Keyframe Extends Format of Zeze Zebra Series

Keyframe Studios has delivered the first 13 episodes of the five-minute version of The Adventures of Zeze Zebra.

The Adventures of Zeze Zebra ranked seventh in MIPJunior’s top 30 most screened list for 2020. The extended-format version is built around a popular two-minute nursery rhyme, but it develops a longer adventure and discovery-based narrative with storylines combining education and activity.

The show scored early acquisitions from BT Kids, RTL, Hop!, Kidoodle and Ameba as well as Ketchup in the U.K. Interest in the new format has already been expressed by broadcasters and platforms in North America, the U.K., France and Israel. Another 13 episodes are in production. First/early deals will be announced in the first quarter of 2021.

Asa Movshovitz, founder and animation director at Keyframe Studios, said: “Zeze has enjoyed enormous traction on the SVODs and more recently AVOD, racking up millions of cumulative views. The data and stats being returned from our AVOD/SVOD partners are really encouraging and it’s rewarding to see The Adventures of Zeze Zebra clearly striking a chord with audiences, inspiring us to offer even more content for Zeze’s fast-growing fanbase. With broadcasters in numerous regions now showing interest in the new, extended version, Zeze looks like enjoying a very successful 2021!”
