At MIPCOM this year, leading kids’ entertainment specialist CAKE, has announced it will be bringing new Netflix Original Legend Quest.
Legend Quest (26 x 25’), which was created by leading Mexican studio Anima premiered successfully on Netflix in 2017 in 190 countries and was the first animated Netflix original series to be produced in Latin America. Under the agreement, CAKE will handle worldwide distribution excluding LatAm. The title is available in 18 languages.

Together, this intrepid group travel across the globe on a magical ship across time to the most famous and mystical places on Earth to defend the world against evil forces in this Mexican folklore inspired fantasy adventure comedy series.
