We could not have a better partner than DQ Entertainment to move forward with this new venture. DQ Entertainment's structure and parallel CGI pipeline to ours was an important ingredient in choosing an overseas animation partner. Tapaas and his staff embraced Miles and delivered a great pilot. We look forward to a long standing relationship with them, both for this series and future projects."
