Animaccord takes Masha and the Bear and new offering Fairy-teens to MIPCOM

Posted on by

Animaccord will be presenting both its popular animated series Masha and the Bear and its latest offering, Fairy-teens, at this year’s MIPCOM.

Fairy-teens, a new rapidly expanding 3D CGI fantasy and adventure series created by Dmitry Loveiko, co-producer of Masha and the Bear, follows the story of five little fairies who train to control their magical powers, cope with the dangers of the world around them, and interact with each other. Gradually, the little sorceresses learn that they are destined for an unusual and very responsible role, and the fate of the whole fairy world may depend on their actions. The show targets girls aged 6–8 and includes two Seasons of 26 X 11 min episodes.

Among the project’s strong brand identity and unique attributes are the multi-tiered horizontal story (fantasy plus sitcom), insightful and ‘edutainment’ storylines, multicultural context and musical involvement – one of the more important aspects of the series. The orchestral themes are designed specifically for each fairy and episode, while the music is available on major music platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music and Deezer.

The show is widely broadcast on TV and VOD platforms in CIS, as well as rapidly growing on two branded YouTube channels, cumulating in over 54M views. The new episodes are uploaded to the Fairy-teens YouTube site once a month while FairyteensPlay features Let’s play videos with Fairy-teens toys.

Moreover, the project is acting on tech-driven content including the Fay.net digital eco-system that emulates the Fairy-teens universe, allowing for interaction with the target audience, as well as a 3D Fairy Colouring app, 3D Fairy Colouring, both of which are available on AppStore and Google Play.

 

Studio 100 to handle licensing, merchandising, and global distribution for new CGI comedy FriendZSpace

Posted on by

Studio 100 Group is the handle the licensing and merchandising programme, as well as the worldwide distribution of a new CGI animated series called FriendZSpace, a comedy adventure series about three human children who are dedicated to making friends with young aliens from across the universe.

The project is the work of a collaboration between Studio 100 and T&B Media Global in partnership with Flying Bark Productions. The trio will be presenting the series at this year’s MIPCOM Rendezvous Cannes.

Created by Dan Clark (“Team Smithereen”, Disney and “Yo Gabba Gabba”, Nick Jr.) and Oscar Covar (“Team Smithereen”, Disney and “Tasty Tales of The Food Truckers”, T&B) – the first season is set for delivery in 2021.

Jwanwat “Dr. Tan” Ahriyavraromp, founder and CEO at T&B Media Global, said: “Every new friend is a new window into a world totally unknown to us. It is my hope that FriendZSpace will show our young viewers how to connect with the wonderful tapestry of humanity that we share this planet with.”

Dan Clark, executive producer and co-creator of FriendZSpace, added: “FriendZSpace is about three human kids traveling from planet to planet for the sole purpose of befriending dozens of funny and cool alien kids. The production itself is based across Thailand, Australia, Germany, Mexico, and the US, mirroring the series itself. Many cultures, much creativity, all working remotely (Covid-style), sharing a positive vision and, most importantly, making new friends.”

Martin Krieger, CEO at Studio 100 Media, concluded: “Many shows circle around ‘having’ friends. With FriendZSpace the core of the show is how to find friends. It’s very easy to make friends with others who are just like you, but it’s so rewarding to make friends with completely unique people – even if they are aliens in all shapes and sizes.

“Making friends as the essence of the show means being open, showing kids that they should have fun exploring diverse perspectives on life, cultures, ideas and people. This is what enthused us about FriendZSpace, right from the very beginning. With such ingenious creators like Dan Clark and Oscar Covar, together with T&B Media Global and Flying Bark Productions, we are excited about FriendZSpace – a brand-new show that is literally reaching for the stars.”
