Cartoon Network Enterprises and Activision Partner to Release Interactive Game Based on the Hit Television Series Generator Rex

First-Time Partnership Between Companies Will Bring to Market Multiplatform Release Based on Cartoon Network Original Series in Fall 2011

Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE), the global licensing and merchandising arm of the television network, announced today that it has partnered with Activision Publishing, Inc., a leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure products, to create the first-ever interactive title for the hit action-adventure series, Generator Rex. The untitled game will be based on the series that stars Rex, a 15-year-old super agent who has the ability to grow incredible mechanical weapons and vehicles from his own body, and is scheduled to be released in North America in fall 2011 for the Wii(TM), PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Nintendo DS(TM), and PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system. This marks the first partnership between the two companies.

"Since its strong broadcast debut, Generator Rex continues to perform as a top-rated program on Cartoon Network and has both resonated with fans and shown great potential in the consumer products space," said Christina Miller, senior vice president, CNE. "Together with Activision, we look forward to creating an interactive game that brings to life the action and fun of the series through an immersive, top-notch video game that allows fans to become Rex and operate his many weapons."

"We are thrilled with the early success that Generator Rex is having on Cartoon Network and excited to begin development on what we think will be a must have video game in the fall of 2011," said David Oxford at Activision. "Cartoon Network is a great company with great properties and we look forward to bringing the fans of Generator Rex a first-class gaming experience."

Activision joins a roster of industry-leading launch partners for Generator Rex, which will debut in the spring with a full toy line from Mattel, Inc., the property's global toy partner, that includes action figures, playsets, role-play items, and more, and will be available across all tiers of retail. Also next fall, a comprehensive line of party supplies featuring Generator Rex will be created by Hallmark, through a portfolio deal between the two companies. CNE will also release the inaugural title in the Generator Rex home entertainment franchise on October 19 from Warner Home Video, and DC Comics recently launched the first in a series of comic books based on the series.

The newest action-adventure original series from Cartoon Network, Generator Rex is created by Man of Action (creators of the Ben 10 franchise) and produced at Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, CA. New episodes from the series' first season currently debut on Cartoon Network on Fridays at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT), with replays on Saturday mornings. The network has committed to at least 40 episodes of the series. The brand is also supported by a massive online machine that includes the Nanite Master game featured at CartoonNetwork.com that has had more than 6.9 million game plays since its launch in March (source: Omniture SiteCatalyst data), as well as a show page (www.generator-rex.com) and a Facebook fan page.
