Portfolio Entertainment has secured international deals for The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That! animated series and movies.

The show’s first two installments are headed to Ultra Kids for ex-Yugoslavia, and Sony Pictures Television Networks for the U.K. and Africa. Sony also went for the hour-long movies The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Camping, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Space, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Halloween and The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Christmas.

Over in MENA, E-Junior and Discovery Kids picked up the movies, with Discovery Kids also acquiring the third season of the series. MiniMini+ in Poland took season three, while Irish pubcaster TG4 snapped up the first installment and The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About Christmas. In addition, MBC’s Gobo.net licensed the sophomore season for the Middle East and Taiwan’s Horng En Culture took DVD and SVOD rights for all four movies.

“In an era where content is king, it so great to see digital networks embracing The Cat in the Hat as much as our linear partners,” said Jonathan Abraham, Portfolio’s director of international sales and acquisitions.
