MIPTV Spotlight: Australian Children’s Television Foundation

CANNES: Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) is launching the brand-new animated series Little J & Big Cuz.

The show follows Indigenous Australian kids Little J and Big Cuz, who live with Nanna and Old Dog. “In a world that is becoming increasingly in need of positive messages about multiculturalism, diversity and acceptance of others, Little J & Big Cuz has arrived at the perfect time,” says Tim Hegarty, international sales manager at ACTF.

Following on the success of the Little Lunch series, ACTF is presenting two specials. “The two Little Lunch specials were largely developed and created due to sheer popular demand,” Hegarty says. One is Halloween-themed, while the other is about graduation day.

Another highlight is Balloon Barnyard, a preschool series that follows the adventures of Pip and Streak.

“The ACTF is known worldwide for its high-quality, Australia-made children’s television programs,” adds Hegarty.
