It has been brought to our attention from an Artist nicknamed Fluffy, according to a new statement from Trembley Studios regarding the kid screen advance press release from Toonz Media Group’s interest in NFTs was taken out of context. NFTs have become quite a problem in the Art Community with the rise of Art Thefts, something that we brought up last year. And so has the Guardian.
“Hey Fans,
I would like to bring clarification on the advance press release on Kidscreen.com that came out this morning. The great majority of the press release that we internally approved were unfortunately left out on this morning’s article. It should be corrected on the subsequent ones.
We want to emphasize that the focus is creating the animated series. The NFT mentioned in the press release was taken out of context as part of what Toonz Group does as a media company.
We are sorry for any misunderstandings.“
Christian Tremblay, Tremblay Studios
Original Press Release: It has been Twenty-Eight Years since we have seen the Swat-Kats in action, now it has been confirmed that the Radical Squadron will be making their return. In a new series titled Swat-Kats: Revolution, the duo of Jake “Razor” Clawson and Chance “T-Bone” Furlong, and the rest of MegaKat City are set to return in a new series reboot, the series will be targeted for ages five- to 11-year olds, and will include a slew of new characters alongside the classic protagonists and villains.
According to Animation Magazine’s Mercedes Milligan, The new series will also feature a full futuristic arsenal, including a new jet fighter plane for the heroes, along with other cutting-edge vehicles and gadgets. The action-adventure series aims to bring together top talents from across the world, led by the creative vision of the Tremblay brothers.
“While SWAT-KATS Revolution is a new series, the DNA of what made it successful will remain, The character relationships, the smart and witty writing, the action, the imaginative stories, and the bigger than life villains will evermore be present.
