Vancouver-based Atomic Cartoons, a Leo-award-winning animation firm, has signed a three-year, joint-venture agreement with Kelowna’s Yeti Farm Creative that is worth up to $3 million.
Yeti Farm Creative and Atomic Cartoons will collaborate on two children’s cartoons – Rocket Monkeys, which airs on TELETOON, and Pirate Express, an upcoming Atomic Cartoons comedy series.
“We’re very pleased to be able to springboard from our long-time success in the Vancouver marketplace and to expand production into Kelowna, a growing and vibrant animation market within B.C.,” said Atomic Cartoons partner Rob Simmons. “Kelowna offers a natural extension to our work and a supportive business and lifestyle environment.
“Having committed and experienced partners in Yeti Farm Creative is a great approach to the Okanagan for Atomic.”
Yeti Farm will be hiring 30 new staff members because of the joint venture agreement.
