Playback Mag on Total Drama Island

posted by aaron, 5.10 PM

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.

Back in February, you might have spotted a post here about ‘Camp TV,’ a new Flash-animated series from the creators of ‘6teen.’ The project has officially borne fruit, and they’ve also got a new title - ‘Total Drama Island.’

The talented folks at Neptoon Studios, which is headed up by Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton, recently posted a link to their animated promo.

With artists like Jared Deal and Joel Trussell on board, it’s no wonder this thing looks and moves so well.
