‘Counterfeit Cat’ Goes Global on Disney XD and Disney Channel

TORONTO, ON -- Tricon Kids & Family’s award-winning original animated comedy series Counterfeit Cat can now be seen on Disney XD and Disney Channel in multiple territories including France, South East Asia, Japan, Australia/New Zealand, and Latin America. Counterfeit Cat received its world premiere in May on Disney XD UK and has also premiered in the US on Disney XD and its multiple platforms including the Disney XD app and via video on demand in June. It will make its way into Canada later this year on Teletoon.

A UK/Canada co-production between Tricon and Wildseed Kids, the series was originally commissioned by Disney XD EMEA and Canada’s Teletoon. Tricon International handles global distribution and property rights management.

Counterfeit Cat follows the story of an unconventional friendship between a lazy, selfish house cat and an excitable, naive alien with a mysterious destiny and a homemade purple cat suit. Gark is not a real cat, he’s a Counterfeit Cat. He’s a small blue alien in a purple cat costume. Max is a real cat: fat, fluffy, yellow and constantly pampered by his doting owner Betty. When Gark crashes his spaceship into Betty’s laundry room, he finds a new home and forms an unconventional friendship with Max, who quickly learns how to take advantage of Gark’s mysterious alien powers and his sweet, trusting nature.
