Want to share your passion for The Walking Dead with your children, but find the graphic nature of the AMC television series to be a bit inappropriate? Skybound has got you covered, unveiling today The Walking Dead Kids!, a new child-friendly spin on The Walking Dead series from Robert Kirkman. It's a cartoon so regardless of how much blood and gore there is, it's child-appropriate! There's even bright rainbow colors to prove it.
"We wanted something that our younger fans could enjoy and by sheer coincidence AMC was looking for a AAA title to help launch its Saturday Morning kids’ programming block called AMChildren," Skybound wrote.
"We then hooked up with the geniuses at Kajja Animation in South Korea and after many months of story writing (all by Robert Kirkman, who cut his teeth writing All-Ages with Super Dinosaur) and character designs by cartoonist Howie Noel, we are (almost) ready to give you your first look."
And because the industry loves teasing teasers, here's the "temp promo" for The Walking Dead Kids!
As you can see, the familiar faces of The Walking Dead — Rick, Carl, Michonne, and Andrea — but joining them is a very familiar face from Telltale Games' The Walking Dead episodic game series. Yup, Clementine will be joining in on the fun! And joining her will be Zed the Undead Canine.
Fans eager for The Walking Dead Kids! can look forward to its airing next year following the Season 6 finale on Saturday, April 1, 2016.
