Zeke's Pad is an animated TV show produced by Bardel Entertainment and Leaping Lizard Productions in 2008.[1] It is to make its Canadian premiere on YTV on Saturday, January 9, 2010 at 7pm. It is about the adventures of a 14-year old skateboarder and artist named Zeke who owns a magic electronic pad that brings life to anything he draws on it.
Synopsis
Zeke Palmer is an incredible artist and skateboarder who lives with a weird and wacky family. His pad is an amazing electronic gadget that is a mobile phone, PDA, GPS, MP3 player and a drawing tablet all rolled into one. Zeke's pad has a unique glitch: any thing he draws comes to life. Being a creative artist that he is, Zeke is constantly drawing and making his drawings come to life. But soon enough, Zeke learns for every action there is a reaction. Things just never turn out the way Zeke had ever imagined...
Broadcast History
Before its Canadian premiere on YTV, the show has been broadcast in over a dozen countries: Australia (Seven Network), Germany (ZDF), France on (Canal+ Familie), Poland (ZigZap), India and Sri Lanka (Sun TV), Spain (Televiso de Catalunya), Latin America (Cartoon Network) and the Middle East (UPC). Zeke's Pad was nominated for the prestigious Australian Film Institute Award for Best Children's Television Animation in 2009.[2]At the 2009 Elan Awards, which honours achievements in video games, animation and visual effects, Zeke's Pad took home Best Animation TV Production and Best Art Direction awards.[3]
Characters
Zeke Palmer (Voiced by Michael Adamthwaite): Zeke Palmer is a talented and creative fourteen year-old artist/skateboarder. He is a guy who follows his own path-however wiggly and weird it may get. Most importantly, Zeke is a risk taker. He is totally into making his ideas happen, and thanks to his Pad, boy do they happen. But, he is also inherently short sighted. The term action equals reaction is something he is blind to. Because of his over-enthusiasm about his own creative ideas, Zeke must deal with the consequences of his actions, often with hilarious outcomes.
Jay Fritter (Voiced by Tim Hamaguchi): Jay is Zeke's best friend. Jay's computer knowledge and technical wizardry often help Zeke out of a jam. Jay is the only person who knows about the special power of Zeke's Pad, and boy, does he wish the pad was his!
Rachel Palmer (Voiced by Chiara Zanni): She is Zeke's annoying 12 year-old sister who is an uber drama queen, turning every moment into a gripping monologue, all for her love of the theatre.
Ike Palmer (Voiced by Trevor Devall): Zeke's 17 year-old brother is a star athlete who is all about the training. He tries one weird training and diet program after another to obtain peak physical fitness.
Ida Palmer (Voiced by Tabitha St. Germain): Zeke's mom is a quick change artist with panache, whether she is in stripes refereeing a sibling squabble or leading a cleaning inspection in her white lab coat. Organization and order is the order of the day.
Alvin Palmer (Voiced by Trevor Devall): Zeke's dad has two true loves, music and his wife Ida. He lives with his head in a musical cloud and depends on Ida to manage the rest.
