Animation blockbuster film franchise.
The company said that the new 26 x 22' animated series, which DHX Media is producing with Sony Pictures Animation, commissioned by Teletoon in Canada, has been picked up by Turner Broadcasting for its Boomerang kids channel across EMEA, APAC, and Latin America.
DHX Media handles global television, licensing and merchandising and non-US home entertainment rights to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series (Sony will distribute home entertainment in the US).
The series, which is being produced at DHX's animation studio in Vancouver, is a prequel to the 2009 mouth-watering animated comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and its 2013 sequel, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Both films were critical and commercial successes which grossed a combined $510 million in theaters.
