Distribution360 has secured several deals across territories in Asia for a wide range of its kids’ programming. Diane Rankin, Distribution360’s SVP rights, comments: “I am delighted to see so many of our recent kids’ titles find such great homes across Asia. Whether for pre-schoolers or older age groups, we purposely set out to fill our kids’ catalogue with distinctive shows that not only entertain and inform in new and exciting ways but that also have a sense of optimism about them. Super Mighty Makers is one such series as it shows kids having fun while also having a positive impact on people’s lives by making stuff that is helpful and useful to others”.
