February 9, 2009 World Screen

TORONTO: Breakthrough Films & Television has begun development on a new children’s series starring the classic character Dudley the Dragon.

The original series, produced in 1993 by Breakthrough in association with TV Ontario, combined live action and puppetry. It featured Dudley, a green dragon, as he interacted with children through songs and stories. The original series has been licensed in over 180 territories.

The new CGI-animated series, aimed at preschoolers, will once again feature Oscar-nominated actor Graham Greene.

"We’re very excited about giving the lovable Dudley and his friends a large-scale makeover and introducing the series to a new generation of kids’ audiences," said executive producer Joan Lambur.
