MIPJunior Spotlight: Zodiak Kids

Tiny, magical gardeners live undetected in an urban oasis called Garden Park, where they work to create beautiful landscapes in Lilybuds, part of Zodiak Kids’ MIPCOM slate.

The show Joe All Alone centers on a 13-year-old whose mom leaves him by himself to go on holiday with her boyfriend. When Joe discovers a bag filled with money, a group of strangers starts to follow him around.

The upper-preschool series Kody Kapow is about an aspiring martial arts-style superhero named Kody who spends the summer with his extended family in a small village in China. Eryk Casemiro, the chief creative officer of Zodiak Kids Studios, says the show is “perhaps more in line with the current trend of action heroes, however, this series focuses more on the mindfulness of martial arts, like themes of concentration, respect or perseverance.”

“In a world where kids have so many options, we believe that our point of difference is a way to stand out and get their attention,” adds Casemiro.
