LONDON: CAKE and Cheeky Little Media have appointed licensing and merchandising agents to represent the new animated property Bottersnikes and Gumbles.

Lisle International in the U.K. and Eire and The Fusion Agency in Australia will find partner licensees for the brand in all core categories. Bottersnikes and Gumbles is a CGI comedy meant for kids between the ages of 6 and 9. The book-based show follows the adventures of Tink, Bounce and Willi, who can shrink and stretch into various shapes. Produced by CAKE, Cheeky Little Media and Mighty Nice Productions, the Netflix original is co-produced with CBBC in the U.K. and Seven Network in Australia.

Ed Galton, the CCO and managing director at CAKE, said: “The response to Bottersnikes and Gumbles has already been overwhelming. Everyone who discovers it is charmed and amazed.”

David Webster, the creative director of Cheeky Little Media, noted: “This property is really dear to our hearts and has been since we read the books as kids. We now look forward to seeing it take flight as a brand.”

Francesca Lisle-Grimshaw of Lisle International added: “We are very much looking forward to working with both Cheeky Little Media and CAKE on Bottersnikes and Gumbles. The animation is extremely entertaining and we think it will translate fantastically well into merchandise.”
