Sweet Power

Possibly the only promotional poster in existence.

***Sweet Power*** (also known as **Sweetpower**) was a planned 2D animated series under the ZAG Toon brand. It was originally a co-production with Inspidea and Studio Hibari. Because there's very little news about the series since it was first announced in 2010 on the ZAG website and it was later removed from the website in 2013, it's possible that the show got cancelled.
