Skechers Entertainment Launches Zevo-3

CANNES: Zevo-3, the first animated children’s series from Skechers Entertainment, which produced the show in association with Moonscoop, has been presold in the U.S. to Nicktoons for a fall debut.

The series originated as a comic-book franchise and evolved into a 2-D animated property with 3-D CGI effects. It follows three young heroes—Jason (Z-Strap), Ellie (Elastika) and Matt (Kewl Breeze)—who develop extraordinary powers after a freak accident exposes them to a mysterious green compound.

“We wanted to create something fresh with Zevo-3 by combining teen angst with superhero adventures and a healthy dose of humor,” said executive producer Kristen Van Cott, who is also the senior VP of creative development for Skechers Entertainment. “The response we’re getting from international buyers has convinced us that Zevo-3 is destined to become a global hit.”

“Z-Strap, Elastika and Kewl Breeze will become as famous as the very top superheroes in the business today,” commented Mike Young, the CEO of Moonscoop US. “Skechers has made a great entrée into entertainment and has a worldwide marketing operation that is fully backing the show.”
