From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:
"Mercury Filmworks has announced they’re currently developing an animated series based on the Argentinian comic strip Macanudo, created by cartoonist Ricardo Liniers Siri, who signs as Liniers. King Features Syndicate, who translates and distributes the strip in the US, is co-producing alongside Mercury in Canada and Sun Creature in France.
The premise of Macanudo is that two children living in Nuevo Aires, Henrietta and Martincito, possess imaginations so powerful that it gives them the special ability to see the invisible, magical world underlying the lives of children everywhere. This power is called “Macanudo,” giving the strip its name. In its native country, the strip is super popular and has been printed in over 50 books.
“We are lucky to partner with an amazing cartoonist like Liniers to develop this beloved comic property beyond print and into entertainment,” said C.J. Kettler, President of King Features. “The extraordinarily talented team – including Andrea Fernandez, Mercury Filmworks and Sun Creature Studio – will bring Macanudo: The Series to life, making audiences worldwide fall in love with its fanciful characters and finding wonder in everyday moments of life.”"
