Hugely successful indie comics publisher Zenescope is launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund an animation series based on its popular Grimm Fairy Tales line.
With 46 days left to run, the company is looking to fans to pledge $175,000 by May 1 to produce a high quality pilot for the show - with any further funding going towards future episodes.
Joe Brusha, President of Zenescope Entertainment, said: "We have a very talented director, Jon Schnepp, attached to this project as well as Titmouse studios ready to produce it. Jon and Titmouse are behind a number of the animated shows airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. They also do work for Disney, Nickelodeon and Spike TV. All we need now to make this project a reality is the financing."
Check out the video appeal above, then visit Zenescope's Kickstarter page for more details about the project as well as information about the rewards that can garnered for different amounts of funding (including being transformed into an animated character to appear in the show - a snip at $2,500).
I've long thought that Zenescope comics could easily translate into TV shows that I would watch and so, once I've saved up a few more pennies, I can see myself popping on this Kickstarter - if only to get a DVD of the finished product.
