CAKE Scores SUPER RTL Slot for Angelo Rules

LONDON: Angelo Rules, CAKE Entertainment’s second co-production with France’s TeamTO, has been picked up by Germany’s SUPER RTL.

The 78×7-minute 3-D animated comedy is aimed at 6- to 11-year-olds. The series has already secured sales to Turner Broadcasting’s Cartoon Network in all territories except the U.S., Italy, France and Japan. Angelo Rules recently launched to strong ratings on France 3 as well.

Ed Galton, the managing director of CAKE Distribution, said: “Angelo Rules is a really strong property, being both the most viewed show at MIPCOM Junior 2009 and winning the Pulcinella Award for its original concept and charismatic hero. With Angelo Rules and Hareport both doing well in the international marketplace, we’re looking forward to creating more shows of this standard with TeamTO.”

Carsten Göttel, the program director at SUPER RTL, added: “Angelo Rules has all the elements SUPER RTL look for in a series—high quality, heart and humor. The main character, Angelo, perfectly represents our audience: he’s courageous, clever and creative. Being faced with bossy parents, annoying siblings, and mean teachers, Angelo finds innovative ideas to deal with all the relevant issues kids are facing today.”
