Sinking Ship Entertainment (Canada) is highlighting at MIPjunior a vast catalogue of new products with special emphasis on its new animated, 4-6 years old series Alma’s Way, starring six-year-old Bronx-born Puerto Rican girl Alma Rivera and her fast-paced city life. Produced by Fred Roges Production, the show premiered on PBS KIDS on October 4 with the presentation of its creator, the Latino actress and writer, Sonia Manzano (Sesame Street).
In Cannes, distributor is also offering Odd Squad Mobile Unit is a live-action comedy about kid agents who are equipped with the world’s most advanced and unpredictable gadgetry and The Demon Headmaster, whose irresistible hypnotic powers force them to obey his every command without realizing (or even noticing!) why they were behaving so strangely.
The Fabulous Show with Fay and Fluffy is an amazing story time cabaret for kids and families, inspiring a love of reading and encouraging messages of choosing kindness and empathy towards one another through community, story, song and silliness; and My Home, My Life invites the audience into the homes of children from diverse backgrounds to share a snapshot of their lives and families.
Kate Sanagan, head of sales and distribution: ‘We are looking to expand Alma’s Way brand across Latin America, while working on a few new titles in development including the new series aimed at 10 – 14 year olds, Dance Spies with Northern Pictures. We expect the shows brought to Cannes to be of great interest to our international buyers’.
SSE arrives to MIPJunior with strong deals closed recently: a new licensing agency partnership for Dino Dana with Exim Licensing in Mexico, and Mon Entertainment for Central America; and new productions, the live action series Jane with the Jane Goodall Institute for Apple TV +, and a new animated series, The Builder Brothers, in partnership with Scott Brothers Entertainment for Corus Entertainment.
