Paddle Pop Adventures, also known as Max Adventures, is a Thai animated television series that saw its first release in 2005. Based on the mascot of the Australian ice cream brand Paddle Pop from manufacturer Streets, named the Paddle Pop Lion, the series was produced by The Monk Studios and Egg Story Studios (in 2013-2014) and is owned by the British-Dutch company Unilever. The series was used to promote the brand worldwide.
It was launched in more than 33 countries including Indonesia, Spain, France, India, Italy, Portugal and Brazil. In Australia, the series was called Paddle Pop Adventures, where each season was condensed into a single movie.
Paddle Pop: Cyberion was the first appearance of Paddle Pop in CGI, released in 2007, with the rest of the series following this trend. Paddle Pop: Kombatei was released in 2009 as 13 episodes under the original title Max Adventures. Each episode ranged around the 8 minute mark. Following serial releases such as Paddle Pop: Begins and Paddle Pop: Magilika were also as short episodes, which were later condensed into films. The films were dubbed from Indonesian into English and renamed from Max Adventures to Paddle Pop Adventures for an Australian audience.
In Brazil, the episodes for Paddle Pop: Begins (2011) and following releases were adapted by Unilever to be aired on Nickelodeon. In Indonesia, Paddle Pop: Begins was released in cinema in 2011. In 2012, Begins and following serial releases were condensed and renamed to the precursor title Petualangan Singa Pemberani and released in Indonesian movie theatres such as Cinema XXI in 2D, 3D and 4D formats.
