Nelvana, a world-leading international producer, distributor, and licensor of children’s animated and live action content, and Toikido, an innovative London based entertainment company specializing in digital design and toys, announce the highly anticipated greenlight of Piñata Smashlings™, a new 2D animated children’s series (26×11). The series is available for international sale and already has confirmed placement with YTV in Canada. This comedic adventure, tailored for kids age six to nine, complements previously unveiled Piñata Smashlings™ shorts currently streaming on Nelvana’s ‘Keep It Weird’ YouTube channel, with more shorts to launch soon.

Inspired by the immensely popular Roblox game, with a staggering ‘like’ rating of over 97 percent, the series will showcase characters from the game, each possessing unique personalities.

In Piñata Smashlings™ we meet four friends who have been thrown together by fate to form a team of very, very unlikely heroes. Whether questing across the land unlocking maps or collecting fruities and power ups, these Smashlings are out to save the Piñataverse from the evil Bashlings and level up on fun along the way. Packed with over-the-top Roblox shenanigans, fast-paced comedy, and hilarious hijinks, every episode is a burst of excitement.

“Piñata Smashlings™ is such a unique brand and we’re excited to kickstart production on the TV series, diving deeper into the Piñataverse” said Mellany Welsh, VP of Nelvana Enterprises & Kids Can Press. “With multiple touchpoints through the successful Roblox game, toy and merchandise line, brand partnerships and animated shorts, the new series will broaden the fan experience and add a new way for kids to discover and engage with the brand worldwide.”
