October 23, 2008 by Gary Rusak

Animation Collective’s new animated comedy series Jolly Rabbit is hopping into the UK and Australia.

The 52 x 11-minute series has been picked up by the BBC in the UK for broadcast on CBBC and ABC TV in Australia, in addition to being recently acquired by Canal + Family in France.

The boy-skewing series, featuring a band of punk rocker-types who head to sea in search of Jolly’s missing leg will be accompanied by an interactive website complete with games, activities, and exclusive content. With music as a key component, Animation Collective expects to release videos, albums and individual tracks through online retailers and on other platforms in the near future.
