WildBrain has acquired worldwide distribution rights for Alva’s World, outside the U.K., Ireland and Finland.

Produced by Irish animation studio Kavaleer Productions, Alva’s World is a fun, irreverent and forward-thinking 2D-animated show for kids from upper preschool to early elementary. The series aims to create a new canon of fables for the digital age, placing internet safety at the heart of its storytelling.

Alva’s World has been commissioned by RTÉjr (Ireland) and Sky Kids (U.K.) and produced in association with Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and B.C.P Asset Management with development funding from Creative Europe/MEDIA.

Caroline Tyre, VP of global sales and rights strategy at WildBrain, said: “Alva’s World is an important and timely series that conjures up fun and fantastical adventures, with the subtext of helping kids to navigate the online world. It’s also packed full of captivating characters that inspire kids to prioritize kindness, fairness and creativity in all their interactions—both online and off. We’re delighted to be partnering with Kavaleer to bring this innovative new series to the global market.”

Andrew Kavanaugh, show creator and CEO of Kavaleer, said: “Alva’s World is the first television series focused on providing digital water-wings for children. The series tackles a number of key areas, from cyber-bullying and online gaming to identity theft and current issues around COVID tracking and home learning. The characters and storylines have been developed to equip kids with the online wellbeing tools they need via safe, non-threatening entertainment. We feel it’s an important show and embodies the Kavaleer ethos of supporting young hearts and minds to thrive.”
