Portfolio to Showcase Jobi’s Room

TORONTO: Portfolio International is to introduce the newly acquired animated series Jobi’s Room for worldwide sales at MIPTV.

The 52×1-minute series is produced by Brazil’s 2D Lab. The show targets kids 6 to 11. Each episode follows two characters—10-year-old Jobi and his best friend Oscar, a talking frog—as they explore the world from the safety of Jobi’s bedroom.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with 2D Lab and add Jobi’s Room to our catalogue of quality children’s programming," said Louis Fournier, the VP of sales and acquisitions at Portfolio. "The series is a perfect blend of fact and funny. The strong visuals and outrageous humor will resonate with audiences all over the world.”
 
"Portfolio has a long-term vision of the market and is interested not just in great properties but also in creating great relationships," added Andre Breitman, the president of 2DLab. "Brazil is in a special moment now, and we, at 2Dlab, want to make sure we use it to create strategic partners that will be with us for the long run.”
