HANNA-BARBERA Developing Animated Series for Gerry Anderson's HIT SQUAD

Hanna Barbera Studios Europe has begun development on Hit Squad, a new adult animated series inspired by the work of visionary British producer Gerry Anderson. The series is developed in close partnership with Anderson Entertainment, led by Gerry’s son Jamie Anderson, who will serve as an executive producer on the project. Gerry Anderson was a visionary British creator, producer, and director whose groundbreaking work redefined science fiction and family entertainment. From Thunderbirds and Stingray to Captain Scarlet and Space: 1999, his inventive storytelling, pioneering special effects, and iconic “Supermarionation” technique left an indelible mark on global popular culture and continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

Toy Fair 2017: Big Chief Studios on Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet

Big Chief takes center stage as our Toy Fair 2017 coverage continues with Matt Booker of JediNews, UK Toy Fair and a topic often visited by folks across the pond. The worlds of Gerry Anderson are hard to forget, populated by puppets with faces ranging from heroic to nightmare fuel. Not surprisingly, my earliest and only recollections of the Anderson's work were flashes of insanity from a TV show called Terrahawks. That show makes the phrase "can not unsee" an understatement. Now Big Chief triggers us all with 12 inch Character Replicas from the always iconic Thunderbirds and the infamous Captain Scarlet.
