"Simon Super Rabbit"
GO-N Productions announces a raft of sales for the latest season of the beloved preschool standout animation series "Simon Super Rabbit". Currently in production with France Televisions, GO-N has closed presales for Season 5 (52x5’) of the hit series to SVT (Sweden), RTS (Switzerland), DR (Denmark), Cartoonito (Warner Media) in Italy, HOP (Israel), VRT (Belgium), and Télé-Québec (Canada). With Season 5 scheduled for delivery early next year, this now brings the series total to an impressive 260 fun-filled heart-warming episodes.
In further news, broadcaster ZDF has also snapped up seasons 1 – 4 for its German free to air channel KiKA. This deal was brokered by Federation Kids & Family, who are handling worldwide sales for GO-N Productions since recently becoming part of the Federation Studios group of affiliated companies.
"Simon Super Rabbit" tells the story of an adorable rabbit who exudes all the vitality of childhood. He is at an age when little rabbits (and indeed children!) are starting to come into their own – challenging relationships with parents, starting school, and learning about the world in general. In Season 5, the adventures continue as Simon and his friends, who play at being superheroes, must use their creativity and imagination to overcome their fears and defeat Professor Wolf and his mischievous schemes. However, this season also comes with a character twist, as we meet Professor Wolf’s grandmother and little cousin who are adorable and not at all villains!
Eric Garnet, Co-Founder, GO-N Productions said: “When we created the first episodes of 'Simon Super Rabbit', we felt we had something special, but could never have foreseen how much kids worldwide would embrace the series. The characters and storylines, as well as Simon’s values really resonate with them on so many levels. As the series continues to evolve, we look forward to making further international broadcast, as well as L&M announcements over the coming months.”
Based on the best-selling books by Stephanie Blake, "Simon Super Rabbit" currently broadcasts in 150 territories worldwide. The series has also racked up over 3 billion views on YouTube alone.
With the likes of Home Made Licensing (France), Boing (Warner Media in Italy), El Ocho (Spain & Portugal), and Asiana Licensing (South Korea), GO-N continues to roll-out its international Licensing and Merchandising program for this exciting property.
