Studio B’s Animated Short Scores Canadian TV Sales, Book Release

VANCOUVER, December 3: Studio B Productions has closed broadcast deals with Canadian educational channels Knowledge Network and SCN for its animated short Clancy with the Puck.

The short has already begun airing in high rotation on both Canadian networks.

Additionally, independent Canadian publisher Raincoast Books has released a hardcover picture book Clancy with the Puck in Canadian and U.S. markets. The book is packaged with a DVD of the animated short.

Clancy with the Puck was created by Chris Mizzoni and is narrated by hockey commentator Bob Cole, whose Hockey Night in Canada play-by-play is heard by millions every week. Clancy with the Puck centers on a hapless-but-heroic character named Clancy, who must lead his team to victory by winning the Stanley Cup.

“We are excited to be partnering with two of the premier broadcasters in Canada to air Clancy with the Puck,” said Blair Peters, a partner at Studio B Productions. “Clancy with the Puck is very special to Studio B, it is our first publishing project and we are thrilled with the support from the Canadian TV and publishing industries.”
