We’re heartened to be continuing to secure deals for our shows and leveraging our strong international partnerships”

Ksenia Gordienko, director of the animation department at CTC Media, added: “It’s truly amazing that our brand is growing so rapidly around the world. Each international sale of Kid-E-Cats is a big step for the franchise’s success. We’re on our way to build the strong international brand with the help of our partners at APC Kids.”
