Ubisoft announced a licensing agreement with Nickelodeon to bring a new television series based on Ubisoft's world-renowned Rabbids brand to audiences around the world. As part of the deal, Nickelodeon has secured global broadcast rights (excluding France) for 78 seven-minute, full CG episodes to be produced by Ubisoft, which Nickelodeon will package and air as 26 half-hour episodes across its channels worldwide (excluding France) beginning in 2013.
Created by Ubisoft's French studios in 2006, the wacky, zany Rabbids have won admirers around the globe with their hilarious and silly video games and viral videos that have attracted more than 41 million fans on YouTube. Ubisoft Motion Pictures will work with Ubisoft's French studios to create a television series every bit as hilarious, unexpected and preposterous as the Rabbids games that fans already know and love.
