Toronto, September 17, 2007

Canadian-based Emmy® and Gemini award winning animation production and distribution studio, 9 Story Entertainment, has signed a development deal with YTV, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc. for one of the company's newest proprietary animated series, Almost Naked Animals,

Almost Naked Animals, is a 52 x 11' comedy series targeting 6 -11 year olds, based on the popular website of the same name (www.almostnakedanimals.com.) featuring a cast of cheeky animals dressed in underwear led by a hospitality-challenged dog named Howie.
