awol Makes Sales for Portuguese Preschool Series

PARIS: Paris-based awol animation has sold Big Storm Studios’ 3D CGI series Gombby’s Green Island to Portugal and Spain, and is launching the series at MIP Junior.

Gombby’s Green Island is the first long-form series from a Portuguese studio to hit the international market place. Following TV sales to RTP and Panda in Portugal, and Clan TVITVE in Spain, home entertainment deals were made with LNK Portugal and Big Picture Spain with first L&M partners Panini, Giochi Preziosi, Concentra and Majora.

Ruben Dias, the executive producer for Big Storm Studios, said: "We are delighted to have signed our television distribution agreement with awol animation, and the early international roll out of the television show and resulting licensing deals are already proving what a great success Gombby’s Green Island is going to be around the world. Given our background, from the very start we planned for Gombby’s Green Island to be experienced by children in every way that they engage with modern multi platform media. For this generation, this is normal and it’s what they expect!"
