Brandora News - September 2008

Entertainment Rights (ER) a leading global entertainment media company whose growing portfolio includes some of the world’s most popular children’s, family and retro brands, today announced it has secured the UK Home Entertainment Rights to Frankenstein’s Cat. Produced by award winning Mackinnon & Saunders, this 30 x 11 minute animated comedy series targets 6 – 9 year olds.

The show is currently one of the top rating shows on CBBC and follows a unique friendship between a girl, Lottie, who doesn’t fit in and a cat called Nine whose body parts don’t fit together properly. As part of the deal ER has concluded the option to distribute further series and spin offs as the show develops.

ER is launching the first Frankenstein’s Cat dvd ‘The Cat From A Kit’ on October 20th which is timed to Halloween. The initial DVD will contain 8 x 11 minute episodes selected from the award winning TV series and will also contain bonus content including an interactive game.

Julia Mallinson, Director of Home Entertainment, Entertainment Rights, Plc, commented: “ER’s Home Entertainment Division is committed to acquiring new hot properties which are guaranteed to have a strong shelf life in the UK dvd market. Frankenstein’s Cat is already proven to be successful pulling in big audiences around the world on CBBC, France 3 and ABC (Australia). We are delighted to have acquired the rights to the brand and it is a perfect fit for ER’s kids and family programming portfolio, which spans over 3,600 hours of high quality content. The first DVD is likely to be a stocking filler ‘must have’ for kids at Christmas.”
