The Biker Mice From Mars, a childhood classic of mine (on a par with Sharky and George), returned to children’s early-morning television screens across the globe in 2006 after over ten years of absence. With a rockier soundtrack and updated graphics and visual effects, the third season of the new airings will start later on this year.

In 2006 whilst working for Catalyst Pictures in Manchester we were offered the opportunity to produce a “Habbosode” for Habbo Hotel (a large on-line children’s virtual world). As part of the pitching process, fourteen animation studios from across the globe were invited to create a short animation using very specific characters and with a huge bible of guidelines covering everything from environmental settings to character temperament (remember: this was aimed specifically at children). We were allowed to develop our own storyline and cast our own voice artists though.
