CCI Signs Toy Deal on Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs

TORONTO: CCI Entertainment has struck a deal with Cotiplas that sees a full range of Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs toys hitting shelves in Brazil as early as April 2010.

The line will include plastics, plush, talking dinosaurs, tents and beach toys. In addition, BLG, the promoters representing the property in the territory, are speaking with live-events companies as well as licensees in a range of other categories. Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs airs on Discovery Latin America in Brazil and is currently building a consumer-products program in the territory that includes publisher Editora Fundamento Educacional and home-entertainment partner Log On Editora.

“We are really pleased to be working with Cotiplas,” said Arnie Zipursky, the co-chairman of CCI. “Not only does it mean we will have a range of toys available in Brazil, but it opens doors for us in other territories as there are opportunities to bring these toys to children in other markets.”
