Turner Greenlights ‘Tuzki’ Movie In Partnership with Tencent Pictures

Tuzki the Movie

The famous rabbit emoticon celebrates 10th anniversary with theatrical film release

BEIJING, CHINA (September 19, 2016) – Turner Asia Pacific and Shanghai Tencent Pictures Culture Media Co., Ltd. (Tencent Pictures) have agreed to develop a film starring Tuzki, the famous rabbit emoticon used every day by millions. In a MOU, production of the feature-length movie, which will fuse CGI and live-action content, is expected to begin in 2017, with a likely China release in 2018.

This will be the first full-length movie project for Turner-owned Tuzki, who is currently celebrating his 10th anniversary. Created by Momo Wang in 2006, Tuzki is best known on social media platforms and instant communication apps, but has appeared in short animated projects before.

Clément Schwebig, Turner’s SVP of Business Development, Licensing & China, said: “This announcement is a huge milestone as we look to grow the Tuzki franchise and reinforces Turner’s commitment to its growing business in China. Turner’s dedicated team in Shanghai is really pleased to be working with Tencent Pictures on this project, who themselves are leaders in developing digital IP.

“Through WeChat, Tencent is obviously very familiar with Tuzki, and everyone is excited to see him appear on the big screen. This irrepressible rabbit has already made a strong emotional connection with a generation of young Chinese, and this film will take engagement to the next level.”

Tencent Pictures will be responsible for leading the film’s production and distribution. Turner will be supporting through its 360-degree licensing efforts with consumer products, live experiences and family entertainment centres.

Tencent Pictures mentioned: “For 10 years, millions of young adults in China have used Tuzki’s unique expressions to communicate their feelings with their friends. Now, they can experience Tuzki’s story in what promises to be a remarkable story of adventure and excitement. We’re looking forward to partnering with Turner to create a film starring a timeless and eminently marketable IP.”

This announcement caps a busy few months for Tuzki. In April, a Tuzki-branded restaurant opened in Shanghai and he also made a big splash at the Beijing Comic Con in June. Finally, “The World of Tuzki: Summer Sports Gala” – a sports-themed exhibition – recently opened at the Galaxy Macau.

The new Ben 10 makes global debut in Q4 on Cartoon Network

Latest Franchise Begins Worldwide Rollout with Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific and Continues into 2017 with North America and Latin America

Cartoon Network’s newest take on Ben 10, the animated phenomenon that had kids all over the world wanting to transform into their favorite alien, begins its global premiere this Q4 with Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the Asia-Pacific region (APAC), and will continue into 2017 with North America and Latin America (LATAM). A new generation of fans can expect all the high-energy action and fantasy, along with the heart and humour that made it an international sensation when it originally premiered in 2006.

Building on the highly successful franchise about kid hero Ben Tennyson, Ben 10 will introduce a re-imagined Ben, his cousin Gwen, and Grandpa Max, as they travel the country during summer vacation. When Ben finds the Omnitrix, a mysterious watch that transforms him into 10 different friendly aliens, a world of extraterrestrial superpowers opens up to him. The series is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and created and executive produced by Man of Action Entertainment (Big Hero 6, Generator Rex), with John Fang (Mixels, Generator Rex) on board as supervising producer.

The popularity of the show launched three additional animated series (Ben 10: Alien Force, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, Ben 10: Omniverse); two animated movies (Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens); and two live-action movies (Ben 10: Race Against Time, Ben 10: Alien Swarm).

A proven success for Cartoon Network, Ben 10 is an established sales sensation led by top-selling toys, interactive and home entertainment franchises generating more than US$4.5 billion in global retail sales to date. Playmates Toys serves as the worldwide master toy partner for the new Ben 10 with a full line of toys based on the series and will include a range of figures, playsets, and role-play items set to launch at retail globally in late 2017.
