Paddles Heads to Cartoonito UK

Paddles, a new CGI series for 4- to 7-year-olds, is to launch on Cartoonito UK in the fall.

From Futurum, the 52×11-minute series tells the story of a polar bear cub accidentally delivered by the stork to a frozen River Shannon in Ireland and brought up by a pack of Irish wolfhounds. The message for its young audience is that being different is something to be celebrated and enjoyed.

Paddles is the first offering from Futurum, a specialist producer of children’s and family media content. Its founding principals include members of the team behind the seven-time Emmy-award-winning children’s series Jakers!, as well as senior figures from HIT Entertainment and its global franchises Bob the Builder, Barney and Thomas and Friends.
