SANTA MONICA: The 13-episode first season of Activision Blizzard’s new animated show Skylanders Academy<\/em>, based on the video-game franchise created by Toys for Bob, has become available for streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Skylanders Academy<\/em> follows the adventures of Spyro, Eruptor, Stealth Elf, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz as they protect the Skylands universe from evil. The Netflix original series, which is animated by France’s TeamTO, features the voices of\u00a0Jonathan Banks, Parker Posey, Norm Macdonald, Ashley Tisdale and Justin Long, among others. It is led by showrunner Eric Rogers (Futurama<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Skylanders Academy<\/em> is the first project from the recently launched Activision Blizzard Studios, and the first Netflix original series to be inspired by a video-game franchise. A second season is due to debut\u00a0on Netflix in late 2017.<\/p>\n

“We are so excited to bring Skylanders<\/em> to families in a new, fun and exciting way,” said Activision Blizzard Studios co-president Stacey Sher. \u201cHigh-quality writing, incredibly talented actors and beautiful animation make Skylanders<\/em> Academy<\/em> an epic adventure for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a huge and engaged global fan base, the $3 billion Skylanders<\/em> franchise was a natural fit for our first project,\u201d added co-president Nick van Dyk. \u201cPartnering with Netflix means huge new audiences can meet the Skylanders, while giving millions of fans worldwide even more of the characters they love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
