The Three Stooges Set To Return

Leading kids distributor CAKE announced a three party co-venture with
animation powerhouse Titmouse, Inc. and C3 Entertainment Inc. owners of The Three
Stooges brand.

The three companies will team up to produce a brand new Three Stooges animated series,
which CAKE and Titmouse will start introducing to potential partners at Annecy, with C3
taking the project to LIMA as well.

Produced by animation studio Titmouse, Inc. (Turbo FAST, Randy Cunningham: 9th
Grade Ninja), it is the intention for the series to be directed by a broad group of established
directors, who will each be asked to take the lead on several episodes. The pilot animatic
was created with Christy Karacas (Superjail!) directing, other directors will be added in a
second stage.

The 52 x 11 minute animated series is set to have the same broad family appeal that is
associated with The Three Stooges classic brand, with the physical, visual and slapstick
humour taken to whole new levels. With limited dialogue, the series will be ideal for
international audiences and multiple platforms.

The Three Stooges is one of the most successful and recognisable brands worldwide
enjoying nearly 100 years of success on stage, screen and television. Appearing in over
220 films, numerous TV appearances, a recent theatrical release, DVD releases and an
international licensing and merchandising programme, Larry, Moe and Curly have
maintained their popularity with audiences all over the world. Appearing regularly on
television, their comedy classics continue to make people laugh, delighting old fans while
attracting a new generation.

Tom van Waveren, CEO & Creative Director, CAKE said “We are hugely excited about
working with Titmouse and C3 Entertainment on such an evergreen franchise. We see
great potential in a refreshed animated approach to this classic and we are looking forward
to introducing it to potential partners at the forthcoming festivals.”
