During its first week of broadcast on Discovery Kids Channel in Latin America, Breakthrough Entertainment’s Fishtronaut was rated the most-watched kids’ TV show for the 4-to-11 demo during its 11:30AM–12:00PM and 7:30-8:00PM timeslots. The announcement came today from Nat Abraham, head of distribution. The animated series premiered on the channel on April 20, 2009. “We are thrilled at the response to this fresh new series,” said Kiko Mistrorigo, Executive Producer/Co-founder at TV PinGuim. “Fishtronaut offers children a unique perspective on friendship and caring for the environment that is also entertaining.” “Fishtronaut is a breakout hit for Discovery Kids in Latin America,” added Mr. Abraham “and we have no doubt that the international momentum will continue.” A charming, fun-filled animated series, Fishtronaut follows a secret-agent fish as he goes on slimy, furry and gooey adventures with his best friends, Marina and Zeek. Created by TV PinGuim’s co-founders, Kiko Mistrorigo and Celia Catunda, the series explores the world’s many mysteries above and below water as the friends find solutions to environmental dilemmas. The series is produced by Brazil-based TV PinGuim in association with Discovery Kids Channel in Latin America and is distributed by Breakthrough Entertainment. |
