Based on characters derived from the Chinese hit series GG BOND, the 104 x 11-minute series introduces the team of interstellar super-swines of the Universal Hero League that includes Glorious P.I.G., Pigcasso, Hampton, Hamgelina and LaPuerca aka the KUNG FU PORK CHOPPERS, who battle fun and funny foes for the all-powerful “Splaxis” — the one slime to rule them all!
“This is a very PIG deal”, says Al Kahn, Founder and CEO of Crane Kahn and the mastermind behind the mega licensing phenomena of POKEMON, YU-GI-OH!, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES and CABBAGE PATCH KIDS. “We completely redid the series to build a show and a universal brand with global appeal aimed at boys 4-8. The mix of martial arts and out-of-the-world gimmicks and gadgets mirror a proven play pattern to create a world that kids will relish and have lucky licensees laughing all the way to the piggy bank”.
