Monster Loving Maniacs Sold Across Europe

Toon2Tango and Mondo TV Group have secured another raft of sales for Monster Loving Maniacs.

The show has been bought by several broadcasters serving key European territories, including France, Hungary, Latvia, the Basque Country and Belgium. The broadcasters are set to launch the animated comedy, aimed at 6- to 10-year-olds, this year.

In France, the first season has been sold to pay-TV broadcaster CANAL+ for CANAL+ Kids in a pay-TV and SVOD deal. The agreement covers France and a number of French-speaking territories.

In Hungary, the free-to-air RTL Klub has acquired basic cable rights for the show. VRT’s Ketnet, the Flemish-language public children’s television channel in Belgium owned and operated by the pubcaster, will broadcast the show free-to-air and on its digital platforms.

TV3 will broadcast the show in Latvia through an exclusive free-to-air deal and a non-exclusive VOD agreement, while the Basque Autonomous Community’s public broadcast service will broadcast the show free-to-air throughout the Basque Country in northern Spain.

The series is produced by JA Film in co-production with Mondo TV, Belvision and Ginger Pictures in collaboration with Toon2Tango.

Matteo Corradi, Mondo TV CEO, noted: “This beautifully designed and animated show combines relatable themes, such as family and understanding of others, with a highly original—and extraordinarily funny—story about monster-obsessed kids. It’s already found big audiences in over 130 countries and, as these major deals indicate, many more are on the way.”

Toon2Tango CEO Ulli Stoef added: “Monster Loving Maniacs delivers so much: humor, excitement, appealing characters and a great look, combined with engaging storylines and an ingenious theme. The ingredients for a big hit are all there—and clearly, we’re not the only ones who think so! We’re delighted that it has already been embraced in so many countries—and looking forward to welcoming many more!”
