Hidden Pigeon Presenting New Mo Willems Content at MIPCOM

Hidden Pigeon Company is developing 11 series, features, specials and digital content based on the book catalog of the New York Times best-selling author and illustrator Mo Willems, which it will present at MIPCOM.

With these projects, the company aims “to appeal to a global audience through universally relatable kids and family themes, distinctive animation styles and a diverse cast of characters that emotionally resonate with viewers—no matter where in the world they live,” says Kristofer Updike, senior VP of creative.

Among the projects is Edwina & Reggie, based on the book Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct.

“While there is already awareness for our premium series, The Elephant & Piggie Show, The Pigeon Show: Starring The Pigeon and The Knuffles, we’re excited to connect with broadcasters, streamers, distributors and animation studios to build awareness around our vast catalog of literary works,” Updike says.

Additionally, “we’re excited to spend time with our global colleagues and introduce more people to Mo Willems’ extensive body of work.”
