Tuttles gets iParenting Media Award

The Tuttles Family Game we produced for Starlight Starbright along with Legacy Interactive just won an Excellent Product Award in the 2008 iParenting Media Awards. We were also involved in another iParenting Media Award winning product, but we have to keep that a secret.

Animax "in" TV Guide

It was recently brought to our attention that Animax Entertainment has had a 6 Degrees of Separation kind of relationship with TV Guide. The Ashley Tisdale front page online video is only the most recent example.

Then a bunch of Dave Thomas, our Executive Creative Director, as well. Even some available for sale on ebay and here !

Tisdale Nose Tuttles

Animax is on the front page of TVGuide.com. Actually a funny viral video we produced for Starlight to support the launch of the Tuttles Family Game for Charity. If you've ever wanted to see Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical shriek and squeal - here's your chance as she records voiceover for the new game we helped create and write. It's pretty funny. And yeah - we said nose instead of knows - Tisdale recently got a nose job. Yeah, we're in the know.

Over this past year, we've produced a bunch of viral videos, a mix of animation and live-action - for Kodak (which now is a TV series in Canada), for Ty, for Animax and now for Starlight.

Tuttles Charity Game Goes Live!

Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation, Legacy Interactive and Animax Entertainment today launched The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures: Starlight Starbright Charity Challenge (www.tuttlesfamilygame.com), a casual platformer style downloadable videogame that pairs having a good time with doing good.
