4Kids Entertainment Brings Animated Action Series to MIPTV

NEW YORK, April 2: 4Kids
Entertainment will offer 40 half-hour episodes of its all-new multiplatform
animated action series Chaotic to
international buyers at MIPTV.

The series, which also
involves a trading card component and online game play, launched in the U.S. on
4Kids TV and made its Canadian debut on March 16 on Teletoon. The new Chaotic multiplatform trading card game will launch in
May. 4Kids holds the exclusive rights to represent Chaotic worldwide across broadcast, home video, music and
merchandise licensing.

The Vancouver-based
animation company Bardel Entertainment was tapped by 4Kids Entertainment to
execute the animated series in high-definition format. In the series, two teenage boys named Tom and Kazdan discover a
portal to the secret world of Chaotic while playing the Chaotic trading card
game, and realize that the one-of-a-kind alphanumeric codes on their trading
cards are actually scans of these living creatures. When the boys are
challenged to a battle, they are transformed into the creatures whose scans
they have previously captured.

“Chaotic is generating terrific interest from international
broadcasters to add it to their programming lineups,” says Brian Lacey, the EVP
of international at 4Kids Entertainment. “Chaotic will bring kids around the globe into a
multi-platform entertainment world with an action-packed television series, a
dynamic trading card game that ties into an exciting online game experience
that serves the interests of kid viewers and the needs of broadcasters alike.
The stories are fast paced, punctuated with conflict and comedy, featuring the
characters and creatures from the trading card and online game.”
