Skunk Fu is being shown in USA,UK and Australia with airings in the rest of Europe and most of world over the next few months.There is still the second series of 26 episodes which I believe are already completed and ready for airing!
My view is that Brands will produce major contracts for Skunk Fu merchandise-dyor

The article above (post 721) although not official does clearly state that production is underway opposed to awaiting further backing-"It is being produced by UK-based Zoo Films"
I would expect news/updates during and after the three trade shows relating to Sokator-442 being aired around the world along with deals done relating to other 'platforms' as this is a 360' IP!

Apollo's Pad project is another 360' IP which is being launched on the 8th October,the same day as the main MIPCOM event!
Obviously there will be news from GON as we near launch date and I would imagine during/after the Trade Shows is a fair bet.
All in my humbly opinion so do your own research
All good fun :-)

Ohhhh and I nearly forgot Mysti!
GON received 265k up-front payment from Cutstone Feature Productions with a further 500k once in production with GON also picking up 15% of net profits......which is nice! Still a bit to go with this one but there will be murchandising opportunities too!

Can't wait - been keeping my eye on this one and appreciate your twanging away at your daily updates, Banjomick! We might not get immediate feedback from the trade shows, but they're sure to sign up some deals quite soon thereafter.

Evening Toya,
Very true regarding feedback and time.
I'm in the opinion that GON have been in talks relating to Skunk Fu and merchandising at least for the UK market and if so announcements of done deals would be announced within or just after the Shows but only a guess really.
One thing is for sure the SP will react one way or t'other depending on announcements and size of deals.

A bit of a repeat but it's good that the word is spreading :-)
"Galleon Entertainment will showcase its newly repositioned multiplatform animated comedy/adventure series Sokator-422 (26x30 min) at MIPCOM 2007. Targeted to K6-11, the series revolves around a brother and sister earthlings, who arrive on the planet Sokator-442, where ancient forms of soccer are played and used to settle differences. The two pull together a soccer team of alien misfits to vie against the master teams to protect their world. The series also has a corresponding interactive website where kids can share soccer skills footage. Created by Galleon's Managing Director, Len Dunne and CEO, Stephen Green, Sokator-422 is produced by Zoo Films, with art direction overseen by Copernicus Studios and story edited by Bob Thompson of Good Story Productions."

Taken from the Results dated 25th January 2007:
Apollo's Pad
Apollo's Pad is the first example of a successful application of our skills to
this new way of thinking. The consumer most affected by convergence is the 16-24
year old. They have a voracious appetite for music, comedy and other
entertainment that can be snacked across multiple platforms. Apollo's Pad is
effectively a business that takes your all-time favourite music and, by applying
the latest in animation and comedy, delivers these great tracks to today's
multimedia consumer as branded entertainment across all channels and platforms:
online, TV, radio, mobile and retail. It was critical that in development we not
only created the content but also the web portal that will allow consumers to
access this content on a global basis. As a business it allows traditional TV
partners to participate in the brand on a regional basis, but is not dependent
on them as means of accessing the consumer. This means that we can launch
Apollo's Pad directly to the global online music market, benefiting from
direct-to-consumer revenue streams from day one of launch. This direct dialogue
also allows our consumers to directly participate in the creating and shaping of
the content that they consume. This integrated two-way dialogue allows us to
constantly be in touch with our audience and effectively create 'Organic
Content' that evolves according to their needs.
This new business model has already resulted in a global deal with Sony BMG who
will be our music partner providing access to music rights and catalogue as well
as the best artists and producers. Sony BMG will also be our partner in the
sales and marketing of the music videos we create on a global basis.
Conversations with TV, mobile and online partners are continuing on a territory
basis. The first content will be launched in quarter four 2007.
