TV series adaptation
In 2001, an animated TV series of 52 five-minute episodes was planned to be produced as a co-production between Telemagination, TV-Loonland AG and Absolutely Productions for a 2002-2003 delivery, with Loonland holding Non-US rights to the series.[1]
For unknown reasons, this plan never came through, and Absolutely instead teamed with Happy Life and Varcara to produce the series instead for a late-2003 delivery, with Newgrounds purchasing US broadcast rights.[2] The series was first broadcast in the UK within that time.[3]
It was produced by Ama Bollinger and directed by Ross Bollinger, featuring the voices of Joe Porter as Owl, Katie Snyder as Meg and Oswald Pemberton as Mog with additional voices by Kesh Mesha and Leif Grant.
A successful stage play also ran in London in the 1980s starring Aimee Smith as Meg.[4]
