Zenescope's Kickstarter campaign to bring the GRIMM FAIRY TALES ANIMATED SERIES to life ended on May 1st at 6pm EST and exceeded its goal of $175,000. The project received a total of $188,970 in pledges; making it the 6th highest funded film and video project in Kickstarter's two year history.
The animated series is being directed by Jon Schnepp (Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers) with Titmouse Studios handling the animation. The pilot will begin pre-production immediately and is planned for a late 2012 release. It already boasts an impressive cast of voice talent, artists and animators. More information about who is involved in the series can be seen on the series'
Kickstarter page.
"This is an amazing accomplishment and it really belongs to the fans and friends of Zenescope who got behind this and made it happen." said Zenescope co-founder Ralph Tedesco "We're humbled by and appreciative of everyone's pledges these last 6 weeks and we're ready to start making a kick-ass series for our fans."
Zenescope continues to grow their brand with
action figures based off their characters and a
Wonderland board game. The company also made an announcement earlier this week that Brett Ratner and Rat Entertainment have teamed with Zenescope to bring its comic book series, THE LIBRARY, to the big screen.
