WOW! Unlimited Media’s Frederator Networks is at the forefront of next-generation kids and youth animation as a vertically-integrated company that consists of Frederator Studios and Frederator Digital.
Frederator Studios, founded in 1998 by serial media entrepreneur and former Hanna-Barbera president Fred Seibert, makes cartoons for television, movies, and the internet. It is currently in production on Season 2 of the international hit series for Netflix, Castlevania, based on the Konami video game. Castlevania Season 1 was acclaimed as the only Rotten Tomatoes’ “Fresh” adaptation of a video game to ever screen and GameSpot’s Best Netflix Exclusive of 2017.
For Amazon, Frederator Studios is producing Costume Quest based on the video game from Double Fine Productions. The series of role playing games comes to life in a colorful cartoon world. Will McRobb, co-creator of The Adventures of Pete & Pete, is showrunner for Costume Quest; executive producers include Seibert, Kevin Kolde and Eric Homan.
Frederator Studio’s Bee and PuppyCat, created by Natasha Allegri, went to series through the most backed Kickstarter campaign for an animated project ever presented and its first season is exclusive to Cartoon Hangover Select. Bravest Warriors is exclusive to Cartoon Hangover Select on VRV in the United States with linear rights through Wow! Unlimited but international rights are available through Corus Entertainment.
Seibert pioneered the concept of incubator series to help discover and foster animation talent. He and the team at Frederator Studios have successfully created several incubator series since the company’s inception including Oh Yeah! Cartoons and Random! Cartoons for Nickelodeon.
Frederator Studios’ latest incubator series, GO! Cartoons, the company’s co-production with Sony Pictures Animation, is just finishing its release on Frederator Digital’s Cartoon Hangover channels.
On its development slate, Frederator Studios has Catlantis, based on the acclaimed children’s book of the same name by Russian author Anna Starobinets. The upcoming cartoon will be story edited by Brydie Lee-Kennedy (The Amazing World of Gumball, Bravest Warriors).
Frederator Studios makes cartoons for television, movies, and the Internet. It was founded by serial media entrepreneur and former Hanna-Barbera president Fred Seibert in 1998 as a unique incubator for big animation ideas by producing original cartoons. More than 250 short films have resulted in 17 hit series for television and the Internet, including Butch Hartman’s The Fairly Odd Parents on Nickelodeon, Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time on Cartoon Network, and Castlevania, based on the Konami video game, for Netflix.
