Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk has partnered up with Laughing Dragon Studios from Montreal to create an animated TV series called "Skatebirds" for kids aged 6-11.
According to reports, the show is all about skateboarding, being adventurous, and having fun while promoting teamwork, friendship, and community - all things Tony Hawk loves!
In the series, a bunch of young feathered skateboarders come together, inspired by their hometown and their confidence in their ability to take on any challenge.
Each episode is 11 minutes long and focuses on teamwork and determination. The show will be available on TikTok and YouTube, catering to the digital-savvy generation.
This isn't the first time Tony Hawk has been involved in a huge TV project. In 2021, HBO released "Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off," a feature documentary on the life and career of the skateboarding legend, made by Mark and Jay Duplass' Duplass Brothers Productions and director Sam Jones.
Laughing Dragon Studios is a badass 2D animation studio that has some super cool stuff in their portfolio like Apple TV+'s Central Park and Disney's Disenchanted.
They're the creative force behind 'Skatebirds.' Their big range of projects, including the crazy mythologic title Isaac & Friends and an animated adaptation of Least I Could Do, shows how they can do anything and everything to deliver quality entertainment.
Ryan Sohmer, CEO of Laughing Dragon, expressed his excitement about working with Tony Hawk, saying, "There's a list of people that I hoped to create an animated series with somewhere in a drawer of a home I no longer live in. At the top of that list is Tony Hawk - a guy who managed to get this uncoordinated human atop a skateboard and taste asphalt a few moments later. I could not be more thrilled to have Tony leading the way on Skatebirds and introducing this community to a whole new generation."
