  1. SEOUL — Korean animation firm, Studio Mir has forged a 4-year contract with DreamWorks Animation spanning four animated TV series.

    Each series is expected to be a 78-episode 2-D show.

    Significantly, the two companies are set to co-develop and co-produce. Details of the financing and ultimate distribution were not disclosed.

    “The contract between DreamWorks and Studio Mir is a landmark in that it is a partnership of equals,” said Yoo Jae-myung, founder and CEO of Mir.

    The company is known in the U.S. for its “Legend of Korra,” which plays on Nickelodeon and was pitched to fans at last month’s Comic-Con.

    Korean companies have often been sub-contractors on international TV shows and animated films – a large portion of the animation of “The Simpsons” is handled by Korean firms including Anivision and AKOM – but they have rarely been full co-producers or co-owners of the IP.

    “This contract is a solid opportunity for the entire Korean animation industry to create a better workforce and infrastructure in the field of animation,” said Yoo.

    I'm personally excited to see what Dreamworks and Studio Mir have in store with this deal.

    Iceroll's list trivia:

    How to Train Your Dragon takes over for the biggest point jump now, as it flies 65 points above #13, Frozen. It is the highest ranking Dreamworks Animation film (looks like Alpha was right, out of the ChD gang).

    As a huge fan of the series. I might as well make my first post on this forum about Dragons

    Great list btw. It's what made me stop lurking after 2 full months.
