Sphere Animation & BYUtv Join Forces for Saving Me

Montreal-based Sphere Animation has partnered with BYUtv to produce Saving Me, an animated comedy adventure family sitcom.

Marking the first collaboration between Sphere and BYU Broadcasting and the first animated series for BYUtv, Saving Me will tell the story of a grumpy old tech billionaire from the distant future who has messed up his life, relationships and the world. When he goes back in time, he teams up with his 11-year-old self to figure out how to be a better person and prevent their miserable future.

Principal voice actors include Ivan Sherry (Inspector Gadget), Adam Sanders (Clifford the Big Red Dog), Jonathan Tan (My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale), Amariah Faulkner (Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), Ana Sani (Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City), Dan Chameroy (Hotel Transylvania: The Series), Cory Doran (Total DramaRama) and Jamie Watson (True and the Rainbow Kingdom).

The full first season of Saving Me, which will consist of 20×22-minute episodes released in two ten-episode parts, will stream for free on the BYUtv app and at BYUtv.org beginning on October 1.

Sphere Animation is responsible for providing production services from managing scripts to post-production for the series.

Jacques Bilodeau, president and producer of Sphere Animation, said: “We are thrilled with the opportunity to partner with BYUtv on this great project. It’s a great mark of confidence for the entire Sphere Animation team. BYUtv is an important player in family television in the U.S., and we have the talent to support them.”
