As part of their mammoth original content deal with Netflix, DreamWorks Animation officially announced three new series currently in production that will debut in late 2014.
DreamWorks Animation’s new animated series Turbo FAST has premiered on Netflix. In its debut this week, five initial episodes have been made available for instant streaming. More episodes will be added weekly.
It feels like only yesterday I was seeing the first previews for DreamWorks’ Turbo, but the film about a snail who dreams of being a racer that debuted this summer has already leant itself to a spinoff cartoon series to premiere this month. The show, titled Turbo FAST, will premiere on Netflix as their first original series for kids and will likely be a hit with very young children. I found the movie to be a predictable rehashing of far better scripts, but there were some moments and characters enjoyable to watch.
DreamWorks Animation announced today that a brand new Rocky & Bullwinkle short film will be released in 2014, to coincide with the theatrical release of Mr. Peabody & Sherman, the much-anticipated 3D animated film hitting theaters next March.
DreamWorks Animation is continuing its recent string of content acquisitions by taking on the Chapman Entertainment Library, which includes pre-school-aimed fare such as Roary the Racing Car, Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, Fifi and the Flowertots, and Little Charley Bear.
DreamWorks Animation is building up their TV animation business in a big way. This week, DreamWorks announced that Marjorie Cohn will be the new head of its TV division. Cohn has worked for Nickelodeon for the last 26 years, helping to build it into the kids’ programming powerhouse that it is today.
