TORONTO, ON, CANADA
Canadian-based COMET ENTERTAINMENT INC., an animation production and content development group, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Spanish-based FANCIFUL ARTS ANIMATION, SL. to co-produce the animated feature film "Santa VS Claus".
SYNOPSIS: Christmas is in trouble. Santa, who has been bitten by the Fame Bug, is now magically split from Claus, his conscience and Christmas Spirit. 'Fun, fun, fun' seems to be Santa's new purpose in life. Into this volatile situation strides Vladimir Dragonoff � owner of VLADEX � who is chosen by Santa to let him and his package delivery company take over the giving out of presents on Christmas Eve. Vladimir has, of course, far greater plans than that: he wants nothing less than to ruin Christmas for everyone..
"The show that calls for a high quality traditional animation style is an adventurous show with lots of humour, and our response from the children has been amazing!" says Comet Entertainment Inc. CEO Raquel Ben�tez.
We are avoiding the 'just another Christmas special' tag on this film. It must stand up on it's own, with or without the benefit of the commercial value of the character of Santa Claus� Says FANCIFUL ARTS ANIMATION managing director Chris Doyle.
Comet Entertainment Inc. is currently in production on the much anticipated prime time series "Sculpture Club".
