POKO (32x30) is a stop-motion animation series. The light-hearted, pre-school series follows a fun-loving three-year-old, who is just beginning to discover the world around him with his dog, Minus, and his stuffed toy, Mr. Murphy.

PEEP & THE BIG WIDE WORLD (26x30) is a Flash animation series that brings animated stories, science and the wonders of the world to a preschool audience. Starring a newly hatched chick and his friends, Peep celebrates being curious, being adventurous and the excitement of discovering the world.

CONNIE THE COW (104x7 or 34x30) follows a restless and curious, cow, who lives on a farm with her nurturing mother, who is always at hand to offer advice, and her father, a very strong, yet calm and reassuring bull. Connie just cannot resist poking her nose into everything, which always results in funny situations.

HENRY’S WORLD (26x30) is a stop-motion series and is the winner of the 2003 Alliance for Children and Television Award of Excellence for Animation programs for ages 3-5 years. HENRY’S WORLD tells the story of Henry Wiggins, an eight-year-old boy who has amazing powers whenever he eats his mother’s mushy carrots.

In addition, Alliance Atlantis announced it has secured a U.S. broadcast deal with ABC Family in addition to a Canadian broadcast deal with CBC for its new children’s CGI animated property, DRAGON BOOSTER. The show follows Artha Penn, an ordinary teenager who is plunged into an incredible adventure when he is chosen to ride Beaucephalis, the dragon of legend.
