9 Story Entertainment announces CiTV UK has renewed the hit animated children’s comedy series Almost Naked Animals (52 x 22’) for a 3rdseason. The series, produced and distributed by 9 Story, was recently nominated for a BAFTA Kids’ Vote Award (www.baftakidsvote.org).

Almost Naked Animals is a joyously irreverent animated comedy series, featuring an oddly lovable assortment of free-spirited animals in their underwear, who run a beach-front hotel like kids at a summer camp – doing their best to make each day more fun than the last. Lead dog and hotel manager Howie, who has the attention span of an 11 year old in a video arcade, heads the dysfunctional but extremely humorous ensemble cast.
