Northgate González Market Partners With Wilmer Valderrama To Develop Exclusive Dia De Los Muertos Digital Premier of New Animated Series.
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) October 15, 2014 -- As part of their ongoing effort to celebrate the traditions and cultures of their customers, premier Hispanic grocery chain, Northgate González Market, is supporting the “Dia De Los Muertos” holiday celebration by offering their consumers a first look at the animated series “Muertoons”. Customers can purchase select products and unlock two episodes of the Animated series “Muertoons”, produced by Wilmer Valderrama, exclusively at Northgate González Market and Los Altos Ranch Market.
The Muertoons animated series is a touching tale of five friends in a world apart and centers around the Mexican Holiday and celebration, “Dia De Los Muertos.” The series is Produced by Wilmer Valderrama, who is also a voice in the series. MUERTOONS also stars Alexa PenaVega of the SPY KIDS™ franchise and is collaborating with Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl), one of the most acclaimed and prolific film composers of this generation, on the music for the series.
“Muertoons is a universal story for the entire family that fills the void of Latino community representation with content that is designed to be shared by families across generations”. Said Wilmer Valderrama. “Today is not about forcing audiences to tune in to a specific time or place, but rather allowing them to opt in wherever they are. We are excited to make Muertoons available at the universal family meeting place: grocery. We are blessed that Northgate Gonzalez Market shares our vision”.
