Adaptation of the comic book series, which follows a fearless three-and-a-half-year-old who confronts dark forces, premieres on Télé-Québec, YouTube in 2025, with a complementary Roblox experience.
Epic Storyworlds has announced the animated series Guiby the Super Baby, based on the kids’ comic books of the same name. The comic series was originally created and illustrated by Samuel “Sampar” Parent and published by Éditions Michel-Quintin.
Guiby follows a fearless three-and-a-half-year-old. When confronted by dark forces in a shadowy, foreboding underground world, Guiby and his friends embark on daring escapades and face terrifying monsters clad in his signature red onesie and armed with his trusty pacifier.
"It's very exciting to think that my character will come to life and win the hearts of thousands of children around the world,” said Sampar. “Guiby's universe is unconventional, but it has infinite potential, which I am sure will be fully realized by the creatives at Epic Storyworlds."
“Guiby is a perfect example of 'horror' content adapted for children,” said Steve Couture, president of Epic Storyworlds. “Today’s young audiences crave thrills, but it’s essential to offer them content that respects their boundaries. Few producers or broadcasters dare to venture into this tricky yet rich and exciting territory! We are grateful that Télé-Québec had the vision and confidence in the concept to let us tell this unconventional story.”
“Télé-Québec makes young audiences a priority by offering innovative programming that showcases high-quality shows developed both locally and internationally,” added Marysol Charbonneau, director of youth and family content at Télé-Québec. “It’s no surprise that Télé-Québec ranks among the favorite youth channels for two to 11-year-olds in Quebec! Today, we are thrilled to introduce them to a new production from Epic Storyworlds, which will literally keep them on the edge of their seats. Based on a Quebec comic book, the Guiby series will allow the world to discover the talent we have here.”
In addition to Télé-Québec, the project is funded by the Canada Media Fund, Shaw Rocket Fund, the City of Quebec, and Sodec. Epic Storyworlds produces.
Guiby the Super Baby will premiere in French on Télé-Québec and in English on YouTube in 2025. A complementary Roblox experience will offer a blend of storytelling and interactive play.
