New Broadcasters On Board for Brave Bunnies

Aardman has lined up a number of new broadcast partners for the preschool series Brave Bunnies, including U.K. deals with Nick Jr. and Milkshake!

The 52×7-minute 2D preschool series has been picked up by Super RTL (Germany), ABC (Australia), YLE (Finland), HOP! (Israel), PlusPlus (Ukraine) and Daekyo (South Korea). Created by Olga Cherepanova, Brave Bunnies follows a family of courageous and curious bunnies as they seek adventure and exploration, traveling on the Bunny Bus.

Ukrainian creative production company Glowberry announced the deal alongside Aardman. Spanish animation studio Ánima is producing.

Alison Taylor, director of distribution and business development at Aardman, said: “We secured some key licenses on Brave Bunnies following Aardman’s first outing representing the series at Kidscreen Summit in February, which was good timing as this has been the only ‘in-person’ event we’ve been able to present the series at all year. We’re delighted with the response the property has had from international buyers and we hope to announce further sales following MIPCOM.”

Martin Gradl, chief content officer at Super RTL, added: “We are very excited to have acquired Brave Bunnies and to add it to our preschool portfolio as it is the perfect fit. The series offers the right balance between entertainment for young children, an educational approach as well as the diversity factor. These different elements make Brave Bunnies a great show for our young audience.”

Sergii Molchanov, CEO at Glowberry, added: “Brave Bunnies takes over the world at an incredible pace. We are very proud of our international team, which creates a top-grade product, and are fortunate to get such impressive support from our global partners. We are fully equipped for the global launch of Brave Bunnies broadcasting in autumn 2020.”

Angel Molinero, executive producer at Ánima, said: “Brave Bunnies is such a great show and having these big broadcasters along proves it. We are very pleased with the incredible work done by our exceptional partners and our own team, who made this truly unique project come to life. We can’t wait to see the Bunny family hopping alongside kids all over the world.”
