The BBC will launch a new children's cartoon series in the New Year which will see a Gorillaz style animated band save the world from a musical enemy of the future - the thirteenth note. Oh yes. The show and the band in it will be called 'Freefonix', and the project is the Beeb's biggest CGI project to date, and is an Anglo-Indian venture with the animation being created in India. The show has been written and produced by songwriter and pop producer Magnus Fiennes, brother of Joseph and Ralph, and will officially launch on 4 Jan, before airing on CBBC in the New Year. I'm not clear on whether songs from the show will be released, though some are already streaming on the show's MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/freefonix. Press info about the venture from Quite Great.
