ATF Spotlight: 9 Story Media Group

SINGAPORE: A house cat who dreams of exploring the great outdoors takes center stage in Nature Cat, a new animated series that 9 Story Media Group is showcasing at this year’s ATF.

“Nature Cat is not only incredibly funny, it also delivers the ever-important universal message of encouraging kids to go outside and explore their natural environment,” says Federico Vargas, the company’s director of distribution. “We’re particularly excited about Nature Cat for the Asia Pacific because it’s a bridging property, in that it serves kids 4 to 8 who are too old for preschool but too young for content for 6- to 11-year-olds.”

9 Story is also offering up Wild Kratts, which is currently in its fourth season on Discovery Kids Asia, along with the Emmy-winning preschool program Peg + Cat. “Each of these shows features universal themes that appeal to children all over the world,” says Vargas.
