Toonz Media Group, a global animation leader, has teamed up with New-Gen Universe in a strategic partnership to bring to life a high-octane new animated series,  ‘Nanobot Heroes’. The project reimagines the original Marvel-distributed comic book franchise as a cinematic 3D CGI experience, aiming to push the boundaries of animated storytelling.

The announcement was made yesterday via a joint press release from the studios, detailing a 13-episode first season that will showcase the futuristic nanotech universe originally conceived by J.D. Matonti, Chris Matonti, and Julia Coppola.

Toonz Media Group CEO P. Jayakumar noted, “At Toonz, we are always seeking original, imaginative worlds to bring to life, and New Gen is a perfect match. The fusion of cutting-edge storytelling, dynamic characters, and rich visual landscapes aligns perfectly with our passion for innovation in animation.”

J.D. Matonti, Series Director and Executive Producer shared, “Toonz is the ideal animation strategic partner to create the unprecedented 3D CGI animation style, bringing the rich New-Gen storyworld to life.  Global audiences will be captivated by ‘Nanobot Heroes’: humans, creatures and robots as they adventure to futuristic utopia, Earth and different alien planets.  Ketchup is the consummate domestic distribution partner for capturing generations of fans, young and old.”

Toonz Media Group will finance, produce, and distribute the series globally, leveraging its extensive track record in animated and transmedia content.

Ketchup Entertainment, following its recent success with ‘The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’, will handle domestic distribution.

A powerhouse voice cast brings the world of New Gen to life, featuring iconic talents like Finn Wolfhard (‘Stranger Things’), Nick Wolfhard (‘Fire Emblem’), Anya Chalotra (‘The Witcher’), Luke Wilson (‘Stargirl’), Henry Rollins (‘The Legend of Korra’), Lena Headey (‘Game of Thrones’), Taylor Gray (‘Star Wars Rebels’), Molly Fahey (‘Grand Theft Auto V’) and Tony Oliver (‘Lupin the III’).

With Toonz Media Group helming global financing, production, and distribution, and Ketchup Entertainment handling domestic distribution in the US, New-Gen ‘Nanobot Heroes’ is being positioned as a flagship animated sci-fi offering.
