The film was a mix of 3D and normal animation but the series, aptly titled "The Hairy Tooth Fairy: The Series" will be completely 3D, said Filmax Animation executive Francisco Rodriguez.

A sequel to film also is currently being made by director Andres Schaer and will be released in 2008. The series is expected to be completed in 2009-10.

"We have a brand. We have to keep it alive," Rodriguez explained.
