Singapore – Ying Group and WDR Mediagroup (WDRmg) are delighted to announce their collaboration to bring Europe’s award-winning children’s shows exclusively to the Southeast Asian and Korean markets. The partnership was initiated during MIPCOM 2016 and signed in July 2017.

The exciting repertoire of shows includes Maus, Elefantastic, Trude’s Flatmate, The Little Mole, and Bobo. The shows are designed for preschoolers and kids to combine fun with learning through quirky mascot Maus and big & furry Trude’s Flatmate, an inquisitive and loveable monster.

The Little Mole – a witty & cheeky mole, teaches the kids to be friendly, helpful and environmentally conscious. The adorable blue elephant in Elefantastic sparks curiosity and creativity, while Bobo, the naughty dormouse, makes growing up exciting by taking his young audience along on his adventures.

Maus (Kids / 50 x 11 mins) is Germany’s longest running TV show and has been the official partner of the International Emmy Kids Awards since 2014. The TV series has won over 100 awards, including the Prix Jeunesse International (2014) and a Gold Medal at the New York Festival (2006).

Elefantastic (Preschool / 26 x 11 mins) has won several international awards, including Ciak Junior (2013), IFF International Family Film Festival Award (2011), and the Japan Prize (2010).

Bonnie Wiryani of the Ying group says: “We look forward to working closely with WDR mediagroup to bring fresh, exciting, and innovative content to kids and pre-school audiences. We have no doubt that kids and families across Asia will also fall in love with these edutainment shows.”
