Stoked Gets U.S. Slot

LONDON: Cake Entertainment has finalized the sale of Fresh TV’s animated surf comedy Stoked to Cartoon Network in the U.S. 

The character-driven animated sitcom is about six teenagers who come together one summer to work, and surf, at the renowned Surfer’s Paradise Resort. The deal builds on Cake’s existing relationship with Cartoon Network USA, which previously picked up the animated reality-TV spoof series Total Drama Island and animal martial-arts cartoon Skunk Fu!

Ed Galton, the managing director of distribution for Cake, said: "Following the enormous international success Total Drama Island had last year on Cartoon Network, we’re excited about the year ahead. Stoked is a fantastic property, with the same mix of humor with top-quality animation that made Total Drama Island so successful, and it is just the series to further demonstrate why Cake was lauded as one of leading kids distributors in 2008."
