9 Story Entertainment's Newest Animated Series 'Best Ed' Heads Down Under

Company Licenses Proprietary Series to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Secures Video Distribution with Australia's Madman Entertainment

9 Story Entertainment has signed with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC Kids) to broadcast its newest 2D digital animated series Best Ed and additionally has granted the video distribution rights to leading Australian video and DVD distributor, Madman Entertainment.

ABC is tentatively set to broadcast the series, which is currently in production and scheduled for delivery in early 2008, as part of their afternoon prime-time block.

"We are pleased to have both ABC and Madman as our newest broadcast and distribution partners," said Natalie Osborne, EVP of Business Development for 9 Story. " 'Best Ed' is 'today's odd couple for kids. We are thrilled that the series is being met with great interest so early in production and are certainly delighted to have found such outstanding entertainment partners for best friends, Ed and Buddy."

Best Ed (52 x 11 min.) revolves around the unlikely friendship of the always helpful Ed, a dog, and his squirrel pal Buddy.

The show is a 9 Story original production for TELETOON in Canada and Cartoon Network UK. The company has also secured pre-sale deals for the property with Cartoon Network Europe and the Middle East.
