Production

In October 2010, Ubisoft and Aardman announced a partnership to produce a TV series pilot and several shorts based on the franchise.[2] One year later, it was announced that 78 animated episodes would be made solely by Ubisoft Motion Pictures, and would premiere on Nickelodeon.[3] On July 12, 2013, it was announced the series would premiere on Nickelodeon on August 3, 2013.[1] On December 17, 2013, Nickelodeon renewed the show for a second season of 26 half-hour blocks, with three episodes per block.[4] On June 16, 2015, Nickelodeon renewed the show for a third and final season.[5]

Broadcast

The series has aired on Nickelodeon in the United States, on YTV and Nickelodeon in Canada, on France 3, France 4 and Nickelodeon in France along with the rest of the world. It premiered on February 3, 2014[6] in the United Kingdom and Ireland and on January 28, 2014[7] in Australia and New Zealand.

Reception

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show two out of five stars, stating: "Rabbids Invasion tones down the violence for the characters' jump from gaming to the TV, but they still have a lot of fun at the expense of each other and of unsuspecting bystanders, and a lot of their antics would be frowned upon in the real world (using chickens' butts as egg shooters in a mock battle, for instance). Ultimately, though, it's rude, crude, and minimally taxing on viewers' sense of comprehension, so for better or worse, it's bound to appeal to the grade-school set."[8]

Video game

On E3 2013, it was announced that Rabbids Invasion would be adapted into an interactive TV series, titled Rabbids Invasion: The Interactive TV Show.[9] The game, which would combine existing television episodes with a series of mini challenges, was released on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4 in November 2014. Kinect or PlayStation Camera is required.[10]
