A brand-new preschool series from Beakus and Je Suis Bien Content/Watch Next Media, Big Lizard is among the latest offerings from Aardman.
The series was commissioned by the BBC and France Télévisions. “It’s a beautiful project about friendship, curiosity, exploration and celebrating differences,” says Robin Gladman, head of acquisitions at Aardman.
Also in the company’s catalog, Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures is a BBC commission from Eagle Eye Drama. The collection of six animated specials is based on Blake’s best-selling books.
Lí Ban from Paper Owl Films, meanwhile, comes from an untapped world of forgotten stories from Celtic folklore. “Lí Ban is a superb protagonist and role model, and kids everywhere will be excited by her story in this fantasy-adventure, anime-style series,” says Gladman.
“We pride ourselves on being the very best at building animated brands worldwide,” Gladman adds.
