SVT (Swedish Television) has ordered 52 episodes of the upcoming animated show Super Brakan & Ice-Bella produced by Nuttery Entertainment and Toonz Media Group. The 11-minute show is based on a successful book series and follows two homemade superhero-siblings, sprung from the power of the potato, as they battle a dull adult world using their only super power – imagination.
Super Brakan & Ice-Bella is based on the legendary character Hakan Brakan, created by best-selling Swedish authors Sören Olsson and Anders Jacobsson. While the show invites co-viewing by tackling topics and behavior that will find familiarity and resonate with both parents and kids, it is primarily aimed at kids aged 5+.
The show’s narrative revolves around the titular duo and their imagination-powered friends who are chosen to take on the boring world of grown-ups in the small town of Glimmerdahl after the enemy of fun, Dr. Meyn threatens to turn it into a funless, productive, and quiet dystopia.
Working with these iconic characters with the authors and our incredible partners has been an amazing creative journey so far, and with SVT coming on board adds an extra layer of excitement. The characters’ national broadcaster is the ideal home for the series and we look forward to bring this amazing story to life together with them, says Magnus Jansson, CEO Nuttery Entertainment
Nuttery Entertainment has created something truly unique in a series that will seamlessly blend comedy, adventure, and fantasy. The series incorporates universally recognizable themes with characters that are accessible and relatable. We look forward to presenting the series to our viewers, says Linda Granath, Head of Acquisitions, children, SVT
The show is a co-production between Nuttery Entertainment and Toonz Media Group. The Nuttery will serve as showrunners and brand managers, and Toonz will handle the main animation production and distribute the series worldwide.
