Nelvana's Smash Hit Trucktown Drives to Germany's SUPER RTL

(Paris, France) Corus Entertainments Nelvana, one of the worlds leading international producers and distributors of children's animated and live-action content, is pleased to announce that its CGI animated boys preschool series Trucktown will be heading to SUPER RTL, Germany's leading children's broadcaster, later this year.

We are happy to welcome Trucktown to our pre-school block soon, said Carsten G ttel, SUPER RTL's Program Director. The special mixture of friendly and charming characters, stories full of action and a good share of fun did convince us and will surely win the hearts of our pre-school audience, too.

The series made its world premiere on Corus Entertainment's preschool channel Treehouse in September 2014 and was the #1 show during its debut month. Additionally, at launch it ranked #2 in the Top TV episodes for kids on iTunes Canada. The series debuted on France Televisions on France 5's ZouZou block in February.

Trucktown, which follows the playful adventures of a group of rough and tumble young trucks, is based on a successful series of books by renowned children's author Jon Scieszka (The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales, The Time Warp Trio, Spaceheadz) and published by Simon & Schuster, which includes over 50 titles and has sold more than 1 million books.

Trucktown centres around Jack Truck and his best friends Dump Truck Dan and Max the Monster Truck and the rest of the truck gang as they roar, romp and power their way through Trucktown. This group of friends have never met a wall they couldn't smash or a road or bridge they couldn't build and smash again. Filled with good old-fashioned fun, Trucktown is a rough and tumble place, where smashing and crashing and building and breaking are the only ways to play.
