HARI Greenlights 3DCG Animated Preschool Series ‘Baby Lemmings’

Major broadcasters including Warner Bros. Discovery, France Television and Super RTL have acquired the rights for the series, which stars the adorable critters from its global hit series ‘Grizzy & The Lemmings.’

Paris-based HARI has greenlit Baby Lemmings, a “gentle-slapstick” 3DCG animated series starring the adorable critters from its global hit series Grizzy & The Lemmings. The show targets preschoolers and their families.

In the series, for the Baby Lemmings, the whole world is a playground, and there’s nothing better than sharing this life philosophy with their little animal neighbors in the Canadian forest. When you see life from the Baby Lemmings’ side, you can overcome any difficulty and have a whole lot of fun while doing so!

Josselin Charier of HARI said, “At first glance, blending the craziness of slapstick with the gentle nature of preschool content seemed an impossible task. However, it's in the core DNA of the lemmings to be playful. And it’s through this boundless playfulness that we discovered the perfect formula for a preschool audience: stories where any challenge can be overcome through games.”

Aurélie Wack, Warner Bros. Discovery, Kids EMEA, Acquisitions & Co-Productions Sr. Manager added, "We’re very excited to continue our partnership with Hari for this brand-new animated series, Baby Lemmings. It is perfect for our Cartoonito and Max upper-preschool audiences who can count on the playful baby lemmings to bring endless fun and heart-warming moments!"

The upcoming series follows the global success of Grizzy & The Lemmings, now broadcast in 200 territories globally. The show delivers outstanding ratings on TV channels around the world and generates 1.3 billion views per year on YouTube (with 9 million subscribers). 

France Televisions commissioned the series for Okoo and France 4, while Warner Bros. Discovery secured the rights for Cartoonito and Max in EMEA, Cartoonito in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as Cartoon Network in South Asia. Super RTL licensed the rights in Germany for Toggo.

HARI will deliver 78 7-minute episodes through 2025/26.
