"Baby Lemmings"
French company HARI has greenlit a brand new series starring baby lemmings from its global hit series "Grizzy & The Lemmings". "Baby Lemmings" is a ‘gentle-slapstick’ CGI animated show targeting pre-schoolers and their families. HARI will deliver 78 7-minute episodes through 2025/26.
France Televisions commissioned the series for Okoo and France 4, while Warner Bros. Discovery secured the rights for Cartoonito and Max in EMEA, Cartoonito in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as Cartoon Network in South Asia. Super RTL licensed the rights in Germany for Toggo.
For the Baby Lemmings, the whole world is a playground, and there’s nothing better than sharing this life philosophy with their little animal neighbours in the Canadian forest.
Josselin Charier - HARI says: “At first glance, blending the craziness of slapstick with the gentle nature of preschool content seemed an impossible task. However, it's in the core DNA of the lemmings to be playful. And it’s through this boundless playfulness that we discovered the perfect formula for a preschool audience: stories where any challenge can be overcome through games.”
Aurélie Wack – Warner Bros. Discovery, Kids EMEA, Acquisitions & Co-Productions Sr. Manager says: "We’re very excited to continue our partnership with Hari for this brand-new animated series, 'Baby Lemmings'. It is perfect for our Cartoonito and Max upper-preschool audiences who can count on the playful baby lemmings to bring endless fun and heart-warming moments!"
This brand new series follows the global success of "Grizzy & The Lemmings", now broadcast in 200 territories globally. It is the number one most watched animated kids show (for six plus) on Netflix worldwide, and is consistently in the top three animated series on France TV’s Okoo, the UK’s CBBC and Toggo in Germany (Super RTL). The show delivers outstanding ratings on TV channels around the world and generates 1.3 billion views per year on YouTube (with nine million subscribers).
