MIPJunior Spotlight: Animasia Studio

Two of Animasia Studio’s “current hottest brands” will be presented at MIPCOM: Chuck Chicken and Harry & Bunnie, both of which are slated for sophomore seasons.

“The unique 2D flash animation style that Animasia has created over the years has contributed to the quality of the animation, combined with Western storytelling,” says Edmund Chan, the company’s managing director. “The comedy level was increased significantly for Chuck Chicken as more emphasis [is put on] hiring writers with strong comedy backgrounds.”

Animasia is also promoting the CGI preschool show Mighty Mechs, a new development that is being co-produced with a leading Chinese animation company. “Mighty Mechs targets an important topic,” says Chan. “This adventure comedy series promotes protection of the environment.”
