Production completed on third season of Popular Live-Action/CG Animated YTV series Zixx: Level Three
Thunderbird Films announced that the third season of the half-hour children’s series Zixx has completed live action production in Vancouver. The series will premiere on YTV as Zixx: Level Three in Summer 2008.
“We’ve been deeply involved in Zixx from the earliest stages of development, and are very proud to continue to support this popular and original showâ€, said Bonita Siegel, Director, Original Productions YTV.
Zixx: Level Three is the third season of the half-hour offering that blends live action with animation following the journey of Zixx Phunkee Zee (Barbara Mamabolo) as she tries to save the universe from evil aliens with the help of her team of human teens.
Season three continues the show’s successful meld of sci-fi thrills traveling through both a real-world setting and an original computer-generated animated world. The stakes are higher this season for the band of young allies – their enemies are stronger, their challenges greater and their quest more dangerous.

Daniel Cook, who has appeared as a special correspondent on the The Oprah Winfrey Show’s “Amazing Kids†episode as well as eTalk and ET Canada, has a brand new project, the This is Daniel Cook. Here we are! CD. This album, available on April 10, features 26 songs, including a special track Daniel co-wrote with Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies) called It’s Daniel Cook. The song first appeared on an episode of the hit show “This is Daniel Cookâ€, which airs in North America on Treehouse, TVOntario, Playhouse Disney, Knowledge Network, ACCESS and SCN.
Besides Ed Robertson, the This is Daniel Cook. Here we are! CD features vocal performances by Universal recording artist Melissa McClelland, Keith Macpherson (“Canadian Idol†and pop group Easily Amused) and “Canadian Idol†vocal coach Sarah Morrison. Melissa McClelland – who performed the original This is Daniel Cook Theme Song – provides vocals on a brand new extended version. The CD was mixed by Juno Award winner and Rush producer Terry Brown and also features some of Toronto’s top musicians.
In the award winning live action “This is Daniel Cook†show, host Daniel Cook explores, learns and creates with everyone from chocolatiers to musicians and from firefighters to dog trainers. The show captures the perspective of a young boy in a unique way that entertains and teaches. The inspiration for the songs on the CD came directly from the show, such as a freshly recorded version of Raffi’s If I Had a Dinosaur, which relates to the two episodes where Daniel Cook learns about his favourite dinosaur the Giganotosaurus and digs up dinosaur bones.
The CD is a collaboration between The Children’s Group and marblemedia distribution and is based on the hit TV series “This is Daniel Cook,†produced by marblemedia and Sinking Ship Productions. The album includes original songs, classic favourites such as Puff The Magic Dragon and The Candy Man and traditional children’s music. The CD is an eclectic mix of musical styles designed to introduce children (and their parents) to the wonderful sounds of classical, pop, big band, country, polka, hip hop, celtic and more.
The This is Daniel Cook. Here we are! CD is marketed by The Children’s Group, the leading presenter of storytelling and classical music and CDs for children. The CD is distributed in Canada and the United States by KOCH Entertainment Distribution. Suggested retail price: $15.99 in the U.S. / $13.99 in Canada. The CD is also available on Daniel’s website www.thisisdanielcook.com.
