CANNES: Breakthrough Entertainment is launching eight new programs in all genres at MIPCOM, along with several series treatments available for presale.

 

The company is particularly excited about its newest animated production, Rocket Monkeys. Nat Abraham, Breakthrough’s president of distribution, says the show is “wacky” and “fun-filled.” It follows two monkeys who are best friends, as they explore strange new worlds on a unique and specially equipped rocket. “We challenged our creative team at every level to push the comedy without restrictions on the types of stories and ideas they went after,” Abraham says. For buyers after educational preschool fare, Breakthrough has Sunrise Entertainment’s Kinderzoo to offer. The green-themed series combines animation and live action “to promote strong social values and guide children to grow up as caring and responsible global citizens and yet be thoroughly entertained on the journey,” says Abraham.
