Zodiak Kids announces further sales for its ground breaking preschool show Floogals into Australia, Italy and Scottish speaking UK. The series launched on Sprout, NBC Universal Cable Entertainment’s 24 hour preschool network, earlier this year. In Kids age 2-5, Floogals ranks #1 among all Sprout trackages.
Following the new sales, the Floogals will soon be available for viewers to watch on ABC in Australia, and Cartoonito and DeAJunior in Italy and BBC Alba for Gaelic speaking UK. NCircle has also picked up the DVD rights for North America.
Floogals is a groundbreaking mix of photoreal CGI, and the live action never seen before in preschool television. Fleeker, Flo and Boomer are pocket-sized alien adventurers on a mission to observe experience and detail the new and exciting world around them – Planet Earth! Arriving in their spaceship with a bump from the distant planet Floog, the Floogals are on a mission to document everything around them in the peculiar world of “hoomans”.
Whilst trying to keep their presence a secret, the innately inquisitive Floogals discover the wonders of our big, exciting and sometimes baffling world as we see it from their tiny perspective – four inches off the ground!
Floogals has already sold to Discovery Kids (Latin America), TVO & Knowledge Network (Canada), Hop! Channel (Israel), Spectrum Film (Indonesia), YLE (Finland), Canal Panda (Portugal) and MBC (Middle East). Floogals is based on an original idea from Dan Good and developed by Zodiak Kids Studios UK in conjunction with UK special effects studio Jellyfish Pictures and Nevision Limited who is the strategic investment partner in the series.
Licensees on board for Floogals include Just Play as master toy partners for the US & Canada. In addition, Jay Franco has recently been signed up for bedding and homeware in the US alongside Custom Personalization Solutions (CPS) for bespoke online Floogals products. Zodiak Kids own worldwide distribution and licensing rights to Floogals. Discovery Kids represent the licensing rights in Latin America.
