Through these agreements, <em>Sunny Bunnies<\/em> will roll out into more than 130 territories in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new three-year deals, the first season of <em>Sunny Bunnies<\/em> will launch on Disney Junior in the U.S. in 2017, on Disney\u2019s CEEMA channels in all territories, on Disney Channel in Turkey and across free- and pay-TV Disney Channels in Spain and Spanish-speaking Andorra. Disney Japan, meanwhile, has taken the exclusive rights to the series in a deal that marks <em>Sunny Bunnies<\/em>\u2019 TV premiere in the territory.<\/p>\n<p>The latest round of Disney deals follows on the heels of sales to Disney Channel in Russia and CIS, Disney Junior for multiple Asia-Pacific markets and to Canal Panda in Portugal. The series is produced by Belarus-based Digital Light Studio. Media I.M. has exclusive worldwide rights for the series outside of Russia, CIS and China.<\/p>\n<p>The show features five beaming balls that can appear anywhere there is a source of light, from sunshine to moonlight. In each episode, the creatures bring fun and games to a different location, ranging from the circus to a sports stadium to a park, as they set off on mischievous adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Maria Ufland, co-founder and joint managing director of Media I.M., said, \u201cThe response to <em>Sunny Bunnies <\/em>has been unprecedented for a show from a relatively unknown studio from a country which is not known for its TV productions. The deal with Disney in so many territories is a massive vote of confidence for this show, proving that excellent-quality original content can come from any place. We believe that <em>Sunny Bunnies<\/em> will be a global hit and are delighted that our gut feeling that this show is truly something special is proving right. It\u2019s given us a huge impetus to continue to seek further quality content in unexpected places.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON: Media I.M. has sold the CGI-animated comedy Sunny Bunnies to Disney for its channels in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Africa and AsiaPac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":11627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[110,112,1244,1245],"class_list":["post-11626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-disney","tag-disney-junior","tag-media-i-m","tag-sunny-bunnies","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Disney Acquires Comedy Sunny Bunnies - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Disney Acquires Comedy Sunny Bunnies - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LONDON: Media I.M. has sold the CGI-animated comedy Sunny Bunnies to Disney for its channels in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Africa and AsiaPac.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-01-23T15:46:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-01-23T19:20:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2015\/09\/SunnyBunnies-MediaIM-117.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/\",\"name\":\"Disney Acquires Comedy Sunny Bunnies - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-01-23T15:46:08+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-01-23T19:20:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/disney-acquires-comedy-sunny-bunnies\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Disney Acquires Comedy Sunny Bunnies\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
