WildBrain has secured a wave of international distribution agreements for the animated preschool series Brave Bunnies.

New partnerships for seasons one and two have been inked with TeleTOON+ (CANAL+ Poland), Channel 5’s Milkshake! (U.K.) and Rai Yoyo (Italy). Additionally, season one has been picked up by CNC Media International (South Korea) and Stan (Australia), along with becoming available on the WildBrain+ SVOD channel on Comcast in the U.S.

Aimed at kids aged 2 to 5, the 104×7-minute Brave Bunnies follows Boo and her big brother, Bop, as they travel the world with their Ma and Pa in their Bunny Bus.

The new distribution deals come as producers WildBrain, Glowberry, Anima Kitchent and KidsMe launch the brand-new second season of the series, following last year’s announcement of their global partnership on the brand. Under the partnership, WildBrain handles global distribution of the series, while Glowberry manages distribution in Ukraine, KidsMe in Italy and Anima Kitchent in Spain.

In consumer products, WildBrain CPLG handles licensing and merchandising worldwide, outside of Ukraine, where licensing is handled by Glowberry, and Italy, where licensing and merchandising is handled by KidsMe.

Caroline Tyre, VP of global sales and rights strategy at WildBrain, said: “It’s easy to understand why we continue to see strong demand for Brave Bunnies from broadcasters and streamers worldwide. Through catchy songs, adorable characters and big adventures, the charming series engages kids everywhere, appealing to their sense of joy and imagination. It also fosters values of curiosity, creativity, acceptance and openness, encouraging kids to discover what they might have in common with new friends, while also celebrating what makes them different.”

Olga Cherepanova, Glowberry co-founder and creative producer on the series, added: “With Brave Bunnies, I wanted to create a series that would encourage children to be curious about the world around them, and to not only respect but celebrate its diversity. It’s rewarding to see children around the world connect so strongly with these important values through the show’s lovable characters and their adventures.”
