Cartoon Network, MYP, Gamania Align for New Series

LOS ANGELES/CANNES, April
20: Mike Young Productions (MYP) and Gamania
Digital Entertainment (GDE), a publisher of online multi-player games in Asia,
have partnered with Cartoon Network International to co-produce the new
animated comedy/action series Hero: 108, aimed at kids aged 6 to 11.

Hero: 108 is a coming-of-age tale focused on 14-year-old Lin
Chung (a.k.a. Panther Eye), a young warrior with special powers. Lin is part of a group of kid defenders
determined to end a conflict between animals and humans in a hidden kingdom. It
is based on the ancient Chinese novel The Water Margin.

“Hero 108 possesses a rare combination of funny, original
storytelling and fresh, exciting visuals,” said Daniel Lennard, the VP of
original series and development for Cartoon Network Europe. “The show is at the
same time both spirited and sweet, and it is that sensibility which makes it
feel like a true Cartoon Network program. We are eager to present the series to
our worldwide kid audience and trust that they will love it as much as we do!”
