Canada’s TELETOON has greenlit Fatkat Animation’s new series Space Knights for its late-night teen/adult block, The Detour. Set to debut in the fall of 2008, the show was developed as part of The Detour on TELETOON Pilot Project, a recently launched initiative that invites producers to submit new, no-holds-barred comedy programs for broadcast consideration.
Space Knights parodies action cartoons of the late 90’s as a group of slightly outdated caped crusaders transform into a variety of giant robots by linking together their Honda accords. They use their unique powers to stop a never ending stream of bizarre creatures and insane villains, though bickering and in?fighting may be their most formidable adversary.
Based in New Brunswick, Canada, Fatkat was established in 2003 as a service animation house with four employees, and today employs more than 120 full-time staff. Having worked on such television series as Happy Tree Friends and the upcoming Three Delivery, a co?venture with Animation Collective, the company has begun developing its own content. Representatives are currently showcasing its properties at MIPCOM, and more information can be found at www.Fatkat.ca.
