MIPJunior Spotlight: BBC Studios Kids & Family

BBC Studios Kids & Family is bringing to MIPCOM The Primrose Railway Children, a feature-length family drama based on Jacqueline Wilson’s novel of the same name.

“Set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish highlands and heritage railways, it is quintessentially British,” says Katharina Pietzsch, VP of content sales. “At its heart lies a beautiful story with universal themes that are sure to resonate with global audiences about growing up, secrets, being displaced and finding your way in a community that seems alien.”

Also on offer, Supertato centers on a potato superhero and his fruit and veggie sidekicks as they work to protect their supermarket from an evil pea.

My Friend Maisy reintroduces the titular mouse character and allows preschoolers to hear her talk for the first time.

“We are bringing a wonderful selection of kids’ and family content to the market,” Pietzsch notes.
