Moonscoop takes swing at cricket toon
MIPTV: France’s Moonscoop is here with two new cartoons, one featuring Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar and the other based on a popular toy doll.
Master Blasters (26x22′) features Tendulkar voicing an animated version of himself, and is being produced by Moonscoop and the UK arm of India’s Shemaroo Entertainment.
“With his incredible popularity in the half the world where cricket is a passion, Sachin and Master Blaster will break international boundaries,” said Mike Young, CEO of Moonscoop.
“Cricket runs in the blood of every Indian and we are sure this highly entertaining series will introduce it to non-cricketing countries,” added Smita Maroo, VP at Shemaroo.
Moonscoop is launching the show in Cannes, alongside Lalaloopsy (52x22′), a series made with MGA Entertainment and Nickelodeon based on MGA’s doll brand of the same name.
Debuting on the kidcaster in the US last month, the series “captures the charm and spirit of the adored Lalaloopsy dolls,” said US-based Moonscoop president Liz Young.
Last month, Moonscoop licensed new series Code Lyoko Evolution to RTBF in Belgium, Cineplex in Thailand, Canal Panda in Portugal, Canal+ in Poland, Noga in Israel, Prava I Prevodi in ex-Yugoslavia, DPI in Russia and MTV in Finland.
