Hardball is the Australian Children’s Television Foundation’s (ACTF) newest series to be launched at MIPTV.

The fish-out-of-water comedy follows a preteen boy as he moves from New Zealand to Western Sydney and finds himself competing in a high-intensity schoolyard handball competition. Animated series Little J & Big Cuz shadows two cousins living with their grandma in the outback. Animated preschool property Balloon Barnyard introduces two lovable balloon donkeys with superhero ambitions and a barnyard full of balloon animal friends.

“The breadth of the content, the style and the positive values of diversity, multiculturalism and inclusion give each series broad appeal,” says Roberta Di Vito, ACTF’s international sales manager. “Quality programming is always in demand worldwide, and for this reason, our series resonate well with audiences.”
