Sydney, Australia \u2013 October 6, 2010 \u2013 Today Ubisoft and Aardman announced a partnership to create together a pilot and several shorts based on Ubisoft\u2019s popular video game characters, the Rabbids.<\/p>\n

Created by Ubisoft, one of the world\u2019s leading video game creators in 2006, the Rabbids have transcended video games, inspiring a series of viral videos on the Internet, plush toys and even award-winning ads for world-renowned brands like Renault and Coca-Cola. For Aardman, ground-breaking creators of television and film properties such as Shaun the Sheep and Wallace and Gromit, the project represents a rare foray into applying their creative talents to a licensed property. The animated pilot will be produced jointly by Ubisoft and Aardman (http:\/\/www.aardman.com\/).<\/p>\n

Miles Bullough, Head of Broadcast at Aardman, says, \u201cWhen the opportunity arose to work with Ubisoft on the Rabbids we leapt at it, we absolutely love the characters and can\u2019t wait to help bring them to a television audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe not-so-subtle humour of the Rabbids has made them into icons in and beyond video games,\u201d states Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft\u2019s French studios. \u201cAardman perfectly understands that humour and we are extremely excited to be working with them to bring the Rabbids to a new medium and a new audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ubisoft and Aardman\u2019s in-house digital agency, Aardman Digital, already worked together on the Raving Rabbids brand by creating the website dedicated to the upcoming video game Raving Rabbids Travel in Time, which launches in November.<\/p>\n
