Vancouver-based animation studio Slap Happy Cartoons has inked a development deal with Corus Entertainment’s YTV for the 52 x 11-minute Nerds and Monsters comedy series targeting tweens.
The series features the adventures of a group of nerdy high school kids who become castaways on an uncharted island inhabited by a tribe of monsters.
The announcement comes on the heels of a recent deal between Slap Happy and Vancouver Canucks Sports & Entertainment to revitalize the hockey team’s mascot through a series of digital shorts.
