TV Kids Screenings Festival: ZDF Enterprises

ZDF Enterprises is showcasing a varied mix in the TV Kids Screenings Festival, including the returning preschool production School of Roars, which helps children prepare for school life.

“Now in its second season, our series is full of monster laughs and teaches the core values of life,” says Peter Lang, VP ZDFE.junior. “Going to school is something children all over the world experience and can relate to. The series introduces children to the first year of school and shows them that it’s full of fun and not scary at all.”

For audiences 6-plus, Lang highlights The Muscleteers, a comedy adventure. “Swashbuckling mouse Ernie, poetic hamster Bertram, hypochondriac house mouse Picandou and resourceful lab rat Josephine—together, they are The Muscleteers,” Lang says. “In action-filled tales of intrigue and hilarity, these daring rodents band together to help those who cannot help themselves.” Also on offer is Scream Street, based on the hit book series by Tommy Donbavand. Lang bills it as a “fast-paced, stylish, comedy-horror extravaganza…packed full of humor and horror, delivered with warmth and heart.”

Zoom—The White Dolphin, meanwhile, targets a broad 4 to 10 audience. “Now in its second season, it is a proven hit in Europe with outstanding ratings,” Lang says. “The eco-friendly series is about every child’s dream: having a dolphin as a best friend! The young viewers plunge into an amazing natural world in this series full of comedy and danger, where adventure awaits at the tip of your diving fins.”
