What are some of your top properties for MIPTV? 

We have a variety of shows that we’ll be bringing to MIPTV including the all-new animated series, Doodlebops Rockin’ Road Show. We have exciting new seasons of Magi-Nation and Caillou as well as the comedic adventure series, Kung Fu Dino Posse, and the high-flying adventures of Metajets, which will begin airing in the U.S. this year.

Why will these programs appeal to buyers?

Cookie Jar Entertainment is offering broadcasters a wide range of programming that will appeal to audiences of all ages. Fans of the live-action Doodlebops series will love and relate to the new animated show that offers the same positive messages, and by animating the show we have opened up a whole new exciting world that kids everywhere will love. The series also includes new, original songs. Boy-skewed properties like Kung Fu Dino Posse and Metajets blend both action-adventure and comedy. Metajets combines a thrilling blend of 2D and CGI action animation together with strong storytelling and compelling characters, whereas Kung Fu Dino Posse is a goofy and ironic tribute/spoof of the action cartoons we all grew up on. And following the global success of Magi-Nation, season two promises to be just as exciting for its legions of fans around the world.

What are your goals and expectations for MIPTV?
In addition to continuing to offer our current broadcast partners a wide range of new programming and additional seasons of evergreen shows, we are also looking to forge new partnerships with other networks. We will also continue to explore international co-production opportunities, and are actively seeking partners for our new live-action shows in development, which we’re really excited about. In addition, we are also open to co-producing third party shows and look forward to furthering discussions with producers.
