DQ Entertainment (International) Limited, a Hyderabad-based animation, game art and entertainment company, has signed a deal with California-based Foothill for development, co-production and distribution of animated buddy comedy ‘Raz & Benny’.
Both the companies plan a series of strategic meetings during the ongoing MIPCOM, a television and entertainment market which is held in the town of Cannes once every year, with the debut of a promo produced by DQE.
Created by UK-based director Simon Hodgkiss of Rockkiss DME, the computer-generated imagery (CGI) series is the tale of two mice whose ambitions are bigger than their brains, but whose good luck is as endless as their friendship.
Often inspired by their eccentric pal Lilly, dare-devil Raz and cautious Benny are always off on one adventure or another, which usually starts with a “big idea” Whether posing as international spies, scuba-diving submarine rescuers or expert explorers in the deepest jungle, inseparable Raz and Benny consistently deliver the laughter and come out on top.
“Raz & Benny is such a fun project and we are really looking forward to working with Foothill to bring this property to life,” said Tapaas Chakravarti, chairman and chief executive officer of DQE.
DQ Entertainment’s scrip is currently trading at Rs 20.10 on the BSE, up 2.29%, from previous close of Rs 19.75 a share.
