Playback magazine, who call themselves “Canada’s production, broadcasting & interactive media journal,” recently posted an article about the Flash-animated show ‘Total Drama Island.’ CHF has been keeping tabs on this project with a few posts of our own, and now we have a little more news – the show has been picked up for 30 episodes and it’s due out ‘sometime in 2007.’ Okay, that’s not really anything more than we knew before, but the article does have a shout-out to Todd Kaufman and Mark Thornton (Neptoon Studios), who will be directing. Todd and Mark were first mentioned here back in 2005 regarding the Nicktoons Film Festival.

The show is being distributed by Zoom in North America and Cake Distribution is handling the rest.

Head over the Fresh Animation website to watch the promo.
