CCTV Children’s Channel together with ten animation companies hosted the virtual live show Cartoon Carnival of Summer Vacation to celebrate animation in China, including the Cyber Group Studios series Gigantosaurus.

Gigantosaurus, exclusively distributed in China by Pacific Media Group, was among 12 animated series presented during the show. It took first place in the My Favorite Cartoon category, with CCTV recognizing the achievement by rebroadcasting Gigantosaurus on its official app.

Gigantosaurus premiered in China on CCTV in December 2019 and also has an exclusive video-on-demand agreement with the streaming platform Youku. Since its premiere, the series has been rebroadcast twice on CCTV and has featured on CCTV’s annual New Year’s television special. It has also ranked at the top of several of Youku’s animation lists.

Grace Hung, president of Pacific Media Group, said: “Gigantosaurus was produced with very high standards. Not only does the series educate children about the prehistoric world and stimulate their interests in dinosaurs, but it also teaches them valuable qualities such as friendship, unity and independence. We are honored to introduce such a dynamic animated series to kids in China and hope to maintain in-depth and diversified cooperation with Cyber Group Studios.”

Pierre Sissmann, chairman and CEO of Cyber Group Studios, and Richard Goldsmith, president of Cyber Group Studios, said: “We are thrilled that Gigantosaurus has been top-rated on both CCTV and Youku and that it has been one of the most prolific recent launches of an international kids’ series in China. We have many exciting plans for the brand that will be announced in the coming months with our partner, Pacific Media Group.”
