Paramount to Release Southern Star’s Raggs on DVD

SYDNEY, March 2: Paramount Home Entertainment has secured the
Australasian DVD rights for the
130×30-minute preschool series Raggs from Southern Star International.

Paramount will release the Raggs DVD to complement the recent rollout of Universal
Music’s Raggs audio CD Let’s
Play and the Promotechnics Raggs Pawsuuup! live concert shows currently touring
throughout Australia.

Produced by Southern Star Entertainment in association with
Raggs LLC for Seven Network Australia, the series is centered on a group of
five fun-loving dogs who all perform together in the Raggs Kids Club Band and
hang out in their own kid-friendly clubhouse. It also features a fast-paced
combination of music and dancing, specially created animations, concert
performances, kids talking about their world, a wildlife segment and film clips
of kids at play.

"We are really excited to be associated with this brand
new preschool property which has all the attributes of a major hit,” said
Richard Clarkson, the marketing director of Paramount Home Entertainment. “This acquisition complements our growing
portfolio of kids’ shows and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to this area
of our business which continues to go from strength to strength. Our first
release is slated for Easter and there is already a huge demand from mums and
kids up and down the country which is testament to the overall quality of the
program and the wonderful live shows.”
