Gabriele M. Walther’s Munich-based Caligari Film, the company behind Ard’s hit remake of Czechoslovakian kids’ series “Pan Tau,” is producing a new 3D/CGI animated title about a group of crime-fighting mice inspired by “The Three Musketeers.”
“The Muscleteers” follows four daring mice who band together to help those in need and fight crime in the Harbor district, where shadow-filled alleyways pose grave threats to the rodent community: Cats, exterminators, construction activity, garbage collection and oblivious humans.
The series, set to premiere on Germany’s Zdf next year, is being sold internationally by Zdf Enterprises, which is also handling world sales for “Pan Tau.”
The new English-language, 14-part live-action series has become a hit for Ard’s Das Erste since premiering Oct. 4 and it’s becoming a mainstay of the channel’s Sunday morning lineup.
