Parthenon Entertainment have optioned the rights to RESCUE ROOKIES from us, a preschool emergency vehicle led property for animation. With the help of uber-talented Qurios Entertainment in the UK we produced a teaser animation earlier in the year that was really well received, especially by Karina Stanford Smith and Carl Hall from Parthenon. You can find more out about Qurios directly from Niel Bushnell's Qurios Blog. Suffice to say we're all tremendously excited to be moving forward on this and have high hopes that we're going to be making a very special childrens show. It features the exploits of Bravo the Police Car, Skipper the Lifeboat, Flash the Fire Engine, Lulu the Ambulance and Birdseye the Rescue Helicopter.
Signing FRANKENSTEINS CAT in hometown
Had a very enjoyable day yesterday, Saturday, signing the newly re-released edition of FRANKENSTEINS CAT in Borders. We shifted close to 80 copies as well as selling out of CHEEKY MONKEY and MY DADDY too. I was also able to show the freshly completed episodes of the TV show which had children and adults alike stopping by to cop an eyefull! Roll on the UK transmission date of January on BBC1 and CBBC. The shows world premiere is just round the corner on France 3, this coming Halloween!

Hey I remember this,I like the look of this show. Hope it gets picked up, you can never have enough talking vehicle TV shows !!
Hey Andy
Although we have talking vehicles this'll hopefully have a few more factors that make it more appealing than the other properties out there. At least, it should if we do our jobs right!
Do you mean nude women ?
Brilliant news. I seem to be watching a lot of kid's telly lately, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Especially if you get some nude women in it:)
Thanks for the nude women postage, guys :-D I'm not sure there's room for nude women in preschool, but hey, I'm open to ideas. He who dares wins, Rodders....
Curtis, if you ever need ideas just call, I'm full of em, and shit too people say !! :)
Neat!
Has a US broadcaster for Frankenstein's Cat been set yet?
Dragonhead - North America is the ONLY territory we haven't got on board yet (bar North Korea, I think!) That said, wheels are in motion and we'll be announcing our North American broadcaster for FC very shortly, certainly before Xmas I would imagine.
