Simon’s Cat has now spent 15 years as one of YouTube’s most mischievous little felines. Now, the animated animal is expanding its reach in the field of licensing. Its parent firm Banijay Brands (which is part of Paris-based media empire Banijay Group) has extended its partnership with Tactile Games, which will create more mobile titles inspired by Simon’s Cat.
Banijay and Tactile have inked a six-year deal that will give the publisher the licensing rights for Simon’s Cat games. So far, Tactile has launched three titles based on Simon Tolfield‘s animated, four-legged troublemaker. Those games have the themed titles Crunch Time, Pop Time, and Story Time, and they’ve combined to collect more than 20 million downloads in all.

The late producer Gerry Anderson's final movie will be completed by his son Jamie Anderson.
Gerry - most famous for his work on Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet - began working on a project called A Christmas Miracle prior to his death in 2012.
The producer's battle with Alzheimer's disease left A Christmas Miracle unfinished, but now his son will revive the movie using computer animation.
A Christmas Miracle will tell the story of an invasion of aliens demanding that earth hand over Santa Claus.
Jamie is expected to pitch the project to investors at the British Film Institute in London on Wednesday (March 4).
Mark Woollard (Captain Scarlet) will direct A Christmas Miracle.
A new series based on Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Thunderbirds franchise will also be premiering in April on ITV and Citv in the UK, in addition to a crowd-funded Firestorm project being in the works.

Exclusive: A Christmas Miracle was in the works before the British filmmaker died in 2012.
The last feature film project from the late Gerry Anderson - creator of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 - is in advanced development and may move into pre-production later this year.
The $46.5m (£30m) computer animated feature, titled Gerry Anderson’s A Christmas Miracle, was first hatched by the British filmmaker in 2004. Anderson died in 2012.
“It was his baby,” said his son Jamie Anderson, who is producing the film through family company Anderson Entertainment alongside Mark Sherwood.
The original version of the screenplay was completed around 2006. Heavyweight screenwriter Stuart Beattie (Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) is now in talks to rework the screenplay.
Executive producer is Daniel Pickering and director Mark Woollard, who worked on the 2005 CGI reboot of Captain Scarlet. Veteran producer Iain Smith has been “helping and assisting” on the project.
