DQ Entertainment is pleased to announce that it has been engaged by Wild Canary, USA for the overseas animation of "Miles From Tomorrowland" - a new CGI HD 24 episode kids' animated space adventure series which it is producing in association with Disney Jr. DQ Entertainment will earn low multimillion US$'s in revenue from this contract beginning in the current financial year.

The series charts the missions of the Calisto family - 7 year old Miles, big sister Loretta and their scientific parents, Phoebe and Leo, who work for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Each episode will feature two 11-minute stories exploring new worlds whilst taking young viewers on a journey that fuels kids' natural interest in the universe, early math, language skills and emphasizes the importance of relationships between family members.

Richard Marlis President and Co-Founder at Wild Canary Animation, Inc said "when my partner Carmen Italia and I opened Wild Canary over 6 years ago, we envisioned becoming a global company. We could not have a better partner than DQ Entertainment to move forward with this new venture. DQ Entertainment's structure and parallel CGI pipeline to ours was an important ingredient in choosing an overseas animation partner. Tapaas and his staff embraced Miles and delivered a great pilot. We look forward to a long standing relationship with them, both for this series and future projects."

 

Tapaas Chakravarti, Founder & CEO of DQE group said "We are thrilled to embark on production of this exciting new Disney series with Wild Canary, USA.
