Traditional animated "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" series in development.

Halifax, Canada-based media company DHX Media has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Animation to adapt "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" into a "traditionally animated" TV series.

Under the deal, DHX will produce 26 30-minute episodes and handle worldwide TV sales and home entertainment rights outside the U.S. (Sony will handle U.S. home entertainment). No network has yet picked up the show, but DHX plans to market it to both traditional and digital broadcasters.

DHX owns the Canadian children's network Family Channel, the Canadian versions of Disney Junior and Disney XD, and oversees properties such as Yo Gabba Gabba! Yo Gabba Gabba!
