Further, Flickerpix\u2019s David Cummings and Johnny Schumann will serve as executive producer and animation director, respectively. Casting is currently underway, pending negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the Arcana feature film <em>Pixies<\/em>\u2014originally adapted from the studio\u2019s graphic novel of the same name\u2014the series is a family-friendly animated series aimed at children ages 5 to 8. When their kingdom is invaded by mysterious creatures called the Sluagh, Prince Sam, Princess Daisy and their friends travel around the world in search of the lost relics that will save the Pixie kingdom.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Pixies<\/em> has already received funding from the Canada Media Fund (CMF) and Northern Ireland Screen.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Reilly said: \u201cWe have found an exceptional partner in Flickerpix. The<em> Pixies<\/em> film was only Arcana\u2019s second feature, and expanding this story world into television is a very \u2018full circle\u2019 moment for me. As our slate of feature films and television grows, we are always on the lookout for global partnerships, and we look forward to working with Flickerpix on this production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumann added: \u201cWe are very excited to be part of this journey with Arcana. Once we heard about the exciting direction that Sean wanted to take with the show, drawing inspiration from Celtic mythology and folklore, we were fully on board. The concept is exciting, with plenty of scope for epic adventures, and the characters are appealing with a good variation of complementary personalities to take us on journeys packed with heart and humor. It is also a great opportunity to further strengthen what is already a strong relationship between Irish and Canadian animation companies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arcana Studio has entered into a development deal with Ireland-based Flickerpix for The Pixies series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":19591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[892,5757],"class_list":["post-19590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-arcana-studio","tag-flickerpix","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Arcana Studio &amp; Flickerpix Prep The Pixies - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Arcana Studio &amp; Flickerpix Prep The Pixies - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Arcana Studio has entered into a development deal with Ireland-based Flickerpix for The Pixies series.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-11-18T15:31:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/the-pixies-arcana-flickerpix-1120.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/\",\"name\":\"Arcana Studio &amp; Flickerpix Prep The Pixies - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-11-18T15:31:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-11-18T15:31:45+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/arcana-studio-flickerpix-prep-the-pixies\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Arcana Studio &amp; Flickerpix Prep The Pixies\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
