APC Kids Named Distribution Partner for Huggleboo

The Amsterdam-based production company Submarine has appointed APC Kids as the global distribution partner on its new preschool animated series Huggleboo.

APC Kids has already secured the first sale for the series with HOP! in Israel, with launch planned for 2020. Huggleboo is a hybrid 2D-animated series with cut-out animation techniques and photorealistic images.

The show was commissioned by the Dutch broadcaster KRO NCRV and the Belgian channel Ketnet and co-produced with the Dutch independent producer BosBros.

Huggleboo is a wayward little girl experiencing small adventures in and around her house, where she lives with her parents and her newborn baby sister Elisabeth, but also in her garden and at her grandparent’s farm. Together with her doll Fluffy, she explores her little world, finding simple things that seem ordinary to us but are very special and exciting to her.

Bruno Felix, co-founder and managing director of Submarine, said: “We already have a successful relationship with APC Kids on Fox & Hare and we are excited to expand on this with Huggleboo—we look forward to rolling out the TV series and consumer products program globally.”
