CANNES: Globosat’s first children’s channel, Gloob, which launched in 2012, is targeted to youngsters between the ages of 6 and 9, reaches approximately 40 million viewers and features a variety of live-action and animated programming.

Highlights of the lineup include S.O.S. Fairy Manu, an International Emmy Kids Award nominee about a fairy godmother who is learning from her retired grandmother; Paper Port, a paper-motion series following a 12-year-old girl who wakes up with a different superpower each day; and Valentins, a drama centered on four siblings searching for the truth about their missing parents.

According to Paula Taborda dos Guaranys, who serves as Gloob’s head of content and programming, the channel has “growing experience in international partnerships with heavyweight players such as Disney EMEA, ZAG, PGS, Rai, Gaumont and Millimages.”

She adds: “Gloob is a key co-pro partner in LatAm not just for our cultural expertise but also for our solid association with some of the best production companies in the region.”
