Life’s a Zoo won the Best Animated Series honor at the Gemini Awards, given out for excellence in Canadian television.
The stop-motion series, about a group of animals that try to plot and scheme their way to fame and fortune, is produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios and airs in Canada on Teletoon.
“We’re delighted to have won Canada’s most prestigious award representing excellence in television – an honor that carries with it a great deal of international prestige and respect,” said Adam Shaheen, president and executive producer at Cuppa Coffee.
The win has increased the awareness of the show in the industry significantly, he said. “We’re already fielding calls from broadcasters who are now better aware of Life’s a Zoo.”
(Cuppa Coffee is the largest stop motion studio in North America. From the time we first graduated students, Max the Mutt graduates have been hired by Cuppa Coffee, and several of our 2009 graduates have now joined them.)
