9 Story’s Almost Naked Animals Finds Canadian Home

TORONTO: 9 Story Entertainment has received a commission from Canada’s YTV for the production of Almost Naked Animals, a 52×11-minute series schedule for a fall 2010 premiere.

The fast-paced series, based on the popular website of the same name, features free-spirited animals in their underwear that run a beach-front hotel. Lead dog and hotel manager Howie, who has a tiny attention span, heads up the cast of dysfunctional characters.

"We are very excited to be commencing production on Almost Naked Animals," said 9 Story Entertainment’s CEO, Vince Commisso. "We spent a great deal of time in development, ensuring the characters, the pacing and the tone of the show was precise. It is extremely gratifying to see our work come to fruition and the end result is this high-quality, curiously funny animated property. YTV is the perfect home for this uniquely entertaining series and its memorable characters. The network’s audience is certain to love the off-beat adventures and vivid animation. We also see strong potential for the series in the international marketplace and look forward to introducing our newly completed promo at MIPCOM in October."
