The Malaysia-based Animasia Studio is fairly new to the kids’ arena, having been established in 2005. Accordingly, Edmund Chan, the managing director, says his ultimate goal is to create more sales and greater awareness for Animasia’s stable of brands around the world. This includes ABC Monsters, which features 26 cuddly creatures, each of whom represents a different letter of the alphabet. The movie Balla Bowl is about a young boy who eats, sleeps and dreams cricket.There are also Chuck Chicken, available for presales, and Harry & Bunny and My Ugly Little Brother, both in development. “These programs are produced in high-end 2D Flash and have extremely unique and stand-out character designs,” says Chan. “These shows are animated by our core animation team based in Malaysia and China and scripted by our team of experienced writers based in Malaysia, the U.K., Spain, the U.S. and India.”
“ Most of our
My Ugly Little Brother
programs will be developed for multiplatform, starting with TV series followed by online and mobile application support.
