Julius Jr. a TV Star

Last week Saban Brands announced that an animated television show based on the Paul Frank brand and characters is being developed in partnership with Brain Power Studio. “Julius Jr.” will officially premiere in October at MIP Junior and MarVista Entertainment is said to issue the series on international television channels. President of Saban Brands Elie Dekel says the new series is a way for the brand to expand and reach the preschool market, and that MarVista was a perfect partner in achieving that goal. “MarVista has done a phenomenal job representing Saban Brands’ properties in the international television marketplace, including the Power Rangers franchise which is now aired by top tier broadcasters across the globe, and we look forward to further developing our relationship as we introduce ‘Julius Jr.’ to current and new partners at MIP Junior.” Products based on the television series are currently being developed as well. “‘Julius Jr.’ is an imaginative and engaging series with magical elements that speak directly to the preschool market, and in combination with the high production quality that Saban Brands brings to all of their properties and the global awareness of Julius, we have no doubt that the series will be a hit with our broadcast partners and their viewers,” says CEO of MarVista Entertainment Fernando Szew.
