Myxer and Mass Animation Team for First-Ever Movie Launch in Theaters and on Mobile
Deerfield Beach, FL and Los Angeles, CA – Myxer, the leader in mobile entertainment with 27 million users, and Mass Animation, the largest global animation collaboration ever, announced today the availability of the Live Music mobile content channel on Myxer (www.myxer.com/livemusic). The companies are partnering in the first ever “day and date” theatrical and mobile release with Live Music appearing on 500 digital screens nationwide on November 20th in front of Sony Pictures’ release of Planet 51 and on mobile via Myxer’s content delivery platform the same day.
Live Music is brought to you by the team behind the Academy Award winning animated short, “The Chubb Chubbs” (2002) and the Executive Producer of this year’s animated hit Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It started with the creation of a virtual studio on Facebook and an open invitation to artists around the world to collaborate in the making of an animated short film. Over 58,000 fans worldwide joined the community with 51 finalist animators from 17 countries credited in the film.
“Myxer is thrilled to be part of the ground-breaking collaboration, Live Music, as it ties in with so many of our passions---music, innovation and content contributions from tens of thousands of individuals,” said Myk Willis, CEO of Myxer. “The mobile entertainment industry continues to evolve at such a rapid pace; we’re excited to part of this first-ever simultaneous release in theaters and on mobile.”
“When we were looking for a mobile partner we were looking for great technology, a large consumer audience and a passionate team to support us and Myxer has been the perfect partner,” said Yair Landau, founder of Mass Animation, director of Live Music and former Sony Pictures’ Vice Chairman. “We’re very excited about offering our Live Music fans the ability to purchase the movie for their mobile phones on the same day we are releasing the movie nationwide in theaters. Our fans can enjoy some free mobile content from the movie starting today.”
