Dive Olly Dive! Slated for Cartoonito Italy

MILAN: The preschool series Dive Olly Dive! has scored a slot as part of the launch slate of the soon-to-debut Cartoonito channel in Italy, where the show is currently airing on Boing as part of a two-hour Cartoonito block.

The show is a co-production of Mike Young Productions, Flying Bark Productions of Australia, KI.KA and ARD of Germany, Telegael teo of Ireland, Atlantyca Entertainment of Italy and GDC of China. Dive Olly Dive! launched in July on Boing, airing seven days a week at 7:30 a.m. in a two-hour Cartoonito block. Starting the end of August, the show will be among the series in the launch lineup of the Cartoonito as a full channel in Italy.

“The delightfully entertaining underwater adventures of Olly and Beth are perfectly suited to this summertime theme,” said Luana Perrero, Atlantyca Entertainment’s distribution manager. “We are pleased that Dive Olly Dive! was chosen to be a part of the creative Cartoonito morning block on Boing and very proud that the series will be amongst the properties chosen for the launch of Cartoonito channel in Italy.”
