Tak & the Power of Juju - Tak Goes from Videogame Series to Nickelodeon TV Series...to DVD! June release for Tak and the Power of Juju - The Trouble With Magic
Posted by David Lambert	3/04/2008


Back in 2003, Avalanche Software and THQ released a videogame (for Playstation 2, Nintendo GameCube and GameBoy Advance) called Tak and the Power of Juju. The game was a hit, and spawned a couple of sequels; the Tak videogame series has done quite well, it seems! So this past year, in August 2007, Nickelodeon brought out a new animated CGI series based on the videogame, using the same name for the show as the original videogame release. Now Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Entertainment are bringing out the first DVD release from the TV series. Tak and the Power of Juju - The Trouble With Magic will be in stores on June 24th. There are no details about the contents available yet, but a running time is listed of approximately 1 hour. Since each broadcast episode on Nick is made up of two 11-minute cartoons, it sounds like we're going to get approximately 5 or 6 cartoons on this disc. Cost wasn't announced, either, but if we look at similar releases of Nick shows like Spongebob and Dora, we can expect a $16.99 list price. Below is the studio description of this show, exactly as provided in this morning's announcement. Stay tuned for updates with cover art, and anything solid we can get you about the contents and pricing! A clumsy kid in a primitive jungle tribe suddenly gets amazing magical powers, and creates chaos as he learns to use them. TAK AND THE POWER OF JUJU is a CGI slapstick comedy set in a fantastical jungle world. The series follows the Pupununu people, an unlucky, primitive tribe, and their struggle with the Jujus - ancient, mysterious magical beings who live among them. The only Pupununu who has Juju Powers is Tak, an impulsive kid whose main interest is goofing off with his friends. Tak's powers allow him to access magic usually only available to the Jujus. But Tak has had zero magical training. So instead of giving him success and respect, his powers -- combined with his over-active imagination, his awkwardness, and his plain bad luck -- always get Tak (and the villagers and even the Jujus) into outlandish trouble. This is a feature-quality CG show with dense backgrounds, and a lush, kinetic jungle environment. Its style and character design are different from anything else on Nick.
