Tales from Outer Suburbia<\/em>, based on the best-selling book by Shaun Tan, leads its slate. When siblings Klara and Pim move to Outer Suburbia with their mother, the family goes on a roller-coaster ride of emotion, encountering weird and miraculous phenomena as they adapt to their new reality.<\/p>\n The preschool series Knee High Spies<\/em> is a mix of live-action and puppetry. \u201cIt brings high-energy thrills and the white-knuckle suspense of an espionage blockbuster to a young audience, reimagining exotic cinematic locations in a relatable domestic setting,\u201d Hegarty explains.<\/p>\n The family-friendly live-action film Windcatcher<\/em> sees 10-year-old Percy Boy Collins and his crew of friends outsmart a gang of bullies to triumph at their school\u2019s athletics carnival. The movie \u201cdoesn\u2019t shy away from life\u2019s bigger themes\u2014fear, loss, belonging\u2014but tackles them with a gentle hand, guiding audiences through Percy\u2019s journey with a spirit of adventure and a heart full of hope,\u201d Hegarty says.<\/p>\n Hegarty goes on to say, \u201cKids of all backgrounds and nationalities have one thing in common: they love laughter, adventure and stories that enthrall and entertain. So, whether it\u2019s Klara and her brother Pim having surreal adventures in their new neighborhood in Tales from Outer Suburbia<\/em>, Jeremy Buttons solving puzzles to thwart the evil exploits of arch rival Silver Paw in Knee High Spies<\/em> or Percy Boy facing some difficult challenges of his own in Windcatcher<\/em>, broadcasters from around the globe will find content here that offers their audience a truly fabulous viewing experience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Australian Children\u2019s Television Foundation has on offer \u201csomething to suit all broadcasters of children\u2019s content,\u201d says Tim Hegarty, international sales manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[412,411,10558,10919,10044,9753],"class_list":["post-30597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-actf","tag-australian-childrens-television-foundation","tag-knee-high-spies","tag-tales-from-outer-suburbia","tag-tim-hegarty","tag-windcatcher","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
