Jetpack Distribution has signed a number of agreements around the world for the new animated comedy Kitty is Not a Cat<\/em>, produced by BES Animation.<\/p>\n Kitty is Not a Cat<\/em> is headed to DeAgostini Editore in Italy and Disney in Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Turkey. The series was also snapped up in Australia by co-investment partner Seven Network. It is due to debut next year.<\/p>\n Bruce Kane, co-creator and producer at BES Animation said: \u201cWe are immensely proud of Kitty is Not a Cat<\/em>, a show that has far exceeded our expectations in terms of broadcaster response. With a background in producing irreverent comedy and music shows in Australia, we wanted to create a show that uniquely blends urban culture, comedy and music with stories that connect to 6- to 10-year-olds. It\u2019s a show we felt confident we could \u2018bet the farm on\u2019 and have been fortunate to work with some of the world\u2019s best partners, including Jetpack Distribution and the 7 Network. We are looking forward to growing the show\u2019s distribution and licensing plans as we head towards a successful broadcast launch in 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n Niki Hamilton, executive producer at Seven Network, noted: \u201cThis quirky and unique animation is delightful and will produce some wonderful family entertainment for the Seven Network.\u201d<\/p>\n Dominic Gardiner, the CEO Jetpack Distribution, added: \u201cWe instantly loved the retro and off-beat style of Kitty is Not a Cat<\/em>. It sweetly reverses a traditional narrative in a quirky and appealing way. Cementing deals with major platforms such as DeAgostini Editore in Italy and Disney in CEE, Middle East, Africa and Turkey is a fantastic testament to the show\u2019s massive appeal and a strong start.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jetpack Distribution has signed a number of agreements around the world for the new animated comedy Kitty is Not a Cat, produced by BES Animation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":13282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[958,1814],"class_list":["post-13281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jetpack-distribution","tag-kitty-is-not-a-cat","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
