The Raccoons Goes International

Run With Us Productions’ The Raccoons has been picked up by The Roku Channel in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and the U.K.

First created in 1985 and now remastered, the animated television series follows the day-to-day life of three raccoons, their aardvark friend and his father. The new deal marks the first time that the series will be available simultaneously in three languages.

The Raccoons will debut on The Roku Channel on December 1.

“The Raccoons was one of my favorite animated series growing up, and we are proud that The Roku Channel is the first streaming platform bringing the remastered version to our audience in English, French and Spanish,” said Jennifer Vaux, VP of content acquisition and programming for Roku. “This series is a fantastic addition to our AVOD offering across all our international territories.”

Kevin Gillis, CEO of Run With Us Productions, commented: “We are excited to be relaunching the completely restored and remastered The Raccoons series and specials in partnership with The Roku Channel. The Roku Channel is the first platform to be introducing the remastered characters and stories in three languages to the United States, Mexico, the U.K. and Canada.”
