Hulu Developing Three New Dreamworks Animated Series MADAGASCAR: A LITTLE WILD; TROLLSTOPIA; And THE MIGHTY ONES
Hulu is developing three new animated series in partnership with Dreamworks, including Madagascar: A Little Wild, TrollsTopia, and The Mighty Ones. The Madagascar series will follow the beloved characters from the films in a prequel series that tells the story of their childhoods at the Central Park Zoo. TrollsTopia is a series based on the Trolls film, as well as its upcoming sequel, Trolls World Tour opening on April 17, 2020. The Mighty Ones is an original series based on a backyard that comes alive and the creatures who inhabit it.
Here are the series descriptions courtesy of Deadline:
Madagascar: A Little Wild features the lovable foursome Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo. Capturing the iconic personalities of each of the four dynamos, Madagascar: A Little Wild showcases the team as kids residing in their rescue habitat at the Central Park Zoo. They might be small, but like everybody who lands in New York City, these little guys have big dreams and Madagascar: A Little Wild will follow all of their adventures. The series is executive produced by Johanna Stein (Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny).
TrollsTopia will be a new original based off DWA’s famous Trolls franchise following Poppy and other enchanting characters from the upcoming feature film Trolls World Tour. Matthew Beans will executive produce.
The Mighty Ones centers around the premise that in every backyard, a secret world exists filled with tiny creatures. The Mighty Ones, follows the hilarious adventures of a group of creatures: a twig, a pebble, a leaf and a strawberry. These best friends, self-named The Mighty Ones, live in an unkempt backyard belonging to a trio of equally unkempt humans whom they mistake for gods. Despite their diminutive stature, The Mighty Ones are determined to live life large and always have fun in their wild world. The series is executive produced by Sunil Hall (Pickle and Peanut) and Lynne Naylor-Reccardi (Samurai Jack).
All three series are set to premiere on Hulu later this year, so keep an eye out. We will let you know as soon as we have dates and trailers. Which of these series are you or your kids most excited about?
