The 16-part show introduces five animal characters through short stories that help children\u00a0learn how to deal with such real-life issues as stress, bullying and loneliness. It will become available exclusively on MTG&#8217;s Nordic streaming service Viaplay in September.<\/p>\n<p>MTG Studios currently has more than 50 original productions in the pipeline. <em>The Great Escape<\/em>, the company&#8217;s first kids&#8217; original, debuted late last year.<\/p>\n<p>Jakob Mejlhede, the executive VP of programming and content development at MTG, commented: \u201cStreaming is part of everyday life for viewers of all ages, and that makes Viaplay a natural home for snappy content that explores some of the most relevant questions for kids today. Our younger audiences can look forward to even more great storytelling as we accelerate along our path to becoming the Nordic region\u2019s leading producer of original content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ira Gladnikoff, the head of Viaplay, added: \u201cIn less than a year, Viaplay has created a high-quality original portfolio that perfectly complements our amazing film and sport offering.
