and we couldn't ask for a better broadcast home in the U.S. than Cartoon Network. We're longtime fans of their programming, and we look forward to bringing the gang from Monstories to the network.

We love this property. It's funny and irreverent and is a great fit with the tone of the network. We are very excited about putting it on the air.

Monstories contain the adventures of two mischievous monsters, Max and Mel, with an eclectic cast of "monster actors." Independent of dialogue, Monstories transcend language barriers with global appeal and timeless humor. Presented in colorful one-minute shorts featuring quality computer graphics, hand-drawn animation techniques and original gypsy music scores, the original five Monstories episodes are well traveled in the festival circuit, from France (Annecy) to China (Cicdaf) to Brazil (AnimaMundi). Recent awards include "Best TV Series" from Cineme (Chicago) and the "Audience Grand Jury" prize at Glitchfast (Montreal).
