MIPJunior Spotlight: Calm Island

In Cannes, Calm Island is promoting its new animated series, Badanamu Cadets, which targets young viewers between the ages of 4 and 7.

“The Badanamu cadets are a team of six dynamic, creative and intrepid heroes-in-training, learning everything they need to know to protect the world of Badanamu from the forces of chaos,” says David Roberts, the CEO of Calm Island.

Other highlights are Badanamu Animated Songs and Bada’s Learning Adventure, a new app that is launching this month.

Badanamu was originally created as a preschool brand for 1- to 5-year-olds. “It now features over 7,000 lesson plans, and combines technology, adorable characters, music, animation and traditional teaching practices to create ‘active learning experiences’ to activate a child’s brain while they play,” says Roberts.
