Cartoon Bad Boys Hoota & Snoz to Come To Mobile Phones
Mobile entertainment aggregator Telcogames & production company Blue Rocket create new games & entertainment services for cell phones based on popular cartoon characters.
(PRWEB) February 7, 2005 -- Mobile games distributor and aggregator
Telcogames has today signed an agreement with Australian production company Blue
Rocket, to bring Hoota & Snoz, two of the cartoon world's most badly-behaved
characters to a series of games and entertainment services for mobile
phones.
Three animated series of Hoota & Snoz have been created by
Blue Rocket to date, with further series planned. The shows are broadcast on
some of the world's most popular TV channels in over 100 countries including ABC
and Nickelodeon in Australia, Disney Channel Europe, Disney Channel Asia, Disney
Channel Japan and Nickelodeon in the UK.
Alongside the TV shows, Hoota
& Snoz are also the stars of several popular video games on their own
website. The deal between Telcogames and Blue Rocket will bring these games to
mobile phones worldwide. Games making their way to mobile include:
Hungry
Hoota, Pudding Race, Orchard Run, Boogie Picker (billed as the world's grossest
game, where Hoota must stop sharks eating him by covering them with snot...),
the revolting Hoota's Music Factory, where player's can create and play their
own audio tracks & Snozball, a pinball style game, except it's Hoota &
Snoz who are used as the pinballs.
Telcogames will also be making a range
of other Hoota & Snoz mobile content available, including Wallpapers and
Screen Savers.
David Gurney, the Managing Director of Blue Rocket, said,
“Blue Rocket has been interested in the possibilities offered by mobile phones,
since the first colour phones appeared on the market. In the past we have
created wallpapers, MMS and 3G content with our intellectual property and we've
been very pleased with the results. After the success of the Hoota & Snoz
television shows, we were looking for a way to make the games available to the
hundred plus countries where Hoota & Snoz has been aired. With Telcogames
we've found a partner who can help us produce and distribute games based on
Hoota & Snoz on a global basis.”
Jamie Conyngham, the Chief Executive
Officer of Telcogames, said, “Hoota & Snoz is an incredibly popular series
with kids and adults, all over the world. Their crazy brand of humour and
non-stop rivalry gives them a universal appeal. The games are simple to pick up,
fun to play and suitable for the small screens and keypads found on mobile
handsets. It's an ideal brand to bring to the mobile entertainment sector and we
are delighted to be working with Blue Rocket to bring Hoota & Snoz to an
entirely new medium where it can reach new and existing fans all around the
world.”
The Hoota & Snoz games will be available in Q3 2005 from
leading mobile carriers and retail channels worldwide.
