Portfolio Introduces Where Oliver Fits Christmas Special

Portfolio Entertainment has worked in partnership with the CMF/SRF Digital Animated Series Program and Corus Entertainment’s Treehouse TV to produce the family Christmas special Where Oliver Fits: A Christmas Eve Tale and an accompanying series of shorts.

The IP is based on the hit Canadian children’s book Where Oliver Fits by Cale Atkinson. The heartfelt animated comedy special and series explore the challenges of not knowing where you fit in with your friends, and how to be yourself.

Aimed at children 3 to 7, the half-hour special features Oliver, a little puzzle piece from a loving puzzle family who is happy, outgoing and maybe just a little too focused on what he wants over the needs of others.

The 9×2.5-minute series of shorts follows Oliver’s adventures in the playroom where he lives with his family. The series will be accompanied by an online game titled The Where Oliver Fits Puzzle Party.

Portfolio Entertainment holds global distribution rights to both the special and the series.

“As we move toward the world re-opening and people around the world reuniting with friends and family, this is the perfect time to launch this hopeful new Holiday special about the joy of finding your place in a world filled with others who have their own unique tastes, interests and talents,“ said Donnie MacIntyre, Portfolio’s VP of sales and business development. “Oliver’s adventurous spirit and can-do attitude are just what kids will be looking for this holiday season.”
