Jetpack Distribution has secured rights for the animated series Kung Fu Pork Choppers<\/em> from the global licensing company Centa IP.<\/p>\n The deal comprises two seasons of 52×11-minute episodes. The CGI animated comedy-action-adventure series is targeted at 4- to 8-year-olds. The show follows a team of five galactic out-of-this-world pigs in space and their super-powered Splaximal pets, transformed by the slimy substance \u201cSplaxis\u201d from the cutest creatures to mega-sized fighting machines.<\/p>\n The original series GG Bond<\/em> (meaning Pig Hero in Chinese) launched in China in 2005 and has been consistently in the top five rated shows every year since.<\/p>\n The first three seasons of Kung Fu Pork Choppers<\/em> are produced by China-based Winsing in collaboration with CraneKahn. Winsing Animation Group, the Chinese commissioning platform, has committed to at least 300 episodes, which will see multiple seasons of the hit series produced.<\/p>\n For the L&M program, all rights are handled by Centa IP.<\/p>\n Centa IP\u2019s CEO, Gail Mitchell, commented: \u201cWe absolutely love this property\u2014the humor, the adventure, the cast and the storylines. We have no doubt that this series will be a huge success and are very proud to be presenting it to the rest of the world alongside Jetpack Distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n Al Kahn, CEO of CraneKahn, said: “It’s a rarity to discover one show in a lifetime that has the hallmarks of a global hit. I saw it in Pokemon<\/em> and Yu-Gi-Oh!<\/em> And both became a worldwide phenomenon and are still going gangbusters 25 years later. When I first saw GG Bond<\/em>, I was in hog heaven and knew lightning had not only struck twice but a third time as well!”<\/p>\n Jetpack\u2019s global director of distribution, acquisitions and development, Gillian Calvert-Ridge, added: \u201cThis toon is genuinely hilarious! And will have kids across the globe squealing with delight! It\u2019s been a number one hit in China for many years now and has all the attributes kids love, tones of humor, adventure and action\u2014all with a strong porcine theme! We\u2019re very proud to present this at MIPCOM. And we\u2019re certain kids beyond China are going to love it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jetpack Distribution has secured rights for the animated series Kung Fu Pork Choppers from the global licensing company Centa IP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":23766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[958],"class_list":["post-23765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jetpack-distribution","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
