Agarra tu Celular! Airborne Entertainment Brings Spanish Animated Satire Huevocartoon to Mobile
Deal Further Expands Airborne's Growing Mobile Hispanic Content
Offering
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--In a move to further expand its growing Hispanic content offering,
Airborne Entertainment today announced the inking of a licensing deal
with Al Ovadia & Associates, Inc. to bring Huevocartoon, the popular
Spanish-language animated satire, to mobile.
Huevocartoon, a series of web-based, flash-animated comedic shorts
starring a group of outspoken eggs who partake in satires of cultural
and social aspects of life, was launched in Mexico in 2002. Since
then, Huevocartoon has built a massive worldwide fan base of over 100
million people, and has spun off countless projects including an
animated film and a full line of merchandise. Airborne's mobile suite
of products will include wallpapers, ringtones, video content and
more, featuring popular Huevocartoon characters like Huevo Santa,
Osama Bin Huevo, Los Huevos Rancheros, Huevo Zen and others.
"The Huevocartoon deal hits our sweet spot in two ways," said
Airborne Entertainment VP Product Kim Senn. "On one hand, it maintains
our pioneer position in mobile humor that ranges from powerhouses like
Family Guy to hot newcomers like Bitchin' Kitchen. On the other hand,
it adds to our burgeoning array of Hispanic content, including graphic
offerings like Palitos Locos, Dia de Los Muertos, Skulls and
Chupacabras, and audio content from top Latin labels like J&N Records,
MP Records and Reggaeton Nation. Pardon the pun, but Huevocartoon has
the potential to crack both markets big time."
"All it took was one meeting with the Airborne Entertainment team
to know that they are the perfect partner for bringing a well-known
satirical property like Huevocartoon to mobile," said Al Ovadia,
President of Al Ovadia & Associates, Inc. "They are far and away one
of the pioneers in this space of mobile humor. Huevocartoon has
unlimited potential in the mobile arena and as new handsets launch
with expanded video capabilities even more consumers will be able to
experience the well-known property first hand," added Ovadia.
The Huevocartoon mobile suite of content will be available on
North American carriers in the new year.
