Storm Hawks:

Huntik:
26 mystical animation-episodes are presently in production and further 26 half-hour episodes are already being developed. Already this year, the HUNTIK FOUNDATION, being on the quest of a dark secret, will let boys' hearts swell. Responsible for the latter is the Irish Production company BIG BOCCA, as well as the renowned animationshouse Rainbow (well-known for Winx Club, Monster Allergy et al.). The idea for the serial is based on a script by Iginio Straffi, who also functions as director. As master licensee for trading cards, stickers und collectables, the company Upper Deck (i.e. Yu-Gi-Oh!, World of Warcarft) has already been won. |

"We are convinced of having acquired two first-rate prgrammes with both of these serials", states Ulli Stoef (CEO m4e). "Action, combined with comedy and adventure match exactly the current spirit of time and hence, both serials have the potential to become strong brands. We will be happy to be able to announce the broadcasting stations and merchandising partners shortly". |
