Rising Animation Studio Provides Creative Expertise to F3 Entertainment

LOS ANGELES, CA (June 10, 2002) – ANIMAX Interactive, a leading digital animation studio, has teamed up with acclaimed entertainer Dave Coulier (TVs Full House" and Americas Funniest People") and F3 Entertainment to bring the Weaver Beaver and Friends" audio CD series to life. ANIMAX designed and developed the animation and multimedia website to support the release of two new kids audio CDs featuring Dave Coulier with Weaver Beaver and Friends." The CDs will be in select stores June 14, 2002. The animation will be available on the same date at www.weaverbeaver.com.

Collaborating with ANIMAX has turned out to be one of those rare, working relationships that is so uncommon in todays entertainment industry," said F3s Coulier. I found the entire staff at ANIMAX to be versatile, friendly, and extremely helpful in the creative process—exercising the utmost in professionalism. They completed a very complex, multi-layered project for us on time and within our projected budget. The final product exceeded even our highest expectations. All of us at F3 feel that this is a great start to a long-term relationship with our new friends at ANIMAX."

ANIMAX was significantly involved in the production process – including everything from initial character development to the jacket design used on both CDs. The studio worked closely with Coulier to help develop and animate the more than 15 furry forest characters that Coulier voices on the CDs, in the videos and on the website. Both Weaver Beaver and Friends" CDs are kid and parent friendly musical storybooks featuring a forest full of crazy critters who sing and laugh their way through a charming assortment of original and memorable songs and comedy sketches. In addition to Weaver Beaver, other creatures ANIMAX developed include the eternally lost Wally Wherewolf and a pop star skunk aptly named Stink. Using this collection of characters, the growing animation studio conceptualized and animated Internet and broadcast quality versions of a music video.

ANIMAX further contributed to the project by designing and developing a dynamic website (www.weaverbeaver.com) which contains additional content including interactive games, a downloadable coloring book, background information about the CDs and its creators, and ecommerce functionality. ANIMAX also created the electronic press kit, online rich media advertisements and point-of-purchase marketing materials.

Written and produced by Dave Coulier, the first two CDs, The Story of the Forest National Anthem" and Songs in the Key of Beaver," will be released June 14, 2002. As part of a new distribution agreement, both CDs, are being sold exclusively at Walgreens, Eckerd Drugs and online at Amazon.com and at www.weaverbeaver.com.

ANIMAX has already begun developing additional animation for a Weaver Beaver" direct-to-video feature with a targeted release of Christmas of 2002. The company will also be developing additional interactive content for www.weaverbeaver.com and future CD-ROM products.
