Apparel Deal for Cartoon Net Shows

ATLANTA: Now and Zen Productions has been named as the apparel partner for two of Cartoon Network’s top original series, Chowder and Flapjack.

This is Cartoon Networks Enterprises’ (CNE) first licensing deal for both Chowder and Flapjack, with products due to hit retailers across the U.S. this spring. Now and Zen’s line will include t-shirts and fleece tops for juniors and young men.

“Both Chowder and Flapjack have original styles and distinct, funny characters that fans have quickly grown to love,” said Christina Miller, the VP of CNE. “We are thrilled to partner with Now & Zen Productions, which has designed an apparel line that captures the humor and unique voices of these shows. This new line builds on the success we’ve had creating fashion-focused programs in the juniors and young men’s areas with Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends.”

Scott Morton, the licensing director of Now and Zen, added: “The unique art styles and colorful characters in these shows make creating a distinctive merchandising program a fun task. Cartoon Network has a long history of not only providing creative and wonderful programming, but also of successful and sustainable merchandising programs.”
