Ann: Yowie signs agreement with Icon Animation, page-2

More delays announced at the bell. .


April 6 2016  was when Bruce Davey was appointed by YOW .  see announcement.   That is 15 months for 3min webisodes I hope some stuff is very well advanced- well it has to be for chrissy deadline..  He was / is the chairman at ICON.

"Bruce has already commenced working with the Group on the development of Yowie publishing and Yowie animated webisodes (7 x 3 minute webisodes), designed to share the Yowie story and introduce each of the Yowie characters. A webisode is an episode of a series that is distributed as web television. It is available either for download or in streaming, as opposed to a first airing on broadcast or cable television. The format can be used as a preview, a promotion, as part of a collection of shorts, or a commercial. Both the publishing and webisode developments are being tailored for the US market and scheduled for launch in early 2017"


2 years ago or earlier ZAC Creative redid the 3d poses etc  of the Yowie characters.  


So the writers were part of the Power rangers writers team

Bit of Aussie talent which is good to see.  .
No idea on costs or what has been done in last 15 months but from now this starts sucking $and time  like no tomorrow depending on the agreement??   Obviously YOW will have final editorial control in some way and also in doesn't state toys, plushies, beanies clothes etc are or aren't included as we all know that different areas of branding and merchandise can be the money spinner? . Needs clarification?
I hope it is a sign that they finally have some volume selling and can finance this complimentary business and it will drive the brand if even done half right not a sign that they are desperate and realise they have to attack the market with their branding to get volume..   Shame we have gone from early 2017 release to Christmas 2017 and it must be well advanced as if you want a Chrissy release in several languages as previously stated that gives them only 90 days? @TDA may be able to shed some light if the companies mentioned have the capability with staff etc to actually achieve this and i8f they are the right partner to  do the full digital branding and if they have the capability for merchandising and if they are doing such for any other brands?
