MUMBAI: Indian animation company Graphiti Multimedia is producing Xtreme Shorts featuring Honest Entertainment property Fido Dido.
The 13 one-minute, music-driven action shorts will feature a 3D Fido applying his "Fidosophies" to the universe of extreme sports. He will wakeboard, surf and parasail into the Nicktoons US lineup this year.
Graphiti Multimedia‘s director and COO Munjal Shroff says, "We are very happy to be working with Honest and especially with Fido. The character has come to be known as ‘The King of Cool‘ in India, thanks to his unprecedented success as the spokes-character for 7UP worldwide."
Fido Dido co-creator Joanna Ferrone says, "Graphiti is doing extraordinary work in India, where it all seems to be happening these days. We also think Nicktoons will be the perfect partner to showcase Fido Dido‘s five central Fidosophies: ‘It‘s cool to be you; Normal is boring; Your best friend is your head; Dare to be different; and Life is short, live it up.‘"
This will be Fido‘s first adventure into series animation since he was ‘born‘ on a cocktail napkin in 1985.
