Beyond Distribution is set to launch Pipsqueaks at MIP Junior; a new preschool children’s series hosted by four funny furry puppet friends. Co-produced by Beyond Screen Production and the Seven Network Australia, the first series (45 x 30′) will be closely followed by a second series already commissioned.
Series producer and director at Beyond Screen Production, Ian Munro, commented, “We invited more than a hundred kids to come in and chat with the Pipsqueaks and as a result we have the most wonderful and entertaining mix of conversations in each show. It never ceased to amaze me how relaxed and natural little kids are when they’re chatting with puppets.”
The Pipsqueaks – Peppy, Sassy, Poppy and Squidge, live in a huge adventure playground. The Pipsqueaks love to sing and dance and the catchy dance songs involve simple choreography for kids to follow at home. The puppets have fun discovering new things with the help of the kids who visit. The show focuses on children at play and how they talk and think about the world around them.
Munia Kanna-Konsek, Head of Sales for Beyond Distribution, added, “Combining education with entertainment has always proven to be a winner for us and is especially popular with the pre-school audience”.
Previous children’s titles produced by Beyond Screen Production include Toybox , Milly Molly and Lab Rats Challenge.
