Amberwood Ent., Canada and Canadian broadcaster YTV have signed a deal to develop a CG-animated series titled RollBots. The action show for kids 6-11 will be initially comprised of 26 half hours for the international market.
Based on an original idea by Michael Milligan, RollBots centers on perfectly round robots that zip through Flip City, a metropolis of roller-coaster tracks encircling a central hub. Here, the title automatons battle to save their society from the evil Syndicate.
Development funding is being provided by YTV, a subsidiary of Corus Ent., and the Canadian Television Fund. The show’s licensing program will eventually include toys and video games.
