New Animated TV Series From Australia’s SLR Productions Based on Popular Children’s Book Now Airing on Kabillion in the US

LOS ANGELES (15 October 2008) Taffy Entertainment, a leading worldwide distribution, brand management and entertainment company that represents brands from some of the largest animation producers across the globe, has sold its new Emmy® Award-winning “I Got A Rocket!” animated kids’ and family series to Disney Channel in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Emerging Markets. The 52×11’ comedy series is scheduled for an early 2009 debut.

Produced by SLR Productions, in association with Taffy Entertainment, Sunwoo Entertainment, Peach Blossom, KI.KA ARD and Europool, “I Got A Rocket!” is based on the popular Australian children’s book of the same name. The series follows the out-of-this world adventures of 12-year-old Vinnie Q, who receives the ultimate birthday present from his dad – a cool outer space rocket with artificial intelligence! Although he thinks Rocket will make his life a lot more exciting, it actually gets more complicated – with a comic twist – as Vinnie and his friends go full speed ahead into some unbelievable adventures – and misadventures! The show is currently available in the US on Kabillion, Network 10 and Nickelodeon in Australia, Gulli in France and Germany’s KI.KA among others.

“Disney Channel is well-known for its great programming, which is why they have some of the most popular shows in the world,” said Lionel Marty, President, Worldwide Sales for Taffy Entertainment. “It’s a testament to the hard work of our production team that a high-caliber broadcaster like Disney Channel has snapped up the show this quickly. We anticipate kids in these territories will be drawn to the show in much the same fashion as the countries where it is now on the air. It’s going to be a hit with kids for a long time to come.”

Jonathan Boseley, Vice President of Programming, Disney Channel UK comments: “We’re thrilled to be launching “I Got A Rocket!”. Animation is part of Disney Channel’s DNA and we’re sure that kids will be inspired by the fun-filled adventures that Vinnie Q and his friends undertake.”
