Part of a 3D animation franchise for children, "Superthings: Rivals of Kaboom – Kazoom Power" includes a two-season series, with a total of 52 episodes and a movie. Both the series and the movie have been developed in parallel with the successful Superthings toys.

The project, which already has the support of RTVE, À Punt, ICEC and ICAA in Spain, was presented by Filmax a few days ago in Toulouse.  Over the coming days, Filmax, who recently celebrated its 70th anniversary during the recent edition of theSan Sebastian Film Festival, will be showing the first images of the series to buyers at Mipcom and MipJunior.

The series was one of those chosen to be presented in the market at the prestigious animation event, Cartoon Forum. The franchise is targeted at children between 6 and 10 years old and is backed by an experienced team who have a long history in the production of children’s animation. Among them is Carlos Bleycher (POCOYO), as the main scriptwriter, Keytoon Animation Studio, with brothers David and Jonathan Cuevas in charge of directing the series, and José Luis Ucha as the creator of the bible.

The movie will be directed by Víctor Monigote, director of the Goya-winning film, TURU, "The Wacky Hen." The series tells the story of the adventures embarked upon by three kids, Kai, Finn and Mia. Friends from the sixth grade, they find themselves caught up in the adventure of their lives when Enigma calls on them to travel to Kaboom City, a fantastic world where everyday objects have become superheroes and supervillains rivals: The Hero Orange VS the Villain Juicer, the Hero Drums VS the Villain Guitar and so many more will be shown in humorous, action-filled adventures as they all try to control the Kazoom Power.

"Superthings" Rivals of Kaboom – Kazoom Power revolves around three main themes that contribute to the growth and development of the youngest viewers: the power of imagination, the importance of team work in the success of all heroes and healthy rivalry as a source of motivation to bring out the best in oneself. The three kids from the sixth grade Kai, Finn and Mia find themselves caught up in the adventure of their lives when, after getting into big trouble in science class, they decide to travel with Enigma, a walking, talking top hat – to Kaboom City, a fantastic world where everyday objects have become superheroes and supervillains rivals: The Hero Orange VS the Villain Juicer, the Hero Drums VS the Villain Guitar and so many more.

The Kazoom Kids are the only ones who can help Enigma stop the evil plan of the powerful villains Mr. King and Professor K, who are trying to take over the whole of Kaboom City. Excited by the thrilling challenge Enigma gives them, the three friends join the side of the superheroes, who are badly in need of backup, and embark on a series of missions in order to find the six pieces of pure Kazoom before Mr. King and his henchmen use them to take over Kaboom City. Kid Kazoom, Kid Fury and Multy will take on these challenges with bravery, enthusiasm and joy, but their friendship will soon be called into question when they find themselves on opposing sides.

“'Superthings' is a global move for us, a true commitment to a franchise that will include a two-season series and a movie," Ivan Diaz, Head of International at Filmax, talks excitedly about this new production said. "Given the international, commercial success of the Magic Box toys, we believe that this IP has the potential to become one of the strongest on the market and we have complete faith in its global vocation."
