The Rabbids characters will be the stars of an animated series to be broadcast on Nickelodeon starting in 2013. According to Gamasutra, Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Ubisoft’s French studios have partnered with France Television to produce 78 seven-minute CGI shorts featuring the characters, which will be packaged as 26 half-hour episodes for worldwide distribution on Nickelodeon.

Ubisoft officially launched its Paris-based motion picture arm earlier this year, but has previously shown interest in film and TV production through public statements and the acquisition of special effects house Hybride. The studio also has plans to develop movies based on the Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell franchises.
