Rocket Monkeys will feature Canadian voice talents Mark McKinney and Seán Cullen
Kids will love Teletoon’s new original cartoon series Rocket Monkeys which debuts on Jan. 10.
Teletoon’s newest original series Rocket Monkeys will premier on Jan. 10 at 6:30 p.m., and will introduce brothers Gus and Wally, two inept monkeys who spend their days wreaking havoc on an intergalactic scale.
Featuring voice work by some of Canada’s brightest comedy stars, including Mark McKinney (voice of Lord Peel), Seán Cullen (voice of Gus) and introducing Mark Edwards (voice of Wally), Rocket Monkeys explores the bizarre and hilarious cosmic exploits of primate siblings Gus and Wally.
Inexplicably charged with carrying out all kinds of important missions, the brothers tend to cause more intergalactic calamity than they could ever prevent.
Luckily they have plenty of help from YAY-OK, their dashing and devoted (if slightly outdated) robot.
“Rocket Monkeys is completely off-the-wall, with a comic sensibility that just screams TELETOON,” says Teletoon Original Content Director Alan Gregg. “We’re very proud of this show and we’re confident that kids are going to love it as much as we do.”
A Breakthrough Entertainment production, Rocket Monkeys is created by Dan Abdo and Jason Patterson and developed by Alex Galatis and Mark Evestaff (who also serves as the show’s producer).
Executive producers are Ira Levy, Joan Lambur, and Peter Williamson. Season one consists of 13 half-hour episodes.
New episodes will continue to air every Thursday as part of Teletoon’s Can’t Miss Thursdays programming block.
