Battalor targets 6-10 year old audience with the toy-inspired action-comedy series.
Jellyfish Originals, the kids and family content division of award-winning global animation and VFX studio Jellyfish Pictures, has announced it has entered into a co-production agreement with creative toy led gaming studio, Toikido, on a brand new kids’ property, Battalor.
Battalor is a futuristic, high-voltage action-comedy series that charts the adventures of three unlikely kid-heroes who unite to save Velo City, and master the battling powers of the Battalors after the metropolis is invaded by an omnipotent evil.
The CG animated series is inspired by a premium performance-based action battling toy created by Toikido and is developed for TV and written by two times Emmy-nominated writer, Jordan Gershowitz (Hot Wheels Let’s Race (2024), The Twisted Timeline of Sammy & Raj (2023), The Tom and Jerry Show (2011), The Snoopy Show (2021), Sharkdog (2021). Jellyfish Originals is providing script to screen production services whilst also managing the global distribution rights. Toikido will spearhead the global licensing programme and gaming development.
Jellyfish is delighted to be collaborating with Toikido and Jordan Gershowitz on this toy-driven property and I’m excited to present Battalor to the international market. Together we’ve consciously crafted an ambitious universe which is a sandbox for high-stake storytelling, sticky play patterns and characters that our audience will emotionally invest in.
