Mercury Filmworks explores Puddle Peak

Pangors of Puddle Peak is the second in-house series from Mercury

Canadian animation studio Mercury Filmworks has launched a 3D animated series inspired by its chief content officer’s childhood in New Zealand.

Pangors of Puddle Peak was created by CCO Heath Kenny and is aimed at four- to six-year-olds. It follows two friends who discover previously unknown creatures called Pangors at the top of a hill near where they live and realise they need  help.

Puddle Peak is the second series created in-house at the Ottawa company to be greenlit, following BloopyMerps last week.

Clint Eland, founder and CEO of Mercury said: “Investing in concepts from internal talent is a major priority. The craftsmanship, organisation and drive of our artists are what has propelled the growth and success of Mercury Filmworks, and as we look to a future in which we are IP builders, there is an opportunity to further vest our people and showcase their talents.”
