MUMBAI:
Galleon Entertainment, the UK-based intellectual property
owner, developer and manager, will create the first TV series
of its new animated property Apollo's Pad.
According
to Galleon Holdings plc CEO Stephen Green, the first six episodes
will be going into production. The comedy animation series
is being produced by London-based Good Story Productions.
Apollo's
Pad, produced in association with Sony BMG, takes classic
music tracks and by adding humour and animation reaches a
whole new young audience of 16-24 years old.
 Each
episode features two minutes of gag based comedy followed
by an animated music video which features a classic hit re-recorded
to reach a new audience. The first episodes feature the songs
'I'm a believer', the classic Monkees hit, as well as, 'War'
and 'Money.'
The
episodes are set in an animated live music venue, called Apollo's
Pad, where each character is the personification of a music
genre. Each episode follows the adventures of the king of
disco dudes, club manager Hudson and the bunch of music loving
maniacs that work and perform in Apollo's Pad.
In
addition, the launch of Apollo's Pad on apollospad.com, a
website that will provide streaming, premium downloads and
user generated content is set for October 2007.
"There
is a huge demand for short-form entertainment as well as music
video content," said Green. "Apollo's Pad, the perfect
'comedy meets music' animated property offers multiple time
lengths depending on the platform. The series that has the
format of the Muppet show with the humour of the Simpsons,
is certain to be a hit among the viewers."
Apollo's
Pad was created by Green and Galleon Holdings plc MD Len Dunne.
