NATPE Spotlight: Toei Animation

The movie One Piece: Stampede is a highlight of Toei Animation’s catalog as the company plans to roll out the first two seasons of the uncut One Piece TV series with new Spanish and Portuguese dubbing at NATPE.

“There’s been a lot of requests for the One Piece TV series and movies from fans and networks,” says Daniel Castaneda, director of film licensing and production at Toei Animation. “One Piece: Stampede’s theatrical release will be a good complement to create and expand awareness of the title.” As the company relaunches Digimon, the feature film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution–Kizuna is only one of the projects set to be released and will be followed up with related surprises and announcements.

There’s also the TV series Dragon Ball Super, which has worked well for Toei Animation’s clients, according to Castaneda.
