\n\tCANNES: Corus Entertainment and Bento Box Entertainment have partnered to create Bento Box Canada, an animation production company based in Toronto with output targeting the 18-to-34 demographic.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two previously signed a multiyear co-development deal. Now, Bento Box and Corus will be working together to develop and produce a slate of original prime-time animated series for Corus networks. Bento Box Entertainment will hold the international distribution rights for the projects to come from the new studio.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis fall, production will begin on the first Bento Box Canada series, The Pandas<\/em>. From creators Mikael Wulff and Anders Morgenthaler, The Pandas<\/em> is an irreverent, animated family comedy with a mix of biting satire and heart.<\/p>\n

\n\t“Over the past year, our teams at Corus and Bento Box Entertainment have been collaborating on a creative pipeline that will see a raft of edgy new animated series come to light for 2016,” said Scott Dyer, the president of Nelvana, which is Corus’s animation studio. “We’re excited to be bringing two world-class teams together to produce fresh new content for the savvy, Millennial demographic.”<\/p>\n

\n\t“Bento Box Entertainment is thrilled to be joining forces with Corus to develop a creative slate of prime-time animated programming,” said Scott Greenberg, CEO and co-founder of Bento Box Entertainment. “The Pandas<\/em> is an ideal first project to launch this collaboration as it brings together a team of strong creators in Wulff and Morgenthaler as well as the production expertise of both Bento Box Entertainment and Corus.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
