PorchLight Builds on “Tutenstein” with Film, Debuts “Tan”

Two new PorchLight Entertainment properties, feature-length Tutenstein: Clash of the Pharaohs and series “Tan” will be showcased at MIPCOM, mid-October.

Tutenstein: Clash of the Pharaohs is a spin-off film of the Discovery Kids series, “Tutenstein” in the U.S. The feature is expected to debut on the network this fall.

An 11-minute episode of PorchLight’s new Lincoln Butterfield Animation series, “Tan,” will be screened at MIPCOM Junior, too. The Tan character is an egg who sets about the world making new friends and goes on adventures after graduating from Lo Fat Martial Arts Academy & Cooking School. Twenty-six half-hour episodes are to air globally in fall 2009.

In addition to “Tan,” Lincoln Butterfield Animation will also pitch family show, “NIT: Neighborhood Investigation Team” and two adult properties, “Venture Probe” and “When in Rome” at MIPCOM, all available for expansions into comics and children’s books, broadband, mobile and feature films.
