YTV Commissions Amberwood’s Rollbots

OTTAWA,
June 5: Amberwood Entertainment has been commissioned by YTV in Canada to
produce RollBots, a new 3-D
animated action-comedy series targeted at kids aged 6-11.

The
new series will initially be comprised of 26 half hours, and will commence full
production this month. It has been partially funded by YTV and the Canadian
Television Fund.

Based
on an original idea by Michael Milligan, RollBots feature perfectly round robots that roll at
extreme speeds on roller-coaster type tracks through Flip City, a community
that contains 11 different tribes of rollbots.

In making the announcement, Jonathan Wiseman, the VP of sales and acquisitions
at Amberwood, stated, “We are very excited to be moving forward with RollBots. YTV has been a fantastic partner throughout
development of the property and their support will help us to introduce a fresh
new brand to the market place.”
