MIPJunior Spotlight: Motion Pictures Entertainment

CANNES: Motion Pictures Entertainment recently picked up Misha the Purple Cat for worldwide distribution.

“The preschool series has a great design, rhythm and positive, funny stories with some surreal elements,” says Jorge Patiño Donaggio, the company’s sales and co-productions manager. “The series is fresh, [making it] highly appealing to any buyer who wants to bet on something original and new.”

Motion Pictures is also promoting Pumpkin Reports, a comedy that Patiño Donaggio says has been “sold on every continent to a wide range of clients. Any broadcaster looking for comedy for 6- to 10-year-olds should pay attention to Pumpkin Reports.” There is also the non-dialogue, family-oriented slapstick comedy series Glumpers, which Patiño Donaggio notes has been a “tremendous success on SVOD platforms worldwide.”

He adds: “In the production field, Motion Pictures is Spain’s most active player in the kids’ industry.”
