Cartoonito Commissions Grown Up Spinoff

LONDON, February 21:
Turner Broadcasting’s British preschool channel Cartoonito has commissioned
Handle & Spout to make Go and Be a Grown Up, a spinoff for the preschool property Go and
Get a Grown Up.

Set to air later this
year, the 10×5-minute series will offer children insight into a variety of
professions. Each episode goes to work with an adult to learn about their job,
including a doctor, postal worker, vet, dancer, baker, train driver and farmer.
The series is directed by Sam Potter and the executive producer is Paul
Shuttleworth.

Cecilia Persson, the VP of
programming, acquisitions and presentation for Turner Kids, said: “We are
delighted to continue our commitment to quality U.K. produced content with this
exciting new commission from Handle & Spout. With Go and Be a Grown Up we hope to give children an informative and fun
look into a range of different professions.”
