BooSnoo! (41 x 7’) and its star, the little red ball, are
rolling into nine more territories, in addition to the series’ home
on commissioning broadcaster Sky Kids in the U.K. and Ireland. In
the U.S., NBCU’s Peacock, FOX’s Tubi and Future Today’s HappyKids,
have taken Season 1 of the series for their platforms.
International Broadcasters picking up BooSnoo! include DR Denmark
(Season 1), EBS South Korea (Season 1 & 2), NRK Norway (Season
1 & 2), PCCW/NOW Hong Kong (Season 1), SVT Sweden (Season 1),
TVO Kids Canada (Season 1 & 2) and Canadian French-language
broadcaster Téléquebec (Season 1 & 2).
BooSnoo! is an incredibly inventive mixed-media, dialogue-free
series that encourages both neurodiverse and neurotypical kids ages
two and up to sit back, relax and follow the little red ball on an
exciting yet calming adventure. The series features amazing
landscapes that combine beautiful sights and sounds in every
episode while exploring themes like wheels, rainbows and music.
BooSnoo! was commissioned by Lucy Murphy, Director of Sky Kids for
Sky UK and Ireland. The Commissioning Editor for Sky is Ian
France.
BooSnoo! has also earned a four-star review and an official
Common Sense Selection for Families seal from U.S.-based nonprofit
Common Sense Media, whose ratings, research, and resources reach
approximately 150 million users worldwide and 1.2 million educators
per year. Common Sense Selections are made in recognition of
“outstanding entertainment with an official seal for quality and
impact… [they] include age-appropriate media with the potential to
spark family conversations, entertain families of all kinds, and
have a positive, lasting effect on society.”
CBC Kids and Sky Kids-commissioned Mittens & Pants (81 x 7’)
continues to grow its pawprint, finding more U.S. homes for its
first season on Tubi and public library-affiliated streamer Kanopy,
joining previously announced platforms Peacock, HappyKids,
Kidoodle.TV and Sensical. International broadcasters joining the
pack include beIN (MENA, Season 1), NRK (Norway, Season 1 & 2)
and Alibaba’s Youku (China, Season 1 &2). Additionally,
China-based content distributor Beijing 24 Bridges will be selling
both seasons of the series in the territory.
Mittens & Pants features best friends Mittens the kitten and
Pants the puppy who live in the all-animal town of Kibble Corners —
each day is a new adventure for these unlikely best friends. The
series is also currently available on CBC/CBC Gem (Canada), Sky
Kids (U.K., Ireland), France TV, Warner Bros. Discovery’s
Cartoonito, Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels (Australia, New
Zealand, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan), Hop! Channel
(Israel) and DR Denmark.
“With this latest group of sales, BooSnoo! and Mittens &
Pants continue to demonstrate the appeal to media platforms
worldwide of bespoke, niche original series made with the highest
production values,” said Richard Goldsmith, Thunderbird President
of Global Distribution & Consumer Products. “Each series is
truly unique amongst the wide range of content available in the
current market, and they both have tremendous potential to become
globally popular brands.”

Mittens & Pants at upcoming international sales market
