Thunderbird Distribution Secures New Sales

Thunderbird Distribution has secured multiple sales deals for two series, including the mixed-media, dialogue-free show BooSnoo!

BooSnoo! has sold into a slew of new territories through deals with Peacock, Tubi and HappyKids in the U.S.; DR in Denmark; EBS in South Korea; NRK in Norway; PCCW/NOW in Hong Kong; SVT in Sweden; and TVOkids and Télé-Québec in Canada.

Peacock, Tubi, HappyKids, DR, PCCW/NOW and SVT picked up the first season of the series. EBS, NRK, TVOkids and Télé-Québec acquired the first and second seasons.

BooSnoo! encourages kids ages 2 and up to sit back, relax and follow a little red ball on a calming adventure while exploring themes such as wheels, rainbows and music. It was commissioned by Sky Kids in the U.K. and Ireland.

Thunderbird also inked new deals for Mittens & Pants. Tubi and the public library-affiliated streamer Kanopy picked up the series for the U.S. Other deals were signed with beIN in MENA, NRK in Norway and Alibaba’s Youku in China. BeIN picked up the first season, while NRK and Youku took both. Also, Beijing 24 Bridges will be selling both seasons of the series in China.

Mittens & Pants follows the adventures of best friends Mittens the kitten and Pants the puppy, who lived in the all-animal town of Kibble Corners. The series was originally commissioned by CBC Kids and Sky Kids.

“With this latest group of sales, BooSnoo! and Mittens & Pants continue to demonstrate the appeal to media platforms worldwide of bespoke, niche original series made with the highest production values,” said Richard Goldsmith, Thunderbird’s president of global distribution and consumer products. “Each series is truly unique amongst the wide range of content available in the current market, and they both have tremendous potential to become globally popular brands.”
