MIPJunior Spotlight: Foothill Entertainment

CANNES: Meant to encourage movement and a love for reading, Mother Goose Club is an animated preschool show from Sockeye Media that Foothill Entertainment is showcasing at MIPCOM.

“Infectious rhythms and melodies inspire children to get up and dance, while the emphasis on words helps young children learn early language skills, making the series hugely appealing to parents as well,” says Elizabeth Stephens, Foothill’s VP of sales and development.

Also a preschool program, Toopy and Binoo is a gender-neutral evergreen classic that “engages and mesmerizes children with charismatic characters, humor and fun,” says Stephens. “While immensely entertaining, the series encourages children to be friendly, well-mannered and imaginative.” Rollie & Friends is a third preschool highlight, this one focused on a small roller coaster with big dreams.

“Although actively seeking to acquire new programming, we are also embracing the new media opportunities that have become available for our existing titles,” Stephens adds.
