4Kids Entertainment Heads Around The World With Jules Verne!
London, 1st March 2012: 4Kids Entertainment International, the children’s entertainment and merchandise licensing company, today announced it has been appointed the global licensing agent for ‘J.V. The Extraordinary Adventures of Jules Verne’, the brand new action/comedy animation that has been developed by Lux Vide in cooperation with Rai Fiction and Musicartoon.
The Extraordinary Adventures of Jules Verne imagines that the legendary author of classics such as ‘20,000 Leagues under the Sea’, ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’ and ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ actually lived through these experiences as a young man! In the show, Jules is joined by a host of other characters, including the feisty Amelie Lucas, who is the same age as Jules and a born-adventurer, and her father Artemius, an explorer and journalist who employs the young Jules on the editorial staff of his newspaper. Together they battle against the forces of the evil Captain Nemo – the villain of the piece who is intent on taking over the world through his technological genius.
This beautifully animated TV series is comprised of 26x26min episodes, with a target audience of kids 6 – 11, scheduled for a spring 2013 debut. The series boasts wonderful design details and will take kids on an amazing adventure with every episode. Development of the licensing and merchandising programme is set to kick off with the launch of toys, games, interactive and collectables in 2013, followed by back to school, apparel and accessories. A beautiful and fully developed style guide is available to licensees who wish to take advantage of the brand’s significant licensing potential.
Luca Bernabei, Head of Production at Lux Vide, said: “I’m delighted with both the Italian quality of the design and the uniqueness of the stories we have created. Jules Verne’s message and credo to use talents to the best ability is what makes Jules a super hero.”
Matilde Bernabei, President of Lux Vide, adds: “We are very pleased to be working with 4Kids Entertainment who has demonstrated success in kids animation. We are looking forward to developing an exciting licensing programme for Jules Verne together with 4Kids.”
“The Extraordinary Adventures of Jules Verne – combines funny and exciting scripts with sumptuous production values, well developed characters, as well as brand equity for the Jules Verne classic literary works, it is sure to appeal to a broad range of kids,” said Sandra Vauthier-Cellier, Managing Director, 4Kids Entertainment International. “This gives us a solid platform to work from and we are looking forward to presenting the property to the global licensing community.”

Synopsis: 19th-century French writer Jules Verne is one of the greatest writers of modern times. His adventure stories have inspired generations of readers.

Ep. 1: South Africa
Young Jules Verne is a law student at Sorbonne University, but he really longs to travel and become a travel writer. He manages to thwart an attempted robbery at the offices of Contes De Voyages travel magazine and is welcomed to join the magazine on an expedition in Africa. The travel group -comprised of Artemius Lucas (director of the magazine), his daughter Amelie, Jules (the same age as Amelie), De L’Ennuì (the bookkeeper), Esther (the nanny) and their dog Hatteras- sets out with the intention of measuring the twenty-forth meridian. Yet it seems someone wants to foil their plans. Two Russians, Streux and Zorn, pretend to be scientists in order to be included on the expedition, but they are really on a mission for the mysterious Captain Nemo, who wants to undermine the group’s plans.
Ep.2: Nautilus
The editorial staff of Contes de Voyages has set sail on Captain Farragut’s ship, the “Lincoln”, in search of a mysterious monster that destroys ships. After some problems at sea, Amelie and Jules are swallowed up by the waves. Yet the monster is nothing more than an avant-garde submarine under the command of Captain Nemo, a brilliant man with wicked plans whose life has been marked by a deep wound. A wound that even Artemius possibly has something to do with.
Ep.3: Cliffs of Oban
Two elderly men, Syb and Sam Dupont, ask Artemius and his entourage to accompany their daughter Helena on a journey in search of a mysterious green ray of light. In fact, as an engagement gift, the young girl has asked to see the very rare green ray, particularly spotted in Scotland, which was first described in the famous legend of Breena and her lost love. Yet once the group arrives near the cliffs of Oban, they discover that something more lies behind the legend.
Ep. 4: The Mysterious Island
Monsieur Kolderup, a wealthy and eccentric old man, has invited the editorial staff of Contes de Voyages to map out his Island, which currently cannot be found on any map.

Ep. 5: The Moon
The members of the Baltimore Gun Club are on the verge of carrying out a great mission- to launch the first man on the moon in a shuttle shot out of a huge cannon.

Ep. 6: Gibraltar
Artemius, an expert scholar in the study of monkeys, is invited by General Anderson to examine a strange phenomenon. A host of monkeys, under the command of a leader who is half-man half-ape, has attacked Fort Gibraltar. Who is this famous Pithecantrop really? Could there be a different intention behind the colonel’s call for help? And maybe even the mysterious animal has something to hide...

Jules and the others are invited by the Czar of Russia to go to the famous market in Irkustk. They soon find out, however, that the terrible Ogareff is advancing into the kingdom with his bandits, in search of the Czar’s very precious “diamond”. Artemius offers to accompany Michele Strogoff, one of the emperor’s most loyal men, on a dangerous journey to save the “diamond”.
Ep. 8: Meteor Hunt

QuoteEn principe, c'est pour les 6-10 ans. Mais gageons que, quel que soit leur âge, bon nombre d'amoureux de Jules Verne ne manqueront aucun des 26 épisodes de cette nouvelle série de dessins animés qui s'annonce passionnante. Jules Verne y interprète son propre rôle, mais alors qu'il n'est encore qu'un jeune étudiant en droit à la Sorbonne (sic). L'idée des scénaristes est de lui faire vivre les aventures dont il s'inspirera plus tard pour écrire ses Voyages Extraordinaires. Une bonne façon en réalité de faire découvrir la quasi-totalité de son oeuvre à nos chères petites têtes. C'est ainsi que l'on va retrouver le jeune Jules et ses amis (dont le chien Hatteras) tour à tour en Afrique du Sud, à mesurer le 24e méridien ; prisonniers à bord du Nautilus ; puis en Russie, où ils vont accompagner un certain Michel Strogoff et se coltiner au méchant Ogareff ; en Amérique, où ils vont rencontrer les membres du Gun-Club ; naufragés sur une île mystérieuse ; à la chasse au météore ; à bord du Chancellor ; à la poursuite d'un étrange engin volant nommé l'Albatros, dans les Carpathes, etc, etc. Sachant que chaque épisode dure 26 minutes, cela représente plus de 11 heures d'aventures en perspective ! Seul problème : le lancement international de cette nouvelle série, produite par la compagnie italienne Lux Vide, n'aura lieu qu'au printemps 2013 (sous la direction du groupe New-Yorkais 4Kids Entertainment International, qui vient tout juste d'en acquérir les droits de diffusion et d'exploitation). Pfff... c'est loin ça... 2013 !!!
NB : Voici les thèmes d'inspiration des 26 épisodes :
1: Aventures de Trois Russes et de Trois Anglais dans l'Afrique Australe - 2: Vingt Mille Lieues sous les Mers - 3: Le Rayon Vert - 4: L'Ecole des Robinsons - 5: De la Terre à la Lune - 6: Gibraltar - 7: Michel Strogoff - 8: La Chasse au Météore - 9: Le Château des Carpathes - 10: Le Tour du Monde en 80 jours - 11: Face au Drapeau - 12: Robur le Conquérant - 13: Clovis Dardentor - 14: La Jangada - 15: Le Sphinx des Glaces - 16: Voyage au Centre de la Terre - 17: L'invasion de la mer - 18: L'Ile Mystérieuse - 19: La Maison à Vapeur - 20: Les Indes Noires - 21: Maître du Monde - 22: Le Volcan d'Or - 23: Le Chancellor - 24: Mirifiques Aventures de Maître Antifer – 25 et 26 : Le Capitaine Nemo.
Les synopsis de chaque épiqode (en anglais), ainsi qu'un extrait de l'un d'eux (à bord du Nautilus avec le Capitaine Nemo), sont disponibles sur le site du producteur Lux Vide. -

Die Serie hat auch einen schriftlichen Ableger bekommen: Mindestens zwei Taschenbücher sind bereits erschienen: Le straordinarie avventure di Jules Verne. Ich war neugierig und habe mir mal die Ausgabe Nautilus zugelegt. Ich würde sagen, es handelt sich um ein Bilderbuch mit großem Textanteil. Die Bilder scheinen der TV-Serie entnommen zu sein. Wer des Italienischen mächtig ist und die Trickserie mag, der kann sich bedenkenlos die schicken Taschenbücher zulegen.
