Galleon Holdings plc has three key divisions:Galleon Entertainment for entertainment type IP,Croco Worldwide for product IP,Phoenix for interactive TV services for broadcasters in China/South East Asia which includes Robot Information Technology (Lushy Assets ('Yunbo')) who are a wireless interactive platform service provider in China who will work alongside Phoenix to enable GON to hold on to a greater part of the generated revenue and so increase the profit margin......think that's the plan! :-)

26th June 2008 Galleon – And Its 'Edgy' Strategy by Tom Bulford

Nicked from the 'Dark Side'


Indiantelevision.com Team

(25 September 2007 3:26 pm)

MUMBAI: Galleon Entertainment, the UK-based intellectual property owner, developer and manager, is taking its all-new repositioned multiplatform animated comedy adventure series, Sokator-442 to Mipcom 2007.

The 26 x half hours animated soccer adventure series is available to international buyers at this year's market for online, mobile and TV broadcast deals, it was announced by Galleon Holdings plc CEO Stephen Green.


"Sokator-442 is poised to become the next soccer YouTube for Kids," said Green. "This is a unique opportunity to create a global online community for children that is safe and teach them about soccer in a fun and engaging way."

Sokator-442 is a multiplatform animated comedy adventure TV series aimed at boys and girls aged 6-11. The show has an online website where kids can upload their soccer skills footage and compare it with other kids from around the globe.

Galleon Holdings plc MD Len Dunne added,"Sokator-442 at its heart has an amazing fantasy that we are bringing to life through an animated TV series combined with a content-rich online site and outreach programme. We have applied our learning from Apollo's Pad, our multiplatform young adult music meets comedy property that we developed with Sony BMG, to Sokator-442 and the results are blowaway."


Sokator-442 (26 x half hours) follows the adventures of a brother and sister from earth who are transported to Sokator-442, a planet where ancient forms of soccer are played and used to settle differences between species. The siblings have to unite a team of alien misfits to compete against the master teams to save their homeland from destruction.

The multiplatform animated property was created by Len Dunne and Stephen Green of Galleon Entertainment. It is being produced by UK-based Zoo Films whose production team's credits include 101 Dalmatians, Family Guy, Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys. The art direction is supervised by Canada-based Copernicus Studios while Bob Thompson of London-based Good Story Productions.

So,next week sees the start of Brands Licensing in London,followed by MIP Junior with the main MIPCOM Trade Show directly afterwards (France-Cannes).

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 :-)

A very interesting 'x' trade just shown up,a very good sign methinks :-)

Wow that's a nice one!

Why thank you,Toya :-)

Should see some steady buying now......famous last words-lol

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!

Another steady away type day which is good to see as we await announcemnts from the trade shows,starting on Tuesday.

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."

Get back up there,thought my GON had gone for a minute! :-)

Nice little up-day :-)

and a little down day as we await news from the three trade shows,Brand Licensing kicked off today.

Apollo's Pad website has been updated today,all coming together ready for Launch on Monday :-)

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.

Still awaiting news from Brand Licensing but plenty of time yet for GON to announce merchandising deals.
