Raving Rabbids to be made into TV pilot

The Raving Rabbids will appear in a TV pilot

The cute-but-psychotic Raving Rabbids which debuted in Ubisoft’s Rayman series are to be turned into a TV pilot according to the French developer.

The characters will feature in an animation made by Aardman Studios which is best known for the Wallace And Gromit franchise. It has struck a deal with Ubisoft to develop a pilot with a view to making a fully-fledged series if it proves a hit.

The rabbids have already made appearances in viral clips, TV ads and as plush toys in addition to featuring in a number of games for various consoles. They have been such a hit that their most recent game – Rabbids Go Home – was the first to break away completely from the ‘Rayman’ franchise.

The next Rabbids game, Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time, will arrive in Ireland in mid-November.
