MIPTV Spotlight: CAKE

CAKE is bringing a raft of new animated children’s series to this year’s MIPTV.

Commissioned by CBeebies in the U.K., ABC in Australia and S4C in Wales, preschool series Olobob Top follows the adventurous magical tree-living trio of Tib, Lalloo and Bobble. “Twenty-six new adventures combine a striking visual style with humor and continue themes of creativity, friendship and teamwork, which will appeal to children and parents everywhere,” says Ed Galton, CAKE’s chief commercial officer and managing director.

Pablo, the first children’s series in which the central character has autism, shows a boy’s imaginative drawings coming to life and helping him confidently take on the world. CAKE’s new co-production Space Chickens in Space combines off-the-wall comedy and a distinctive design as it tells a story about a chicken sibling trio that winds up enrolled in an elite intergalactic academy.

“CAKE continues to work with partners distributing and developing content that will work successfully on multiple levels and platforms,” says Galton.
