Variety on Animax & Popzilla

Lots of new news for Animax today.

Variety, the entertainment industry trade magazine, profiled Animax Entertainment and our upcoming TV show for MTV, Popzilla. The article highlights how animated shows like Popzilla and South Park are able to turn around episodes very quickly to keep them topical. On Popzilla we're using Flash animation and a proprietary all digital production pipeline in order to keep the animated sketch comedy show very topical. When a celebrity goes astray, Popzilla will be all over it in that week's episode.

Read the Variety article for the full scoop and become a Facebook friend of Popzilla.

Animax Busts a Gut Over K-Fed

K-Fed has been in the news (dlisted) lately for being a little overweight. Okay, let's just say it. He's gotten pretty chubby. No, let's tell it like it is, he's corpulent. Well, the skinny on K-Fed is that he's not so skinny. Basically, he's a fat slob. At least MTV's Popzilla thinks so. And Britney Spears. And probably even Kevin Federline himself. And yes, Animax Entertainment thinks so too since we are animating Popzilla for MTV.

Google PopzillaMTV and you'll find a lot stuff bubbling about the upcoming TV show on the net.

CHF covers the Max

ColdHardFlash generated some digital press pixels about Animax, MTV & Popzilla and Bob & Doug today.

Producing Popzilla for MTV

While Bob & Doug McKenzie continues to do well on Global TV in Canada, Animax Entertainment is in the thick of animating Popzilla for MTV. The Flash animated sketch comedy show that skewers celebrities has been cranking with new bits added to the production pipeline every time a celeb does something dumb. We just hope that more of them stay alive so that we can (tactfully) make fun of them. RIP Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon.

MTV Announces Popzilla

MTV just announced Animax's Popzilla as part of it's upcoming slate of shows. As per the release: "The network's 2009 programming slate continues to reflect a directional shift geared toward the millennial generation, with shows that are aspirational, escapist and optimistic."
