Commissioned by TELETOON in Canada, the series is aimed at kids 6-11 years and is created by Brad Peyton, best known for directing Cats & Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Josh Scherba, SVP Distribution at DHX Media, said: "We have assembled a stellar line-up of channels for this series internationally, along with a strong broadcaster domestically in TELETOON. Brad Peyton has created a riotous comedy perfectly fitting for the 6-11 demographic and with demonstrable international appeal."
Dr. Dimensionpants follows Kyle Lipton, who, for all his life was just like the other kids – playful, happy and without a care in the world until one day an inter-dimensional portal opened up and dropped onto his lap a pair of Glowing Pants! Now Kyle is Dr. Dimensionpants, a super-hero with a super intense attitude who must deal with the constant threat of inter-dimensional villains bent on destroying the Universe! Okay, not the universe but his hometown of Ganderville, which is like the universe to a 12-year-old boy.
