Three Stooges animated series launching

A new animated series based on the classic Three Stooges comedy act is being put together by kids distributor Cake, Turbo Fast producer Titmouse and Stooges brand owner C3.

The three will be pitching the animated version of the Larry, Moe and Curly Stooges act to potential copro and broadcast partners at the Annecy festival.

It will be a 52x11mins series encapsulating the physical and slapstick humour from the original Three Stooges act and feature films. It will be largely dialogue-free, and Cake will be handling international sales.

Tom van Waveren, CEO, Cake, said: “We see great potential in a refreshed animated approach to this classic and we are looking forward to introducing it to potential partners at the forthcoming festivals.”

Chris Prynoski, president, Titmouse added: “With the cartoon making team we have lined up at Titmouse, it is sure to be the most batty, bananas, insanely giggle-inducing version of the Three Stooges your eyeballs and brainhole have ever experienced.”
