Australian animation studio Pixel Zoo, part of MGA Entertainment’s subsidiary MGA Studios, and Barcelona & Miami based brand management house, Liquid Rock Entertainment have together acquired the rights to co-produce 52 11-minute episodes of a new CGI-animated action adventure series, The Secret Explorers.
Liquid Rock’s Roberto Mitrani and Xavi Mas will serve as co-executive producers together with Pixel Zoo’s Paul Gillett and Sebastian Gonzalez who will also serve as showrunners along with Emmy Award®-winning producer and creative Josh Fisher (Netflix, Spin Master, Wildbrain).
Josh Fisher said:
Pixel Zoo and Liquid Rock have put together an amazing team and we have built a show for a global audience that is funny and full of adventure. This series offers kids around the world the chance to see themselves as part of a team that can save the day, anytime, anywhere.
Sebastian Gonzalez, Head of Production at Pixel Zoo, added:
The support from our global distribution and co-production partner Liquid Rock has been incredible. Their commitment has been key in bringing our vision to life, and we can’t wait to share it.
The Secret Explorers follows a diverse group of young adventurer heroes from around the globe who, when alerted about a problem in the world, leap into action, activate their explorer suits, and with teamwork, technology, and a sense of humour, save the day.
The series, geared towards kids aged 4-7, is based on Coolabi’s beloved children’s book series of the same name which has sold more than one million copies globally in English and is set to be released in more than 17 languages.
Roberto Mitrani, Co-Founder of Liquid Rock Entertainment, stated:
With strong media and storytelling foundations, along with MGA’s toy expertise, we believe The Secret Explorers have tremendous potential to engage kids and grow into a dynamic, multi-platform brand. This partnership is a key step for Liquid Rock as we expand our portfolio of globally appealing kids’ content.
With an MGA Studios investment and global toy rights secured, The Secret Explorers is positioned to become a worldwide sensation, with strong foundations in place to captivate audiences and build a lasting global children’s franchise.
