In partnership with Aardman, Ubisoft is producing a pilot and several episodes of an animated short feature based on the Rabbids characters.

"When the opportunity arose to work with Ubisoft on the Rabbids we leapt at it, we absolutely love the characters and can’t wait to help bring them to a television audience," Miles Bullough, head of broadcast at Aardman, said. The company created the Wallace and Gromit series.

"The not-so-subtle humor of the Rabbids has made them into icons in and beyond video games," Xavier Poix, managing director of Ubisoft’s French studios, said. "Aardman perfectly understands that humor and we are extremely excited to be working with them to bring the Rabbids to a new medium and a new audience."

The Rabbids were originally introduced as part of the Rayman series. More recently, they have been featured in viral campaigns and advertisements for Renault and Coca-Cola.
