Already in its third season on Cartoon Network UK, Canadian kids will soon get their own version of live-action/animation hybrid game show Skatoony, as prodco marblemedia has picked up the North American format rights.
The series pits real kids against cartoon characters, and marblemedia will go into production this coming spring, shooting two sets of 13 x half-hour eps, one in English and the other in French for Teletoon Canada. The net has commissioned the series, which targets kids eight to 12, and is set for a spring 2010 premiere.
marblemedia is also working on an interactive site for the series and its characters, where kids can test their quiz skills at anytime.
