Taffy Entertainment Scores New Deals for Code Lyoko

LOS ANGELES, August 7: Taffy Entertainment has completed
licensing deals for new product based on the 2-D and 3-D CGI-animated series Code
Lyoko, including a music CD, video games
and T-shirts.

EMI/Caroline Records recently released the CD Code
Lyoko—Featuring The Subdigitals,
featuring music from and inspired by the animated series. The CD, available
both in the U.S. and internationally, follows last year’s release of the title
song from the show, A World Without Danger, which reached number one on iTunes in the Children’s Music category.

Mindscape will be designing new video games focused around Code
Lyoko’s heroes for the PC and Sony Playstation
2 platforms. The games will be released in 2008 in the U.S., U.K. and France.
In 2007, The Game Factory will have launched two of its own video games based
on Code Lyoko. The Nintendo DS
game based on the series hit U.S. retailers at the beginning of June and a Code
Lyoko game for the new Wii platform will
launch in time for the holiday season.

And in the apparel category, Headline Entertainment will
debut a new line of T-shirts inspired by Code Lyoko this month at specialty retailers in the U.S.

The new deals follow Taffy’s recent in-store summer
promotion agreement for Code Lyoko with
Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s quick-service hamburger chains. The summer promotion at
participating Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurants kicked off June 27 in the
U.S. and Singapore, featuring approximately 3.5 million Cool Kids Combos meal
premiums in four different Code Lyoko designs.

Code Lyoko is
produced by MoonScoop Productions, in association with France 3 and Canal J. It
is distributed worldwide by Taffy Entertainment.
The show airs in the U.S. on Cartoon Network, in France on France 3 and Canal
J, and in the U.K. on CiTV, in addition to nearly 100 countries worldwide.

“With Code Lyoko, the
licensing and promotional possibilities are limitless,” stated Cynthia Money,
the president of worldwide consumer products and marketing for Taffy
Entertainment. “As we enter our fourth season of the series in the U.S. and
France, and earlier seasons debut elsewhere around the world, we are continuing
to grow our fan base and providing them with great new avenues for experiencing
the show on and off their television sets. We look forward to nurturing the new
relationships with our partners and creating many more fun opportunities to
grow the brand in the near future.”
