Nelvana Enterprises has reached an agreement with Chorion to become the Canadian licensing agent for its MR. MEN and LITTLE MISS brand, to include merchandise such as apparel and accessories, toys and novelty items, as well as live stage shows and character appearances.
Based on the classic 1970s book series by British author Roger Hargreaves, the property has a global presence with both children and adults.
The animated television series, THE MR. MEN SHOW, features an ensemble of 25 characters such as Mr. Bump and Little Miss Sunshine, and uses an innovative sketch comedy format. The television series has been sold in 18 territories worldwide and recently launched in Canada on Corus' kids specialty network, YTV.
Representatives from Nelvana Enterprises will be in attendance at the Licensing International Expo (Booth 2211) in Las Vegas this June to discuss opportunities for the MR. MEN and LITTLE MISS brand in Canada. In the interim, interested licensees can contact Carly D'Eon, Manager, North American Licensing, at carly.deon@corusent.com.
