ATF Spotlight: 9 Story Media Group

Donkey Hodie, a preschool puppet series from Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures, is among 9 Story Media Group’s highlights for ATF Online+.

With a social-emotional curriculum, it follows the adventures of Donkey Hodie and her pals as they empower young viewers. “The series is inspired by the quirky sense of humor of children’s TV pioneer Fred Rogers and his mission to help young viewers navigate the everyday challenges of childhood,” says Federico Vargas, VP of distribution at 9 Story Media Group.

A hybrid series with live-action animals that have CGI-animated mouths, Bad Nature sees kids join talking animals as they dive into the disgusting but amazing things that animals do. Meanwhile, the animated title Dr. Panda is returning with new episodes set in the world of Panda City for its second season.

Vargas adds, “Though the medium is different, my plans at the market remain the same: to sell our amazing content to broadcasters all over the region.”
