Animasia Studio (Malaysia) and Pilla-Scheetz Productions (USA) have entered into a Co-production agreement to develop 2D animated concept Nine Lives of Claw into a multiplatform brand covering animated series, mobile games, and toy line merchandises. Development work has started with the appointment of Jay Lender (SpongeBob SquarePants, Phineas & Ferb) and the producers plan to showcase the pilot episode in MIP Junior 2017.
“This co-production will create great synergies between both parties to contribute their expertise in content development and distribution, and we are extremely happy to have Pilla-Scheetz Productions (PSP) and Jay Lender coming on board for the project.” said Edmund Chan, Managing Director of Animasia Studio. The Nine Lives of Claw follows the hilarious adventures of the sarcastic superhero cat; Claw, his genius albeit high-strung mouse sidekick; Edison, and the always ambitious kitty; Purrfessor Purrnelope as they battle the sinister MUTT (Malicious Unleashed Thugs and Thieves) and a slew of other villains to keep things in order in the fair city of Anonymous.
