Spin Master Entertainment, The Kratt Brothers, PorchLight Entertainment

Spin Master Entertainment, a division of Spin Master Ltd., and animation studio Titmouse are partnering to co-develop and produce a new tween animated music TV series The Special Offers.

Created by Titmouse's VP Keith Fay, the series will feature music by Fay and Gina Shock -- yes, you remember her as the drummer of the Go Go's (she has also penned songs for Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Miranda Cosgrove). Fay previously produced the first two seasons of Adult Swim's Metalocalypse, and was also creative producer for in-game cinematics scenes on the last five Guitar Hero video games.

The series follows four music-loving misfit kids that form a band, The Special Offers. Each episode will feature an original song, culminating in a soundtrack release at the end of the season.

We can also look forward to a live tour. Spin Master Entertainment will serve as the global merchandising, licensing agent and toy maker for the property, with Titmouse Entertainment creating the animated series and retaining the global music rights.

Spin Master's Matt Wexler and Jennifer Picherack and Titmouse's Fay and Shannon Prynoski will serve as Executive Producers of the TV series. Schock will serve as a producer and will collaborate on original music with Fay for the series.

The Kratt Brothers head back into the wild in the new animated wildlife adventure/comedy series Wild Kratts (40x22). Targeted to K6-9, Wild Kratts will premiere in January 2011 on PBS Kids Go!, and in Canada on TVOntario, Knowledge Network and Tele-Quebec, and will be showcased next week at the KidScreen Summit in NYC.

Co-produced and distributed by The Kratt Brothers Company and 9 Story Entertainment, the series follows animated versions of real life zoologist brothers Chris and Martin Kratt as they take viewers on adventures where they explore habitats of unusual animals.

In each episode the brothers work to help animals in crisis, often instigated by their nemesis Zach Varmitech and his mission to collect endangered animals. 9 Story Entertainment will distribute the series outside of North America. The Kratt's created and produced Kratt's Creatures, Zoboomafoo and Kratt Brothers: Be The Creature.

PorchLight Entertainment adds the new Flash animated series Agent A to Agent Z (52x11) to its development slate. Created by Andy Rash (author/illustrator) and Dan Yaccarino (author/creator, Oswald, Willa's Wild Life) and based on Rash's kid's book of the same name published by Arthur A.

Levine Books, Agent A to Agent Z is a comedy/mystery that revolves around the misadventures of a father and son (12-yr-old Aaron) spy duo and their secret missions.
