NEW YORK: In partnership with TVO Kids, Big Bad Boo Studios has greenlit production on the new animated series 16 Hudson<\/em>.<\/p>\n The first season will consist of 39 7-minute episodes for TV, as well as a digital media component. 16 Hudson<\/em> follows the adventures of four neighbors in a big city. Lili, Sam, Amala and Luc all come from different cultural backgrounds and live at 16 Hudson along with the elderly Mrs. Oldstein and a super named Ivan. The kids have fun together and embrace their similarities and differences.<\/p>\n The series is intended for kids preschool age and older and aims to promote \u201ckindergarten readiness,\u201d particularly as it relates to oral language, math, vocabulary and problem-solving skills. Additional partners on the series include Knowledge Network, CBC Radio Canada, ICI TV, the Cogeco Fund and the Shaw Rocket Fund.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is our goal to create shows that are well-balanced and reflect the true nature of the world kids live in today,\u201d said Shabnam Rezaei, who co-created the show. \u201cMy daughter has friends with all kinds of backgrounds and those values are not being represented on the screen. We are here to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n Rezaei added: \u201cWe are very excited to start production. I think that the fun adventures tied with the diverse traits and backgrounds of each character will stand strong on its own. I can\u2019t wait to see how the target audience will respond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEW YORK: In partnership with TVO Kids, Big Bad Boo Studios has greenlit production on the new animated series 16 Hudson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1935,1450,1936],"class_list":["post-11055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-16-hudson","tag-big-bad-boo-studios","tag-tvo-kids","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
