Employing motion-capture CG animation created by Weta Workshop, Jane and the Dragon is set in the ninth-century English kingdom of Kippernium, where 12-year-old Jane Turnkey seeks to buck convention by becoming a brave knight. When she rescues Prince Cuthbert from a not-so-ferocious dragon, she’s granted special permission to begin training as a knight’s apprentice with the gentle, wisecracking dragon by her side. Based on a series of children’s books by Martin Baynton, the show will arrive on DVD in a compilation titled Jane and the Dragon: A Dragon’s Tail.
Experts in everything gross, friends and siblings Ty and Abby Archer confront the world’s grossest villains in Grossology: The Perfect Stink. The 2D-animated series is based on the book Grossology by Sylvia Branzei and follows the crime-solving brother and sister team who report to the government’s secret Department of Grossology.
Ruby Gloom: Grounded in Gloomsville will offer four stories revolving around the happiest girl in the world and her offbeat circle of friends. The series is based on a licensing property owned by Mighty Fine, and produced by Nelvana in association with YTV.
The legendary Di-Gata Defenders star in Di-Gata Defenders: Trouble in Paradise. With the help of powerful Guardian creatures, the young defenders must learn to harness the energy of the Di-Gata stones before evil villains unlock the Megalith and trigger chaos throughout the realm. Created by Greg Collinson, the show is a Nelvana Limited/LuxAnimation co-production in association with TELETOON Canada Inc.
