French animation production and distribution company Dandelooo has signed several deals for the 2D preschool series Little Bear (39 x 7’), commissioned by France Televisions and produced by French animation company Supamonks Studio. Season 2 of Little Bear (78 x 7’) was recently greenlit with new episodes starting at the end of 2021. The full second season will be available in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Targeted at 4 to 7-year-olds, the series is directed by Matthieu Gaillard and based on the picture books by French author and illustrator Benjamin Chaud. The show features Little Bear, a mischievous, cheerful, and playful bear that delights his best friend Rita and his parents. With his extraordinarily active imagination, every moment of every day becomes a crazy adventure or an ‘extra’-ordinary friendship.
The recent distribution deals will bring the series to BBC Alba; French Canadian public media company TFO; Brazilian TV network Globo; Narrative Capital’s kids channel Tiny Pop in the UK; Kidstream (U.S.A.); Carousel (Russia); Czeska Televize (Czech Republic); OCS (France); Good TV (Taiwan); Pineapple TV (Nigeria); RTVS (Slovenia); Pakapaka (Argentina); MTVA (Hungary); LTV Latvia; and DSmart (Turkey). Broadcasters already on board include France Televisions; SVT (Sweden); YLE (Finland); SRF (German-speaking Switzerland); RTS (French-speaking Switzerland); and TV5 Monde.
“It’s so heart-warming to see Little Bear making his paw mark around the globe,” commented Dandelooo co-founder Emmanuèle Pétry Sirvin. “His fun-filled adventures coupled with his mischievousness promises not only to entertain but to educate preschoolers around the world.”
