VIZ Media announced earlier this week that they have acquired the production and licensing rights from ShoPro to develop an original animated series based on the Japanese children's property GAKKIMALS. GAKKIMALS is based on an original concept by Japanese production duo PecanNuts where musical instruments and animals are mashed-up and combine to bring happiness and harmony to their fun-filled world.
“The acquisition of GAKKIMALS represents an important step in our initiative to develop new and engaging global content in partnership with our creative partners in Japan,” said Brad Woods, CMO, VIZ Media. “GAKKIMALS is a truly unique children’s property that combines the evergreen appeal of music and animals into a vibrant environment that inspires early childhood learning with a fun cast of endearing characters. We look forward to working closely with our partners at ShoPro to develop this exciting new show.”
Stay tuned for more details as they develop!
