Synopses:
Now living in a cozy Tuscan villa with his wife and their two children, Ezio Auditore spends his time enjoying the company of family, old friends and cultivating his vineyards. The life of this former Assassin Mentor will not stay quiet for long. One day a mysterious Assassin shows up at Ezio’s door quite unexpectedly, begging for Ezio’s aid. Will this old assassin’s fire die out before he can save the ones he love, or will it burn brightly one last time?

The UbiWorkshop group developed this movie using several of the same digital assets from Assassin’s Creed II, only reworking the main characters using a more traditional CG animation approach. While rebuilding the City of Florence in Embers the team used the same environment assets as the game, but we are able to generate a different aesthetic to them that gives us a unique feel for the movie.

Important for continuity purposes the voice talents are the same that are portraying the game characters, so for example Roger Craig Smith (Ezio Auditore) really invested himself in what would be his last performance in his most famous video game role. Anna Tuveri portrays Sofia, Ezio’s wife, a role she reprises from Assassin’s Creed Revelations. Angela Galuppo jumped on the great opportunity to portray Shao Jun, the new Chinese Assassin.

The 26 half hour episodes schedules consists of three seven minute segments will air worldwide excluding France (I don’t know why?). This exclusion seems weird to me as Ubisoft France is involved with the creation of the Rabbids and the production of the television series (along side Ubisoft Motion Pictures).

“Nickelodeon is one of the world’s leading entertainment brands for children and families, and Ubisoft is thrilled to be partnering with Nickelodeon to deliver unique television programming to its viewers,” said Jean-Julien Baronnet, chief executive officer of Ubisoft Motion Pictures. “As the world’s most recognized entertainment brand for children and families, Nickelodeon is the perfect vehicle to share the zany Rabbids characters and their crazy adventures with television audiences around the globe. This partnership represents a major milestone in Ubisoft’s strategy to expand its brands to new media, thereby attracting new audiences to its games.”

Catch the Rabbids in action:

Self-Defense Training Camp incorporates cardio, strength and reflex training, and meditation exercises intended to help players learn how to remain calm and composed in stressful situations and make reflexive decisions when put in dangerous situations.

What do you think? Is this something that you’ll use?
