marblemedia today announced the development of a new animated series based on the popular R.L. Stine children’s book Gnasty Gnomes. Aimed at kids 6-9, the property will be introduces to buyers at next’s week’s MIPCOM market in Cannes.
Gnasty Gnomes chronicles the humorous adventures of 8-year-old Wort, his older sister, Juny, and their family of foul, revolting and, above all, ‘gnasty’ Gnomes. Each week, our unlikely heroes and Wort’s pet rat, Catfood, find new and nauseating ways to save their family and friends from being turned into ceramic lawn ornaments by the perfectly refined (and perfectly evil) Gardners.
