The show consists of 26 half hours that will begin airing on Nickelodeon Italy, France 5, ZDF, TiJi and SVT later this year.
Will & Dewitt is set to debut on RT’, introducing Irish viewers to an everyday kid named Will, who is able to jump into new situations with a little help from Dewitt, a frog who has become his best friend, cheerleader and morphing pal. Twenty-six half-hour episodes of this early school empowerment series will debut this fall.
Jetix has licensed two of Cookie Jar’s newest adventure series, Magi-Nation and World of Quest. Magi-Nation is a multi-platform fantasy-adventure property about a normal teenage boy whose world is forever changed when he is mystically transported to a beautiful world far beyond imagination. An immersive online role-playing game titled Magi-Nation: Battle for the Moonlands debuts this week at www.Magi-Nation.com. The comedic buddy series World of Quest finds a young pampered prince and his reluctant sidekick on a mission to save his family and their kingdom.
