APC Kids Lands First Sales for Dinocity

APC Kids has secured the first sales for Riki Group’s new animated series Dinocity, produced in partnership with the studio Animax.

DeA Kids in Italy picked up exclusive pay-TV rights to the Russian-produced series. Also, YLE Finland secured TV rights for the territory.

APC Kids has co-invested in the production of the 52×5-minute international version of the series and has exclusive distribution rights in all territories, excluding Russia and China. APC Kids brought on board Nigel Pickard as executive producer and Lee Waters (Floogals, Pet Squad) as script editor and voice director.

Lionel Marty, managing director of APC Kids, said: “There is global interest in children’s properties created in Russia and we are excited to start the international roll out of this fun series which has universal themes of family and friendship.”

Diana Yurinova, VP of international business development and distribution at Riki Group, added: “From my previous experience of collaborating with Nigel’s creative team, coupled with Lionel’s wealth of distribution expertise, I had no doubts who we should partner with on Dinocity. With production on the first season well underway, we are excited about the first sales APC Kids has already secured for the show. We feel very confident about the success of this IP because funny, vibrant content, which is underpinned by strong storytelling, is a winning combination which kids fall in love with.”
