On Tuesday, during the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Disney Branded Television announced a lineup of new animated projects and shared first looks from its industry-leading preschool and kids-focused slate. Among the titles announced during the event was a new spooky comedy animated series, “The Doomies.”
Produced by Xilam in association with Disney+, “The Doomies” follows friends Bobby and Romy, who mistakenly open a gateway to the underworld and turn their sleepy coastal town into a hotspot for terrifying creatures of doom. As they try to cover up their mess, they get roped into an epic monster mystery, which will see them battle both literal and inner demons.
Andrés Fernandez (“Zig & Sharko”), Henry Gifford (“Spidey and His Amazing Friends”), and Rémi Zaarour (“Zig & Sharko”) co-created the series. Fernandez will direct it, with Gifford serving as head writer and Zaarour serving as art director.
A panel dedicated to the upcoming global series will be held at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival later this week.
