NCircle, Granada International In Home Distribution Deal

BONITA SPRINGS/LONDON, May 30: In a multi-year deal with
Granada International, NCircle Entertainment has been appointed as the
exclusive home-entertainment distributor in the U.S. for the award-winning
animated children's series Pocoyo.

Pocoyo has been sold
into more than 100 countries, including Canada, the U.K., Germany, Italy,
France, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Portugal, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and in a number of markets in the Middle East.

Written by Ken Scarborough and Andy Yerkes, the series is
co-produced by Granada International and Zinkia Entertainment, in association
with Granada Kids and Cosgrove Hall Films. Pocoyo uses the latest 3-D CGI and XSI animated production technology.
Narrated by Stephen Fry, the series features Pocoyo, a three-year-old child
with an insatiable curiosity, and his friends Elly the pink elephant, Pato the
yellow duck, Loula the loyal puppy, and Sleepy Bird. Each episode of the series
takes Pocoyo and his friends on a voyage of discovery about life. Pocoyo
was also the recipient of the top TV
Production Award at last year's Annecy International Film Festival, and the
2006 Pulcinella Award for Best European Program, among other honors.

"The Pocoyo
content partnership advances our drive to bring new and exciting materials to
the inquisitive minds of children," stated Debbie Ries, the senior VP and
GM at NCircle Entertainment. "An important addition to our library, the
adventurous series adds depth to our diverse offerings."
