Cosmic Quantum Ray is a CGI-animated television series. The series premiered in the United States on November 5, 2007, on Animania HD,[1] then in 2009 in Germany on KI.KA, and then later on October 10, 2010, on The Hub. It also aired on Science Channel as part of a sneak peek of the latter.[2]
Synopsis
The story centers on teenager Robbie Shipton, who possesses a shoe box leading to the Ninth Dimension, the home of Quantum Ray. Robbie joins Team Quantum, a team of heroes responsible for stopping the many antagonists of the show, such as Professor Evil Brainhead and his hamster mother-figure named Mother, from carrying out their plans. He also attends school in the ordinary dimension, and occasionally characters from the two dimensions end up meeting with each other.
Production
Although produced by Germany's KI.KA[3] and France's M6, the show was written in English, the writing supervised by Head Writers/Co-producers and Emmy winners Pamela Hickey and Dennys McCoy. In 2009, the series beat out Nickelodeon, Disney and Cartoon Network to win the Pulcinella Award for Best TV Series.[4] The series was created by cosmologist Dr. Mani Bhaumik. Hickey and McCoy based all their stories on principles and theories from quantum physics, and Dr. Bhaumik provided the math. Cosmic Quantum Ray is a comedy/science-fiction adventure that, at the end of each episode, explains the quantum physics associated with a story and/or physical gags found within the series.
