MIPJunior Spotlight: Beyond Distribution

Five childlike insects go on backyard adventures in Beat Bugs, an animated Netflix show on offer from Beyond Distribution that features covers of The Beatles songs.

“This series crosses over different generations, so preschoolers to grandparents will be able to enjoy it,” says Munia Kanna-Konsek, the head of sales at Beyond Distribution. “Music is the core element and each episode covers one song made famous by The Beatles.” The show is currently in production on its third season.

The Dengineers, meanwhile, is a CBBC hit in which an elite team makes amazing dens for children. “This visually exciting series aims to inspire, inform and educate,” says Kanna-Konsek.

Then there is Ice Stars, another CBBC program, this one exploring the action-packed lives of young ice-skaters. “Our cast live and breathe ice, so nothing can get in the way of a dedicated group of young people with exceptional skating skills,” adds Kanna-Konsek.
