The series has improved the company\u2019s sustainability. Previously, Bumpybox created over 75 episodes of <em>My Petsaurus<\/em> for CBeebies. It was also an animation partner on Michael Morpurgo\u2019s<em> Kensuke\u2019s Kingdom<\/em>, featuring Cillian Murphy and Sally Hawkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on developing <em>Mini Buds<\/em>\/<em>Egin Bach<\/em> for a long time,\u201d said Sam Wright, producer and director at Bumpybox. \u201cIt actually started out as an idea we had while still studying at the University of South Wales over 13 years ago. It\u2019s amazing that with the help of Creative Wales, we\u2019ll be able to finally bring this to audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright continued, \u201cThe production means a lot to our company, as it will allow us to expand our staff, offer training for new animators, work with new broadcast partners and sell overseas greatly increasing the outlook of our business. We\u2019re very grateful to all the assistance we\u2019ve received in getting to this stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe animation industry is a key priority for Creative Wales, and I\u2019m delighted that we have been able to support this exciting new development from the team at Bumpybox,\u201d added Sarah Murphy, Minister for Creative Industries. \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic news that this funding has allowed a home-grown company to build its workforce for such larger scale projects. This growth will also provide excellent opportunities for new graduates to stay in Wales and find work closer to home in this exciting sector.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creative Wales has unveiled the new series Mini Buds\/Egin Bach, produced by Bumpybox, which will be available in Welsh on S4C and in English on ITV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":27659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4846,7539,9560,502,9561,3801,9562,9563],"class_list":["post-27658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bumpybox","tag-creative-wales","tag-egin-bach","tag-itv","tag-mini-buds","tag-s4c","tag-sam-wright","tag-sarah-murphy","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Creative Wales Introduces Mini Buds - 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\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Creative Wales Introduces Mini Buds - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Creative Wales has unveiled the new series Mini Buds\/Egin Bach, produced by Bumpybox, which will be available in Welsh on S4C and in English on ITV.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-03T14:20:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-03T14:20:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/06\/CreativeWales-Minibuds-0524.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\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\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/\",\"name\":\"Creative Wales Introduces Mini Buds - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-03T14:20:16+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-03T14:20:19+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/creative-wales-introduces-mini-buds\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Creative Wales Introduces Mini Buds\"}]},{\"@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\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
