Camp Lakebottom Debuts on iTunes Before Disney XD Airdate: Toronto’s 9 Story Entertainment has made the first episode of its upcoming kids’ animated comedy Camp Lakebottom (26×22′) available on the U.S. iTunes TV store as a free download.

“Making the first episode available on iTunes prior to its Disney XD premiere offers a fantastic opportunity to engage new fans and generate excitement about the series,” said Natalie Osborne, 9 Story’s exec VP of business development. “Kids watch shows in multiple mediums and a pre-air premiere of the first episode on iTunes is a great way to help young audiences discover new content.”
Camp Lakebottom centers on 12-year-old prankster McGee, who was headed for an awesome summer at Camp Sunny Smiles when his bus took a wrong turn and landed him at old, run down and spooky camp instead.
