PorchLight Acquires U.S. DVD Rights for Cake Property

LOS ANGELES, February 5:
PorchLight Home Entertainment has picked up the U.S. DVD distribution rights
for the animated kids’ program Loopdidoo from Cake Distribution.

Loopdidoo is an animated program for children aged 3 to 5
and is based on the Grabouillon comic
books. The series follows a goofy dog and his 5-year-old owner who find
everyday life to be one big adventure. The series is set to begin airing in the
U.S. this spring on Animania, the children’s channel of VOOM HD Networks.

“The animated Loopdidoo program is as charming and whimsical as its name,”
said Brenda Bisner, the VP of acquisitions for children’s programming at
PorchLight. “Already a hit in Europe, we feel the appeal for preschoolers will
be extremely strong here in the U.S. as well.”
