CREATOR: Curtis Jobling 



TV SHOW: Digital 2-D series with 30 11-minute episodes, targeted at kids 6 to 11.

DESCRIPTION: Proudly introducing the first experiment of Dr. Clive Frankenstein: meet Frankenstein’s Cat, a freaky but friendly fall-apart feline. His name is Nine; not because he has nine lives, but because that’s how many cats it took to make him. The series follows the antics of this cat that doesn’t fit together properly and his only friend, Lottie, a girl who doesn’t fit in. Based on the acclaimed book, this wonderfully gross comedy will make you love Nine to bits.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Ian Mackinnon, Peter Saunders, Michel P. Pinard and Thierry Rivard

COMMISSIONING BROADCASTERS: CBBC in U.K., France 3 and Cartoon Network in France

MAJOR TOY LICENSEES: CCI Entertainment is currently seeking toy partners to develop a line of products to complement the series.



OTHER PRODUCTS: The consumer-products strategy, in addition to toys, calls for publishing, social expressions, apparel, promotional tie-ins and home entertainment.

STRATEGY FOR ROLLOUT: CCI seeks to partner with licensees to develop a targeted program that captures the unique and quirky spirit and humor of the television program with a view to an autumn/winter 2009 release, to be supported with marketing and promotional initiatives. The company is finalizing agreements with international licensing agents in key territories worldwide.
