Taiwan's animated cartoon debuts in U.S.

“Season one of this cartoon series, comprising 13 episodes, will be broadcast on TV channels in 17 states in the U.S.,” said Erica Lee, Manager of International Marketing with BID.

The company, including 70 members of its research and development department, has spent four years and NT$60 million to develop the cartoon.

“KATZ Fun” depicts the story of a mystical tiger named Katz who helps children develop their potential talents, Lee told the Central News Agency.

The characters are lovable and the story teaches positive values, Lee said, adding that she believes these factors were the key to attracting buyers from other countries.

In addition to the U.S., Lee said the company is in the process of reaching a final deal with buyers from Southeast Asia. Some representatives of TV channels from South Africa and Europe have also expressed their interest in the animation, Lee said.

She also revealed that in Zhejiang province, China, the company has started to promote the cartoon as well.

Bright Ideas Design is a digital content development company in Taiwan. It stepped into the field of animated cartoons after cooperating with the National Palace Museum to combine art and humanities with digital technology to show the beauty of art.

In addition to making animations, Lee revealed that the company is building a KATZ Fun amusement park in Zhejiang, China this year, which will include a theme park and movie theater. The amusement park is expected to be a wonderland for the fans of KATZ Fun.
