Banijay Kids & Family has acquired the rights to preschool animation series "Charlie and Lola." “'Charlie and Lola' is a really strong, evergreen property which continues to attract young global audiences," Delphine Dumont, Chief Commercial Officer, Banijay Kids & Family said.
A Tiger Aspect Kids & Family property, "Charlie and Lola" has won various industry accolades, including multiple Children’s BAFTAs. The iconic series, which combines 2D cut-out style animation and photomontage with a children’s voice cast, is based on the award-winning picture book series by Lauren Child. There have been three seasons to-date, totalling 78x11’ and 2x22’ episodes, which first launched on CBeebies in 2005.

It has created popular series, including "Mr Bean: The Animated Series," "Aliens Love Underpants," "Tinga Tinga Tales," "Danny & Mick," "Corpse Talk," and the recently announced "Super Happy Magic Forest." Banijay Kids & Family is part of media and entertainment powerhouse, Banijay.
"I am such a huge fan of this series and with our strengthened commercial capabilities across distribution, digital and licensing, we feel there is huge potential for us to amplify the brand internationally," Dumont said.
