Drago. Robert C. Ramirez (<em>Mickey\u2019s Tale of Two Witches<\/em>, <em>Minnie\u2019s Bow-Toons<\/em>, <em>Clifford\u2019s Really Big Movie<\/em>) is on board as showrunner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to work with Trustbridge to adapt Flavia\u2019s zany, offbeat world of Gustavo into this new preschool series that we like to describe as the paranormal Peanuts gang meets My Little Ghoulish Pony,\u201d stated Chantal Ling, VP of original series and co-productions for Mercury Filmworks. \u201cWe aim to incorporate the elements that helped make the book series so popular for young children by gently combining the spooky aspects with a sweet, humorous storyline filled with heart that also delves into feelings of bravery and loneliness with the theme of friendship always at its core.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to introduce <em>Gustavo<\/em> to fans who already know and love Flavia\u2019s books as well as those who will be meeting Gustavo and his friends for the first time,\u201d said Bob Higgins, president of Trustbridge Entertainment. \u201cWe are delighted to be working with Mercury Filmworks and Robert C. Ramirez on this special series full of hilariously haunted adventures that will help kids discover and celebrate their own unique talents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drago commented: &#8220;The amazing teams at Trustbridge and Mercury have truly outdone themselves, capturing the heart of the books and characters and bringing them to life in such a brilliant way! I\u2019m beyond proud and thrilled to be part of this project filled with kindness, fun and spookiness\u2014of course.
