9 Story Distribution confirmed that the new animated preschool series "Dylan's Playtime Adventures" (52x11') has been licensed to the British TV channel CBeebies and is slated to air this fall. The show is produced by 9 Story Media Group and animated by its award-winning studio Brown Bag Films in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and CBC Kids. It is based on the scholastic book series by author and illustrator Guy Parker-Rees.
The series will premiere on the Canadian channel CBC Kids this spring and is expected to launch on American Cartoonito shortly. 9 Story Distribution International holds worldwide distribution rights for the series, and 9 Story Brands has worldwide consumer product rights, excluding publishing.
Joss Duffield, VP of Distribution, EME, expressed enthusiasm about the expectations generated by the series: "We are thrilled to see 'Dylan's Playtime Adventures' join the BBC Children's lineup. Fueled by creativity, this highly interactive program empowers and encourages kids to trust their hearts, imaginations, and each other. We look forward to seeing Dylan delight and captivate CBeebies' viewers later this year!"
"Dylan's Playtime Adventures" features both 2D and CG animation and follows an imaginative, multi-colored striped dog eager to role-play every career, from a train conductor to a nurse to an astronaut. With just some basic props and some great friends, Dylan transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, jumping feet first into every adventure that comes his way.
