Franchise kings THQ have announced the acquisition of the rights to Spumco’s new TV show, Ripping Friends.
“The Ripping Friends is such a clever and innovative program, that it actually invites kids to participate in physical activities during the show,” stated Michael Rubinelli, vice president of product development, THQ. “We think this type of involvement --that actually brings kids into the action -- is an ideal springboard for developing interactive games. We are delighted to be working with Hearst Entertainment in extending John Kricfalusi’s creative fantasy with The Ripping Friends videogames.”
Ripping Friends will be in the same style as Ren and Stimpy but set in space and feature humans.
“We are extremely pleased to be working with THQ to create interactive games based on The Ripping Friends,” stated Kevin Kolde, Vice President and General Manager, Spumco. “The Ripping Friends series features story segments called ‘Rip Along With The Ripping Friends’ that are designed to involve kids at home in the action. Interactive games will allow us to take the concept even further and allow kids to play as their favourite manly heroes.”
