Imagine Kids+Family has partnered with Lion Forge Animation, the studio behind the Oscar-winning animated short film Hair Love, on a first look deal to create short form content, TV series and other digital content. Starting with Chippy Hood, Puerto Rico Strong and Black Comic Anthology, among others, the companies have formed an exclusive first-look partnership around the animation company’s existing IP of both licensed and original ideas.
Chippy Hood is an animated series, created in partnership with South Korean animation studio Mostapes, for preschool aged kids set in a magical place where four little chipmunks, Chippy, Kong, LaLa and BamBam, look for opportunities to add fun events into their daily lives.
Puerto Rico Strong is and animated anthology series based on the book of the same name that was created by the those who came together after Puerto Rico faced devastation from Hurricane Maria. Many within the Latinx community stepped forward to share their stories, both fictional and personal, that spoke of the culture, history, and strength of the Puerto Rican community. And Puerto Rico Strong explores what it means to be Puerto Rican and the diversity that exists within that concept, from today’s most exciting Puerto Rican comics creators.
Productions will be executive produced by Imagine Kids+Family president Stephanie Sperber and Lion Forge Animation president Carl Reed and founder David Steward II.
