Cake Inks Australian Co-production Deal

LONDON, October 7: Cake
Entertainment is aligning with Melbourne-based Studio Moshi to produce a new
comedic action animation series for the 6-to-11 set called El Mariachi.

An original creation from
Studio Moshi, El Mariachi is a
2-D 52×11-minute show that has “classic cartoon appeal,” says Tom van Waveren,
the creative director at Cake. “Michael Amos and Andrew Davies at Studio Moshi
bring a refreshing mix of enthusiasm, passion and experience to the table,
which is apparent in every panel of the show. We are excited about the
potential of our partnership with Studio Moshi on El Mariachi and look forward to start introducing the project
to the market next week.”

Davies and Amos, who
co-created the show, added: “We were immediately drawn to Cake Entertainment as
the ideal partner for El Mariachi
with their broad experience and success in bringing a range of fantastic
top-rating animated titles to life. We are thrilled to have such a strong
partner in Cake Entertainment and are extremely excited to unleash our mighty
Mariachi hero with this super team!”
