September 3, 2004 -- Tiny Wonderlens Studios lands big Taco Bell toy deal.

How big? Try 2.85 million toys, all based on characters created by Wonderlens Studios and featured on their independently released DVD, Wonderlens presents: Aquarium of the Aliens. Participating Taco Bell locations throughout the U.S. will be distributing six different Wonderlens toys as part of a kids' meal promo over a period of roughly six weeks, starting Labor Day weekend, 2004.

Each toy comes with a passport and secret code, giving kids (of all ages) access to the Club Wonderlens website at wonderlens.com for games, downloads and plenty of alien arts & spacecrafts.

Wonderlens Studios, based about an hour south of Los Angeles, is releasing an Ultra Mega Really Really Special Edition of their DVD to coincide with the promotion. The special edition has new animation, is fully remastered and has extensive new bonus features. Among them is an Alien Toy Laboratory, which shows kids how to create dozens of inventive alien paper toys. All the materials needed are supplied on the DVD.

So how small is Wonderlens Studios? Two people � an Emmy Award winning husband and wife animation team. But what they lack in numbers, they make up for with experience, having built memorable cg characters including Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and his cg parents, Casper the Friendly Ghost and the Ghostly Trio, Thing (Addams Family) and the planet-devouring Galactus from Marvel's Silver Surfer. The duo also produced a 3D IMAX movie, Santa vs the Snowman revisiting IMAX theaters this holiday season.
