Amberwood Ent. announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Mattel, Inc. to produce toys and other products based on the 3D animated action-comedy series ROLLBOTS (26x30). The series is in full production and was commissioned by Canada's YTV, a division of Corus Ent. Inc.
In making the announcement, Jonathan Wiseman, VP of Sales & Acquisitions at Amberwood -- a producer, financier and distributor of animated and live-action television series, specials and features -- stated, "We are pleased to have entered into this agreement with Mattel. It demonstrates the appeal of the property and will certainly have a positive effect on the brand."
Based on an original idea by Michael Milligan, ROLLBOTS are perfectly round robots that roll at extreme speeds on roller-coaster type tracks through Flip City, a community that contains 11 different tribes of rollbots.
