Disney Junior has acquired UYoung and Little Airplane Productions’ brand new pre-school comedy series P. King Duckling (52 x 11”) for several of its global territories including Disney Junior U.S., Latin America, India, Korea and South East Asia. The deal, brokered by experienced children’s media executive Sander Schwartz on behalf of UYoung and Little Airplane, will see the series air across Disney Junior channels in late 2016.

As part of the deal, Disney Junior China has snapped up non-exclusive secondary rights to the show, which will air on its Little Dragon Club programming block from next year.

P. King Duckling was created by Emmy Award-winning preschool TV producer Josh Selig of Little Airplane Productions in collaboration with James Chen Gu, General Manager of UYoung Animation. The series is being directed by UYoung’s Creative Director, Eddy Bo Fan, and is being Executive Produced by James Chen Gu and Josh Selig. UYoung owns the global TV and licensing rights for the show.

Currently in production and aimed at kids aged 2-7, P. King Duckling follows the feathery adventures of an extremely intrepid, but slightly hapless, young duck and his two best friends, Chumpkins and Wombat.
