MIPJunior Spotlight: Mondo TV Group

Based on the plush toy line from Aurora World, YooHoo & Friends, one of Mondo TV Group’s highlights, follows five pals as they help endangered animals.

The series encourages youngsters to develop respect for the environment. Five train friends have exciting adventures in the CGI series Robot Trains. Mondo TV Group’s lineup also features its first live-action series, Heidi, Bienvenida a Casa, about a country girl who moves to the big city. A 60-episode second season, titled Heidi Bienvenida al Show, is also in the works.

“Each highlight is distinct from the other in its production style, target age group and format,” says Micheline Azoury, the head of acquisitions and TV sales at Mondo TV. “Hence, they serve and cover all kids from 2 to 16. They are high-quality series, with an international flavor and comedy.”

She adds: “We are looking to expand our collaborations with new projects in preproduction or development that would be interesting and unique enough for us to adopt and co-produce.”
