MUMBAI: Hyderabad-based DQ Entertainment has decided to partner Imira Entertainment, Spain‘s leading production and distribution company specialising in youth programming, Enne Entertainment Studios and Spanish broadcaster TVE on a new 3D animated series titled Escape Hockey.

Aimed at children between the 6-to-12-year-olds and created by Enne Entertainment, Escape Hockey is a blend of comedy and space adventure that tells the story of Dan, who is abducted along with his friends to a prison planet named Plutonium.

The only way for him to go back home is to win the great Escape Hockey Tournament, the biggest sporting event in the galaxy, where the most dangerous inmates battle it out for the ultimate prize.
 
Said DQE Group Chairman & CEO Tapaas Chakravarti, "The watch and play format will be a great attraction for the children viewing the series. We are sure that the combined synergies of DQE, Imira and Enne Animation will make Escape Hockey a great success worldwide."

The series will be produced in two versions, a standard television series and an interactive version which will feature the innovative gaming format ‘Watch and Play‘ - a revolutionary system that allows the viewer watch the series and play at the same time, thanks to the mini-games integrated in each chapter.

Scenes incorporated in the storyline will be played out by the viewer. This will be developed with VOD, online, interactive TV and games console platforms in mind. These videogames will also allow TVE develop the interactive potential of its web offering including skills of socialisation and community creation around the series.
