Small Vs. Tall Lands U.S. Option

Leonine Studios has landed a raft of format deals on two titles produced by i&u TV, including Small Vs. Tall.

Small Vs. Tall was optioned in the U.S. by Critical Content, as well as in the U.K. by Keshet Productions and France by Deeply Superficial. The format lets young contestants challenge some of the best athletes, celebrities and professionals in their fields, showcasing children’s extraordinary talents and abilities.

Meanwhile, They Have No Idea What Will Happen! went to Globomedia in Spain and to WeMake in France. In the fast-paced game show, spontaneity and improvisation are key.

Leonine Studios’ CEO, Fred Kogel, said: “We’re excited to see our highly successful shows traveling as this is part of our growth strategy. The timing is ideal, as people are currently craving big, positive family entertainment shows. These two live-event formats regularly win their primetime slots across the German-speaking territories and we’re especially proud that during the pandemic, we found a way to produce without a live audience while keeping the same energy and entertainment value.”

Sales Representative Stefanie Gelinas added: “We’re receiving amazing feedback from producers all over the world, they love that both concepts are fresh and inventive. And since so many episodes have already aired, our international partners can access a large catalog of tried-and-tested games to support their local versions.”
