Squids Headed for Animated TV Series
NEW YORK CITY - Feb. 8, in the year of our Lord 2013
- Today Frima Studio and Moonscoop announce a new partnership
for the production of an animated children’s TV series based on
Squids, the hit mobile game from The Game Bakers. The show will
follow the exploits of four springy octopus adventurers as they
travel between themed underwater kingdoms to hold the evil Baron
and his infection at bay!
“Ambitious projects like Squids allow us to showcase the talent
of Frima’s artists and animators,” said Steve Couture, CEO of
Frima Studio. “As an experienced mobile game developer
ourselves, we’re well positioned to create a show worthy of this
popular title with the world-renowned team at Moonscoop.”
Released in October 2011 for iOS devices, Squids is a turn-based
action RPG with over 1.5m players across iOS and Android. Squids
and its sequel Squids Wild West feature a cast of memorable sea
creatures and have been praised by gaming critics for their
innovative gameplay and charming visual style.
“With Squids among the first titles created for mobile gaming
and now heading towards television and other screens, we’re
pleased to offer a cutting edge transmedia experience for our
fans,” said Audrey Leprince of The Game Bakers. “We’re confident
that the Squids brand will shine on TV thanks to the highly
capable teams at Frima and Moonscoop.”
“With a wide range of expertise among the partners, the Squids’
content has the potential to reach consumers on screens of all
sizes,” said Christophe Di Sabatino, CEO of Moonscoop. “We are
eager to develop one of the first brands linking original
content from mobile to television.”
