Cake Scores Sales for Total Drama Island

LONDON, June 4: Cake
Distribution has secured a raft of sales for its animated reality show Total
Drama Island with Cartoon Network
channels in the U.S., Latin America, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe,
the Middle East and Africa.

The series will make its
U.S. debut this Thursday at 9 p.m., with further launches following later in
the year. A Fresh TV production for TELETOON in Canada, the 26×22-minute
animated series features an elimination competition, in the style of reality
programming.

“After the spectacular
performance in its home territory it was only a question of time before the
right partners would be found to take Total Drama Island into the world,” said Ed Galton,
the managing director of Cake Distribution. “We are therefore particularly
excited to have secured the enthusiasm and support of such a large selection of
channels within the Cartoon Network family in Europe, the Americas and beyond.
This week’s premiere of Total Drama Island will mark the start of a great demonstration that
animation can still secure broad audiences. We are simply delighted!”
