Quest for Zhu and Power of Zhu will debut exclusively on DVD in 2011 and 2012 respectively.

Cepia LLC has teamed up with Los Angeles-based, multi-Emmy and British Academy Award winning production company Moonscoop ( Jakers, Clifford, The Big Red Dog, Chloe’s Closet) and writer Sean Catherine Derek (Smurfs, Spiderman and Mortal Combat) and 3-D animation studio Prana Animation Studios, Inc.

And Chunk!), who explore the Zhu-niverse through adventurous, heartwarming and heroic tales.
