With a global budget of Euro 8.37 million envisaged by DQE, this iconic property was co-developed and being produced by DQE and Classic Media, USA, the original rights owners, as a 52x11' TV series.

The project was green signalled by ABC Australia for acquisition and ZDF Group - the German broadcaster and distributor as a co-producer.

In a statement, DQ Entertainment Chairman and CEO Tapaas Chakravarti said ''our association with Classic Media, after the successful debut of hi-end CGI ''Casper's Scare School'', now gets into another long term artistically fruitful relationship with the co-development of this heart-warming TV series in 3D animation.'' ''What makes Lassie's new adventures fantastic and unique are the two realities in the series 'The Human World' and the 'Animal World'.

This endearing canine will win hearts and charm audiences all over again. We are happy to continue our long-term relationship with Classic Media Group to animate and bring to life brands like Casper and now Lassie! With a green light from ZDF Group and acquisition by ABC, Lassie is all set to debut worldwide by the beginning of summer 2011.''
