Grizzy and the Lemmings to Stream in China

HARI International has licensed the popular animated series Grizzy and the Lemmings to Mango TV, a digital platform in China operated by Hunan TV.

Grizzy and the Lemmings follows a bear and a mammal family as they fight over the forest ranger’s house while he is away. The show already airs on a number of broadcasters around the globe, including Turner worldwide as well as Super RTL in Germany, NPO in the Netherlands, SVT in Sweden, RTP in Portugal and Puls TV in Poland.

Rebecca Wang, the director of international business at Hunan TV, remarked: “As a top online platform in China, Mango TV is dedicated to bringing premium international content to Chinese internet users. We look forward to working with HARI International and bring their number one show to 150 million children in China.”

Adeline Tormo, the head of sales at HARI International, stated: “We are thrilled to announce the future release of Grizzy and the Lemmings in China thanks to our partnership with Mango TV. Our series pursues its journey through the world and this new step marks its arrival in Asia, in a key territory for the development of the licensing and merchandising program. We will attend ATF to ensure that more Asian partners join the Grizzy and the Lemmings adventure.”

Josselin Charier, co-founder of HARI, added: “Even though the Chinese market gradually opens to international productions, it remains a difficult market to access, especially for an original European creation. The quality of the CGI animation, the non-verbal characteristic and the universal humor of Grizzy and the Lemmings have seduced the team of Mango TV. We are very proud of having our series released in China on a top 5 VOD platform. This international success is very promising for season two currently in production and for the feature film currently in development.”
