DeAPlaneta Entertainment gets international distribution rights on "Hamsters"

DeAPlaneta Entertainment has signed a deal with Belgian production company Haptic for its acclaimed young adult animated series Hamsters. Thanks to this agreement, DeAPlaneta Entertainment will manage international Media and Digital rights for the series and is committed to make the brand even bigger in the immediate future.

Young adult animation series

Hamsters is a comedic young adult animation series created by popular Instagram cartoonist Laura Janssens, based on her webcomics of the same name. The series, whose first season has already been released (13×5), follows two mischievous hamsters who comment the world from inside their cage: Giovanni aims to be the perfect hamster for the outside world, while Philippe only wants to live his own life. The series, full of humour and poignant commentary, represents the lives of many young adults in the social media era. Co-produced by Haptic, 20STM and Streamz, with the support of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund (VAF), the Belgian Federal Taxshelter via Flanders Taxshelter and Wallimage, Hamsters is the creation of Laura Janssens, who, apart of illustrating books and merchandise, is the mind behind some of the world's most popular animated gifs.

Working with unique brands

Carlos Biern, Content and Distribution Director at DeAPlaneta Kids & Family has stated: “Hamsters humor is WILDLY FUNNY. Working with unique brands like this, DeAPlaneta Entertainment's portfolio continues its expansion of shows aimed specifically at young adult audiences, featuring edgy characters and situations. Hamsters is, for us, the first of many future additions of IPs we are starting work on with fresh digital artists that write and direct the way our new audiences demand”.
