Cyber Group Launches Taffy

Cyber Group Studios has aligned with Turner to create Taffy, a new animated series for Boomerang.

In addition to debuting on Boomerang across international markets, the series will be broadcast on France Télévisions’ networks. Taffy follows the non-stop, slapstick adventures faced by loyal hound dog Bentley when his billionaire old lady owner Mrs. Muchmore takes in an imposter posing as a wide-eyed, fluffy angora cat.

Inspired by the classic Hanna Barbera cartoons, Taffy will have a special World Premiere presentation at MIPCOM in a session titled “The Making of a Modern Classic” today at the Majestic.

Patricia Hidalgo, chief content officer at Turner EMEA and international kids strategy, said: “We were on the look-out for an original series for Boomerang inspired by the great Hanna Barbera classics and that’s how we came to work on a development project, followed by this fantastic co-production with Cyber Group Studios. Taffy perfectly matches our ambition, and we’re confident it will be an instant hit when it premieres on Boomerang from the end of this year.”

Pierre Sissmann, CEO of Cyber Group Studios and co-creator of Taffy, added: “Cyber Group Studios is particularly proud to bring to the public the very first episodes of this modern classic and strongly believes it will find its home in the heart of kids and families around the world!”
