Hot girls' toy is back with a whole new attitude
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, Calif. - June 1, 2005 - Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today announced the signing of the Sky Dancers license. Sky Dancers quickly became the #1 girls' toy around the world when first introduced in 1994, and was featured in McDonald's Happy Meals and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The 2005 relaunch delivers a whole new look and an animated DVD series where the characters and world of Sky Dancers come alive for a whole new generation..
"Girls are playing videogames more than ever before, so it makes sense to extend the Sky Dancers brand to gaming consoles," says John Gentile, President of Abrams Gentile Entertainment. "Crave knows how to reach the mass consumer market."
"Sky Dancers have been a huge hit with girls everywhere," says Rob Dyer, president and chief operating officer of Crave Entertainment. "With a fresh look and attitude, a new generation of girls can enjoy playing Sky Dancers videogames."
Sky Dancers are back with a whole new look and attitude and flying higher than ever before! Over 20 million original Sky Dancers sold worldwide, and rocketed to the top of the Toy Book "What's Hot" list. The brand will relaunch in 2005 with a master toy introduction from PlayAlong, makers of the mega-successful Care Bears and Cabbage Patch brands, as well as the first ever DVD launch of the Sky Dancers animated series.
