Cannes/Singapore – Sparky Animation in conjunction with Japan’s Duckbill Entertainment, Baku Enterprise Inc. and Bandai Visual Inc., is producing a new CGI animated television programme based on the best-selling Japanese book series, One Stormy Night. The deal represents Singapore’s first animation co-production with three Japanese partners and comes on the heels of Sparky Animation’s recent co-productions with US-based The Jim Henson Company on Dinosaur Train; and with Skaramoosh (UK) and Title Entertainment (Canada) on Mr. Moon. Through an unlikely friendship between a goat and a wolf, the programme is a heartwarming children’s story that explores themes about acceptance and loyalty despite differences. One Stormy Night (52 x 11) is slated to premiere on Tokyo TV in April 2012 and will be directed by the popular anime veteran, Amino Tetsurou (Gundam Wing, Macross 7). The 2005 animated film version attracted more than 1.2 million movie-goers.
