Hyper Dimension Entertainment has named Malaysia-based kids’ entertainment specialist Animasia Studio as the sole global distributor for Dragon Force.

Season four of the animated series is set to launch in China this month, while an international version will be ready for distribution in mid-2023. Animasia will handle distribution and licensing and merchandising outside of China.

Animasia has already secured multiple TV sales for the first three seasons of Dragon Force with RTV (Indonesia), Mediacorp Suria (Singapore), Astro Tadaa! (Malaysia), MBC 3 Kids Channel (Saudi Arabia), Talit Junior Channel (Israel), ToonAvision (Canada), My TV (Vietnam), Westec Jaikon TV (Cambodia), Televisa BLIM SVOD (Latin America) and Zee Zee Art (Pakistan).

“Kids love dinosaurs and giant robots such as [those in] Transformers and Power Rangers,” said Raye Lee, executive director at Animasia Studio. “Dragon Force is a perfect blend: these kid-favored epic elements with stories that also highlight universal values of friendship, self-reliance, sacrifice and true heroism. Thanks to Hyper Dimension, Blue Arc and partners trusting in Animasia, we are excited to showcase Dragon Force series at MIPCOM. We strongly believe in the Dragon Force franchise.”

“In this new season, we reimagine how the Dragon Force wish their story to be told,” said Leo Yu, CEO and founder of Hyper Dimension. “We use a light series narrative to tell the story of five senior children on the campus who accidentally found the time and space cracks. In this adventure, it brings a series of amazing secrets, a harvest of friendship, and they become the Dragon Force. There was no second thought when we decided Animasia continue to be our sole distributor. We’ve seen, even in this pandemic period, they’re still putting enormous effort to help develop the Dragon Force brand. Many more milestones we shall reach together.”

“In Season 4, we hope to bring a message to kids around 4-9 years old that we can have faith in team spirit, which will help us to overcome the fear of difficulties and setbacks and constantly break through our limits.”
