CAKE Signs On for New Slap-Stick Comedy

 

 

LONDON: CAKE Entertainment has entered into a co-production deal with Studio Baestarts for a new comedy series, Huhu.

Targeted at 6- to 12-year-olds, Huhu is a short-form format intended for TV, online and mobile platforms. The series is currently in the pilot stage, and CAKE will be presenting the titles at MIP Junior and Cartoon Forum. The series is a non-dialogue burlesque that follows the lives and adventures of 11 owls. The comedy centers on the owls stupidity because of their lack of memory.

CAKE and Studio Baestarts have already presold the series to YLE, STV, NRK, Duna TV, Minimax Canal + France, Canal + Poland and Canal + Spain, as well as securing Media Plus funding.

Genevieve Dexter, the partner and commercial director at CAKE, said: “Huhu is a fantastically funny show and we’re really excited about the flexibility of the shorts and the new media and mobile exploitation aspect. We are confident the show will be well received at Cartoon Forum, and then at MIP, and look forward to continuing our relationship with Studio Baestarts.”
