Epic Story Media and Warner Bros. Discovery commissioned second season of "Rymanco’s Clawlolo"

Independent content creation, distribution and licensing company Epic Story Media Inc. (ESM) has secured a commission from Warner Bros. Discovery for a second season of non-dialogue 2D musical comedy series "Clawlolo" (26 x 3’) in EMEA. Produced by Rymanco Ventures, the new instalment of the shortform series will air exclusively across Warner Bros. Discovery kids networks in EMEA, as well as its global "Cartoonito" YouTube channels. ESM holds exclusive distribution rights on the series.

Additionally, Warner Bros. Discovery has acquired season one of "Clawlolo" from ESM for its kids networks and platforms across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, following the success of the series on the "Cartoonito" App (Italy) and YouTube channels.

Created, directed and animated by Alexey Alexeev ("Mr. Bean: The Animated Series"), "Clawlolo" follows the underwater capers of Eric the Crab and his aquatic friends. Targeted at kids aged 3-9 years old whilst also being suitable for all ages, the series is designed as a daily vitamin for kids’ brains to boost and recharge their emotional strength. The Children’s Hospital HUG in Geneva is also screening the series as a dose of joy and laughter for its patients.

“Our entire team is excited that 'Clawlolo' is embarking on a new chapter with its second season. I’m confident it reflects Warner Bros. Discovery’s distinctive artistic vision. We’re grateful to our partners at Epic Story Media, whose deep experience in delivering high-quality creative projects—and genuine passion—have made this collaboration possible,” Lucy Tsoy, Producer at Rymanco, commented.

The first season of "Clawlolo" was selected for a number of international film festivals, including "Annecy International Animation Film Festival", "London International Film Festival", "Sapporo Family & Children Program", "Brooklyn Film Festival", "Montreal Festival Du Nouveau Cinéma", and "Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival". The deal was negotiated by Jessica Labi from Epic Story Media with Aurélie Wack, Acquisitions & Co-productions Senior Manager, Kids & Family EMEA at Warner Bros. Discovery.

Jessica Labi, Head of Distribution and Brand Strategy of Epic Story Media, celebrated the title: “With its positivity, charm and friendly characters, 'Clawlolo' has made a strong connection with audiences of all ages, and it’s been a joy to watch this unique universe inspire creativity and laughter as its global fanbase grows. We’re thrilled to be extending our partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, as we look to expand 'Clawlolo'’s world and bring even more humour and heart to kids and families around the world," noted.

Aurélie Wack, Acquisitions & Co-productions Senior Manager, Kids & Family EMEA at Warner Bros. Discovery, expressed confidence in the impact it will have in EMEA: “We’re excited to elevate the digital-first 'Clawlolo' IP on our platforms and networks across EMEA. Its fun, catchy, character-driven appeal makes it a natural fit for our 'Cartoonito' portfolio and one we know our audience of little kids will love. This partnership with ESM reflects our commitment to delivering quirky, vibrant, and innovative content that resonates with kids and families everywhere," highlighted.
