Miguel Aldasoro, International Sales and Co-production Director at Ánima Kitchent said, “We are very excited to strengthen our presence in Turkey through this new partnership with Fauna Entertainment. It’s the first time Cleo & Cuquín will have a dedicated YouTube channel in the market, and we have full confidence in Fauna’s expertise to help our content thrive and reach even more families. Turkey is a key territory for us, and we can’t wait to see how kids there connect with Cuquín’s playful and curious world.”
Emre Aksoy, Chief Business Officer at Fauna said, “We are thrilled to partner with Ánima Kitchent to bring another global show to the Turkish market. Cleo & Cuquín is an adorable show that with no doubt will resonate very well with Turkish kids.”
Originally inspired by the 1960s highly successful Spanish children’s property ‘The Telerin Family’, Cleo & Cuquín launched in 2018, with a 78 x 7-minute series, which became the #1 preschool show in Mexico, Spain, and several Latin American countries at its TV premiere. The brand has also enjoyed huge success on YouTube where children’s songs and episodes featuring Cuquín have generated millions of views. Building on this momentum Ánima Kitchent has produced new content for digital platforms and VOD services, including a new Cuquín adventure comedy spin-off introducing adorable new characters such as Clementina, Cyan, Robi the robot, Trex the dinosaur, and Ghost the rabbit further strengthening the IP’s global appeal.
