HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ANIMATED SERIES CHAOTIC™ OFFICIALLY
JOINS 4KIDS TV™ LINEUP WITH 40 NEW EPISODES
Action-Packed Series to Complement Multi-Platform
Chaotic Trading Card Game™ Launching in Early 2007
Series Begins on Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 11:30 a.m.
(ET) on
4Kids TV (Fox affiliates nationwide)
New York, N.Y. (January 3, 2006) – Saturday mornings are
about to get a little more chaotic as the highly-anticipated
new TV series Chaotic officially rejoins the 4Kids TV lineup
on FOX on Saturday, January 6th with 40 new episodes.
Chaotic introduces viewers to a mythical trading card game
that features tales of parallel worlds, incredible powers
and fierce and fantastical creatures.
Anticipation has been building for the show, which was
teased to viewers in September with a two-episode
cliffhanger that left the show’s protagonist, Tom, trapped
in the parallel universe of Perim, where the Chaotic trading
card game, and all of its characters, have come to life.
Following the sneak peek, 4Kids launched a Countdown to
Chaotic campaign that has allowed kids to collect virtual
Chaotic trading cards online at www.chaoticcode.com as they
waited out Tom’s fate. Anyone who has collected these cards
has a jumpstart on the Chaotic Trading Card Game that
launches at comic and hobby stores in Spring 2007.
On January 6, 4Kids will re-air the first episode of the
series, with the second episode airing on January 13. The
all-new highly anticipated third episode will air on January
21. In the series, Tom and his friends discover that the
Chaotic Trading Card Game they’ve been playing is a whole
lot more than a game. They find that the unique codes on
their trading cards are actually scans of real, living
creatures with unique powers. The kids then use these fierce
and fascinating beings to help further their gaming skills
as they capture the codes of new creatures, new battle gear
– even new locations -- in which to compete.
Kids will be able to have their own Chaotic experiences by
playing the Chaotic Trading Card Game from TC Digital, LLC,
a division of 4Kids Entertainment, debuting at comic and
hobby stores this Spring. Each card has its own unique code
that not only ensures that virtually no two cards are alike,
but also enables kids to upload their personal collection of
Chaotic cards to battle and trade online for free at the
www.chaoticgame.com game portal. Through the TV series,
viewers will be able to discover battle strategies that will
ultimately help them master the Chaotic Trading Card Game
for both on-line and off-line game play -- elevating the
interactivity and engagement with kids to a level never
before experienced in an entertainment property.
