SPIDER RIDERS is gaining widespread recognition for being the first-ever North American-Japanese anime series co-production. The SPIDER RIDERS co-production team includes Cookie Jar Entertainment and leading Japanese advertising agency, Yomiko, together with acclaimed Japanese animation studio, Bee Train. The series is produced under Cookie Jar Entertainment' action-adventure brand Coliseum.
SPIDER RIDERS follows the adventures of 11-year-old Hunter Steele who is suddenly transported into the fantastic subterranean world of Arachna, a land of eternal day where the sun is earth's molten core and waterfalls flow towards the sky. Trapped in this world, Hunter discovers a lost civilization. Struggling to survive and locked in battle with the Invectids – giant humanoid insects determined to wipe out human life – the people of Arachna are fearlessly protected by a group of elite warriors who ride aloft 10-foot tall Battle Spiders – the SPIDER RIDERS. In the city of Arachna , Prince Lumen's royal army defends the people – and Hunter and his spider Shadow are determined to help their cause. The stage is set for an epic battle and quest that follows Hunter, Shadow and their small team of warriors as they hone their skills to win their fight against the evil Invectids. In classic anime style, SPIDER RIDERS focuses on the everyday boy who becomes a great SPIDER RIDER warrior encountering field battles, competition – and gains friends along the way.
“SPIDER RIDERS is the type of series that production companies dream about. With its rich characters, compelling storylines and groundbreaking imagery, SPIDER RIDERS is taking the popular anime form to new heights of entertainment for both the worlds of television and online gaming We are excited to team with leading kids' broadcaster KIDS' WB! as the broadcast home for this extraordinary animé series,” said Cookie Jar Entertainment's COO and President Toper Taylor.
