Little Airplane Productions Acquired by Studio 100

Studio 100 Media has taken over Little Airplane Productions (Wonder Pets, Small Potatoes, Super Wings), a New York-based Emmy-winning animation studio founded by Josh Selig in 1999.

Studio 100 is currently working with Selig on developing such projects as Fun Town Wheels. Little Airplane will continue developing and producing new projects, in collaboration with Studio 100 Animation and Flying Bark Productions, and will also still develop for third-party clients. Studio 100 Media handles international content sales, L&M and the global distribution of new properties.

Hans Bourlon, founder and CEO of Studio 100, commented: “I have greatly admired the work of Little Airplane for years. It’s a unique company. It has amazing creative strength and has produced the most fantastic series and songs. My absolute favorite is ‘The Potato Train’ from The Small Potatoes.”

Selig, founder and president of Little Airplane Productions, noted: “I am thrilled that Little Airplane has joined forces with our friends at Studio 100 and all of their amazing companies. There is a great synergy between our businesses and our teams, and we look forward to creating and producing new content together that will resonate with children around the world.”

Hans Ulrich Stoef, the CEO of Studio 100 Media and m4e, added: “We have been working successfully with Josh and his team for many years and currently develop Fun Town Wheels and Rock, Tacco, Balloon with him. So we are very excited about having this opportunity to join forces on a broader level. After m4e and I linked up with Studio 100 at the beginning of this year, the next logical step in the international expansion was to go into partnership with Little Airplane Productions. We have been impressed by the accomplishments of Little Airplane Productions and their great expertise in children’s and family entertainment. We are very much looking forward to producing world-class creations together.”
