CAKE’s Angelo Rules Gets DVD, Magazine Extensions

The first branded magazine and home entertainment deals have been secured for TeamTO and CAKE’s Angelo Rules in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

German publisher Blue Ocean will launch the magazine, while S.A.D. Home Entertainment will release the DVDs. S.A.D. will roll out four single DVDs and one box set following the debut of season four on Super RTL this fall.

The first 36-page Angelo Rules magazine will be available on October 30 and will feature comics and short stories written in Angelo’s language and style, activity elements such as quizzes and games, as well as tips and tricks about how to get through the school-day, and more.

The second bi-monthly magazine will be a Christmas edition released on December 27. The magazine releases will be supported by advertising in target-relevant BOE magazines, as well as the cross-promotional support of German licensing agency g.l.a.m.

Sigrun Kaiser, co-founder and CEO of Blue Ocean, commented, “We are very thrilled to have created such an amazing magazine project: being a cult show first, Angelo has become a true crowd pleaser and evolved into one of the most successful shows on German kids’ TV over the last years while enlarging its target group constantly. With Blue Ocean being the number one publisher for kids‘ magazines in Germany, the likable adventurer now gets his own magazine on the press shelves. And with our magazine, fans learn everything they know and love about Angelo—in printed form: exclusive comic stories as well as sassy brain teasers, all garnished with Angelo’s typical sense of humor.”
