DQ Entertainment and Nickelodeon India have signed a deal to produce the animated children’s series Keymon Ache, reports Animation Express.
The series will consist of 26 half-hour episodes in high definition, with Nick providing content and DQE executing the production for global distribution and licensing. Both companies will co-finance the series.
Keymon Ache is about a 9-year-old boy and his set of magical toy friends.
‘This project has the potential to extend beyond Indian TV audiences as we target multiple media and distribution platforms and engage with children globally,’ says Tapaas Chakravarti, chairman and CEO of DQ Entertainment. ‘We hope to have many more such interesting concepts from Nickelodeon to offer to viewers in the future.’
According to Animation Express, Nick India will have rights to the property in the region of south Asia including India; while DQE will hold exclusive rights for the rest of the world.
