(July 16, 2001 – Burbank, CA) – Kids’ WB!, the #1 broadcast network for kids, announces the debut of its stunning new 3D-CGI animated series, “CUBIX,” which presents a world “where there’s a robot for everyone,” premiering on Saturday, August 11 (10:30 a.m. ET/9:30 a.m. PT).

“We are excited to be partnering with 4Kids Entertainment on their first original series ‘CUBIX,’” said Ms. Friedman. “This stunning 3D-CGI series brings an unprecedented quality of animation to television that kids have never before experienced. ‘CUBIX’ presents an amazing futuristic world, filled with fascinating characters and robots, which kids today will be captivated by.”

“CUBIX” follows the adventures of 13-year-old Connor, a gadget whiz, who brings to life a robot named Cubix that had been discarded as useless. When the town’s wacky mad scientist, the evil Dr. K., begins to steal robots in search of a mysterious power source, Cubix and his friends prove to be the only force that can stop him. “CUBIX” is set in an amazing world called Bubble Town, where 10,000 of 24,000 residents are robots! The robots are everywhere and serve every function – from pizza delivery vendors to personal trainers to police officers…and even best friends!
