New CGI Animated TV Series, Twisted Whiskers, from American Greetings Properties, Taffy Entertainment & DQ Entertainment Sold by Taffy Entertainment to France and the UK
New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA – October 13, 2008 – Taffy Entertainment and American Greetings Properties announce that France’s CANAL+ and the UK’s CBBC have acquired the broadcast rights to the all-new “Twisted Whiskers” CGI-animated entertainment series. Now in production, “Twisted Whiskers,” targeted to boys and girls 4-12 years old, is scheduled for an early 2009 debut. The series includes 52 ten-minute episodes and 30-second shorts in high-definition.
Produced by American Greetings Properties, Taffy Entertainment and DQ Entertainment, in association with Mike Young Productions (MYP), the “Twisted Whiskers” animated series is based on the wildly-popular American Greetings Corporation card line featuring a “twisted” bunch of cats and dogs. Launched in 2001, Twisted Whiskers became the fastest-selling summer social expressions line ever developed by American Greetings Corporation. Taffy Entertainment, a leading worldwide distribution, brand management and entertainment company represents “Twisted Whiskers” for international distribution.
“It’s a testament to the strength of American Greetings Properties and the ‘Twisted Whiskers’ brand that high-profile broadcasters like CANAL+ and BBC have signed on so early in the production process,” said Lionel Marty, President, Worldwide Sales for Taffy Entertainment. “We have received interest from a number of major broadcasters and we anticipate new deals will be announced soon. This is a hilarious show with some of the most lovable and addictive characters.”
“We see Twisted Whiskers as a 21st century extension of Looney Tunes in the sense that each segment is treated like a self-contained theatrical short where we mix & match a core group of strong and uniquely off-beat pet characters in a wide variety of scenarios,” explains Sean Gorman, Vice President, Development & Production, American Greetings Properties. “We are confident that its squash & stretch fur animation, rendered in full HD, will only make the humor and characters of Twisted Whiskers all the more endearing.”
