New CG-animated kids series from ‘Winx Club’ creator and director Iginio Straffi and animation studio Rainbow/Bardel is scheduled for release on Netflix in August.
Emmy Award-winning animation studio Rainbow/Bardel (Rick and Morty, The Dragon Prince) has released a trailer for its new upcoming 3D CG-animated kids series Mermaid Magic from award-winning creator and director Iginio Straffi (Winx Club), coming to Netflix worldwide in August.
The show, written by Rich Burns and Nancy Cohen, promises stunning visuals in an immersive underwater world. Guy Bar’ely (Minions, Kung Fu Panda) is showrunner.
In the underwater world of Mertropia, Mermaid Magic follows the adventures of fearless Princess Merlinda and her inseparable friends Sasha and Nerissa. These warrior mermaids embark on an epic journey to the surface world to battle the wicked pirate Barbarossa, who is draining the ocean’s magic. The series blends magic, action, humor and emotion while also spotlighting issues like ocean conservation.
“Mermaid Magic is a show that pushes the boundaries of animation quality for TV,” said Straffi. “Every frame is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, creating a visual feast that truly brings the underwater world to life. This show is not just about stunning animation; it is about compelling storytelling. Our characters are richly developed, and their journeys are both relatable and inspiring. We’ve woven a narrative that captivates audiences of all ages.”
