Italian cross-media company Atlantyca Entertainment has secured a distribution deal with China’s CCTV Animation at this year’s Cartoons on the Bay.
The agreement grants Atlantyca with exclusive broadcast and home video distribution rights throughout Europe to the English-language version of The Monkey King (52 x 22-minutes). Based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West, Monkey King is a 3D-animated series combined developed and produced by CCTV Animation. Atlantyca, who opened a field office in Beijing this past January, is among the first European distributors to represent programming from China.
