The script is currently being written by Brian and Jason Cleveland of CMG who handled world sales on Triggerfish’s previous films.

According to Triggerfish CFO Jean-Michel Koenig who secured the deal,“We are very pleased with the confidence Business Partners has placed in us as we look to invest further into our development slate.”

Anthony Silverston, head of development said Triggerfish Animation will use the cash to develop Here be Monsters and Seal Team even though it has a number of new exciting properties.

trig“We had a good working relationship with the Clevelands on Zambezia and were impressed by their passion for the medium and for great stories,” says Triggerfish Producer Stuart Forrest. “So it was great when they came with this concept that is so close to home for us.  Our first reaction was – why didn’t we think of that?!”
