MIPJunior Spotlight: Shaftesbury

Miikshi, on offer from Shaftesbury, follows the adventures of a shy but brilliant sheep scientist who saves the world one day at a time.

Brought to life through hand puppets and model-miniature effects, the live-action series provides a strong female role model for young viewers.

Stinky Science, based on the best-selling books written by Edward Kay and illustrated by Mike Shiell, is a gleefully gross edutainment series for kids ages 6 and up that explores the science of smells.

Shaftesbury’s slate is rounded out by Bella Dancerella, a live-action dance series that expands across multiple social channels, events, online tutorials and merchandise.

“Shaftesbury is thrilled to be back in the kids’ space with a diverse slate of original live-action and animated programming,” says Jennifer McCann, the company’s executive producer for kids and family.

McCann adds, “Shaftesbury’s expertise in VR/AR is also being applied to the creation of some immersive kids’ content.”
