Cartoon Saloon Signs New Partners for Several Brands

Cartoon Saloon has signed deals with a slew of new licensees for its leading brands, including Puffin Rock.

To coincide with the upcoming theatrical feature Puffin Rock and the New Friends, based on the series Puffin Rock, Cartoon Saloon has inked licensing deals with eco-design manufacturer GreenRe for a line of sustainable stationery products; Snuggly Figs for a children’s clothing line made of bamboo; and Value Add Games for an educational board game.

The GreenRe products will be available across North America, the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The Snuggly Fig children’s clothing line will be distributed in North America, while the Value Add Games board game will be available for the European Union.

“With Puffin Rock and The New Friends, which just debuted at the Cannes Film Market with WestEnd Film, we are delighted to have signed our first licensing partners for apparel and products that will allow new and old fans alike to extend their engagement with the movie,” said Brian Tyrrell, general manager of Cartoon Saloon Brand Development. “As we head into Licensing Expo, we’re excited to have such high-quality partners on board across our brands, and we look forward to sharing further information there on our evergreen properties with our current and potential partners.”

The company joins existing partners Little Brown Young Readers (graphic novels), Xist Publishing (beginner books, global), Pinfinity (AR enamel pin sets, global), Gallery Nucleus (pin sets) and Trends International (posters, North America).
