TV-Loonland is pleased to announce that it has secured various deals within the Spanish territory for its multi award winning animation series LITTLE PRINCESS, produced by The Illuminated Film Company. Deals were closed with proven partners over a wide range of platforms providing LITTLE PRINCESS with a perfect exposure in her quest to conquer Spain. On the TV front, Free TV rights were licensed to TVE Spain and Cartoon Network Spain acquired the Pay TV rights for the pre-school series. LITTLE PRINCESS is set to premiere soon on TVE’s LA 2. Home Entertainment rights were picked up by high profile partner Big Picture Entertainment. Big Picture, which manages home entertainment rights for a number of prestigious brands, intends to release the first LITTLE PRINCESS DVD in August/September 2009. Following the publishing success in the UK, Germany and other markets, a Spanish LITTLE PRINCESS publishing programme will be launched in 2009. Among the first deals to be secured, Random House acquired the publishing rights for TV tie-in books. Further major publishing partners should be announced soon. The worldwide licensing programme is given a boost as TV-Loonland appoints local licensing agent El Ocho Licencias y Promociones S.L. in Spain. Initial product launches are expected for Fall 2009, with previews early 2009. Justine Bannister, Head of International Distribution and Acquisitions at TV-Loonland, said: ”We are thrilled to be teaming up with such as strong line-up of partners in making the LITTLE PRINCESS brand as successful in Spain as it has been in so many other territories thus far. Given the expected broadcaster support and the proven track record of our partners, we are confident that LITTLE PRINCESS will be on everyone´s lips in Spain for 2009 and many years to come!” LITTLE PRINCESS is broadcasting in over 160 territories aiding the successful Licensing & Merchandising roll out in key international territories. |
