Discovery Kids Latin America Takes My Big Big Friend

TORONTO: Discovery Kids in Latin America is set to air Breakthrough Films & Television’s animated series My Big Big Friend, which will premiere in 2011.

The 52×11-minute series is about three children and their imaginary friends. Through their imaginations, they can go anywhere. Breakthrough has partnered with Brazil’s 2DLab to produce the series.

“My Big Big Friend is a delightful series that combines genuine imagination and adventure with humor and heart and we are thrilled that this series has found a home on Discovery Kids in Latin America,” said Nat Abraham, the head of distribution for Breakthrough Entertainment.

“This series plays to 2DLab’s strengths—each episode is highly emotional and always centered around the characters’ emotions and how, with the help of their BiG BiG friends, they can face their fears, grow and have a happy and playful childhood,” added Andre Breitman, the CEO of 2DLab.

“My Big Big Friend will add to our strong lineup of programming,” commented Bilai Joa Silar, the VP and channel director for Discovery Kids. “The series is filled with original and dynamic characters with great story lines and we’re excited to bring these characters to our viewers in the region.”
