m4e Scores TV-Loonland Properties

MUNICH: Telescreen’s parent company, m4e AG, has scored the back catalogue of the former TV-Loonland from the insolvency administrator, covering more than 1,400 episodes, plus films.

The titles acquired from the bankrupt children’s entertainment firm includes series such as The Cramp Twins, Babar (2D), Letters from Felix, Rudi & Trudi, Mowgli—The New Adventures of the Jungle Book, Little Ghosts, The Beginner’s Bible, Connie the Cow, Yvon of the Yukon and more.
 
The deal expands m4e’s rights portfolio to more than 900 hours of animation and live action programs. Distribution will be handled by Telescreen B.V.
 
"For us this trade is of great significancy, particularly regarding the digital and online strategy of the m4e group," said Hans Ulrich Stoef, the CEO of m4e AG. "Along with our new original productions and latest acquisitions, the TV Loonland library will give us a very balanced portfolio of rights for the national and international markets."
