Toronto, Canada – August 2, 2011 – 9 Story Entertainment announces sales of its animated comedy series Almost Naked Animals (40 x 22 min) to Disney Channel Italy, Disney Channel India, Disney Channel Latin America, Luk International for Spain & Portugal and NPO’s children’s channel Z@pp/Zeppelin in the Netherlands.
The series, which is both produced and distributed by 9 Story, launched on YTV Canada in January, on CiTV in the UK in April, ABC Australia in May and had its US premiere on Cartoon Network in June. Almost Naked Animals will also be seen on Canal+ France and Super RTL Germany this fall.
Almost Naked Animals is a joyously irreverent animated comedy series, featuring an oddly lovable assortment of free-spirited animals in their underwear, who run a beach-front hotel like kids at a summer camp – doing their best to make each day more crazy than the last. Lead dog and hotel manager Howie, who has the attention span of a 11 year old in a video arcade, heads the dysfunctional but extremely funny ensemble cast.
