INSPIDEA Will Experiment with Young Scientist Series at MIP-TV 2004 (AWN)

Malaysian animation studio INSPIDEA (combining inspiring and ideas) will participate in MIP-TV at stand 13.24 and is bringing Johan, the Young Scientist, a new 26x12 animated series about a child whose inquisitive nature leads him to a great deal of scientific adventures and discoveries.

“Johan, the Young Scientist is designed to boost a child’s awareness about simple scientific ideas in our everyday life,” said Andrew Ooi, head of production & distribution at INSPIDEA.

Due for completion in the third quarter of 2004, the story follows Johan, an enthusiastic six year old, as he explores ScienScape, a wildly colorful and futuristic reality contained only in “The Amazing Book Of Science.”

Helping Johan as he seeks the answers to his scientific curiosities are best friends Ani, Moki, Ranger Bob and Professor Hoo. Together they will discover how their world is inter-related to science and how science affects their everyday lives.

Johan was an official selection at Barcelona International TV Festival in November2003. “We feel extremely honored to be accepted and featured at Barcelona International TV Festival, more so, next to other more establishedand well known TV properties such as Teletubbies and Benjamin,” added Andrew Ooi.

Already pre-sold to several TV channels, INSPIDEA hopes to finalize more broadcasting arrangements in other countries such as France and Canada at the upcoming MIP-TV.
