TV animation
A Korean TV animation series will be broadcast on Britain's BBC for the first time in Korea's history.
Imagestone, the producer of the animation "Rocket Boy & Toro," said on July 27 that the company signed a contract for the broadcasting of the 52- episode TV animation series starting from April 1, 2008.
The winning of the contract is evaluated to be a testimony to the super qualities of the Korean company's planning and producing of an animation.
Imagestone, with a 51% stake in the project, will be in charge of planning and producing, while Jimmy Hiebert, the writer of the highly popular animation "Bob the Build" will write the script. British production company Cosgrove Hall, which is better known as "Disney of Britain," will take charge of postproduction, and Village Production the music.
With the exception of the US, the animation is scheduled to be sold to countries outside Britain through the distributor Indigo Film and Television that has a distribution network covering more than 100 countries around the world.
The animated comic adventure targets children aged six to eight and features a series of events happening when "Dr. Square," the super computer with evil ambitions to conquer the universe, decides to send foolish universe pirates to find out the secrets behind the speed of "Rocket Boy," the fastest delivery boy in the universe.
