Belgian’s leading family entertainment group Studio 100 and Little Airplane Productions, producers of hit shows such as ’The Wonder Pets’ and ‘Small Potatoes’ today announced plans to develop and co-produce a new animated pre-school series based on the hugely successful puppet-based television show, Bumba.
A hit since 2005, and recognized as the #1 pre-school brand in the Benelux, Bumba will be re-designed for the international market by Little Airplane and will include an educational curriculum that helps preschoolers develop Problem Solving Skills. The new series will be executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Josh Selig and will be produced entirely in his New York-based studio, Little Airplane Productions.
Redeveloped as a stylized, digital 2-D educational series, Bumba (52 x 11 mins) is a show about a lovable clown and his extraordinary circus. Each episode will explore a theme such as Vehicles, Music, Seasons, or Exercise and there will be educational content built into each episode to support a child's understanding of the episode's theme. The shows will be accompanied by richly scored original music under the direction of Little Airplane's Emmy Award-winning music department. |
