Right now the new animated content is available through its Toca Life World app and on YouTube but Heirbaut says his team has aspirations of taking it further. “Because right now we are focusing on getting users in mainly from app stores, we just want to broaden that entry point.” “We’re adding a storytelling component to the franchise because we think it’s really going to elevate the brand and open up the entry point,” says Heirbaut. While the series has technically been in the works since Toca Boca launched in 2010, according to head of entertainment Max Heirbaut, it took a while to complete because the team wanted to make the highest quality show they could. It is co-produced by Toca Boca, its parentco Spin Master and Hamilton, Canada-based Pipeline Studios. It is about four close friends with mismatched personalities-Rita, Zeke, Nari and Leon-on a quest to vanquish boredom in their neighborhood of OK Street. The first ep of the 42 x 3.5-minute series launches today on YouTube, followed by new episodes every Saturday. Swedish appmaker Toca Boca is launching its first animated series, Toca Life Stories, to introduce the Toca Life brand to new audiences and extend its gaming and licensing efforts with more content.
