ATF Spotlight: 9 Story Distribution International

A co-production between China and Wales, Luo Bao Bei is a new animated series that is being presented by 9 Story Distribution International at ATF.

“We are extremely excited about our new property Luo Bao Bei, as the character has been a household name in China for many years,” says Federico Vargas, the senior director of distribution at 9 Story Distribution International. “As a Chinese/U.K. co-production, it stays true to its Chinese heritage while at the same time featuring universal themes and storylines. As a result, we feel it will have a strong appeal to the sensibilities of the region.”

9 Story is also offering up the animated series 3 Amigonauts, about “three bumbling buddies attending the solar system’s most prestigious space academy,” and Daniel Tiger’s Neighbourhood, “which teaches important social-emotional lessons to preschoolers,” according to Vargas.

He adds, “Asia is a strong market for children’s content right now across all subgenres, and animation, in particular, has good traction.”
