It seems like a perfect fit. Ubisoft’s cute but crazy Raving Rabbids will be made into an animated TV show. Ubisoft and Aardman announced so much when they issues a statement of “a partnership to create together a pilot and several shorts based on Ubisoft’s popular video game characters”.
Well isn’t that nice.
Miles Bullough, Head of Broadcast at Aardman, says, “When the opportunity arose to work with Ubisoft on the Rabbids we leapt at it, we absolutely love the characters and can’t wait to help bring them to a television audience.”
“The not-so-subtle humor of the Rabbids has made them into icons in and beyond video games,” states Xavier Poix, Managing Director at Ubisoft’s French studios. “Aardman perfectly understands that humor and we are extremely excited to be working with them to bring the Rabbids to a new medium and a new audience.”
Ubisoft and Aardman’s in-house digital agency, Aardman Digital, already worked together on the Raving Rabbids brand by creating the website dedicated to the upcoming video game Raving Rabbids Travel In TimeTM, which launches November 21, 2010 in the US.
