“The Tinies”
MIAM! distribution's latest upper-preschool sitcom comedy, "The Tinies", has been picked up by WildBrain Television (Canada), NPO (Netherlands), and RTS (Switzerland). These new partnerships add to the growing international excitement for "The Tinies", which has already been acquired by TV5 Monde, Télé Quebec, RTÉ, Bein, LTV, MiniMini+, ERR, and Canal+ Afrique.
The series is produced by MIAM! animation in coproduction with Panique! and Lunanime with Canal+, VRT-Ketnet and RTBF as commissioning broadcasters. The series is set to premiere in France in October 2025 and the international sales are handled by MIAM! distribution.
With 50x11’ episodes and a 22’ Christmas special, "The Tinies" is a character-driven sitcom that drops upper-preschoolers into the bustling, toy-built world of Attic Town. Every day brings a new adventure (or minor disaster!), but luckily, Ollie and her best friend Titus, turn their crafting skills into superpowers to solve everyday problems in a sustainable way.
“At MIAM!, we believe in stories that inspire action,” says Hanna Mouchez, CEO and Executive Producer at MIAM! animation. “'The Tinies' is more than a show—it’s an invitation for kids to play, upcycle, and see their imagination come to life by crafting their own toys like their heroes. In doing so, they develop self -confidence, problem-solving skills, and a mindset for sustainability—values that have resonated with our dear broadcasting partners. We’re thrilled to see the series land on home channels where kids will discover our show and what makes it so special: a mix of comedy, creativity, and a vibrant ensemble of toy characters, each bringing their own quirks and talents to their hand-made Attic Town.”
Veronica Manzerolle, Director Programming and Acquisitions at WildBrain Television says: “'The Tinies' is a wonderful addition to our programming lineup. With its creativity, humour and themes of sustainability, we know Canadian kids and their families will fall in love with the series”.
Marije Brouwer, Programme Buyer at NPO adds: “'The Tinies' is a fresh, inventive series that delivers humor, creativity and friendship while championing sustainability making it a wonderful addition to our programming slate”.
Saskia Krijnen, Children’s Programming Consultant RTS concludes: “This show’s mix of comedy, friendship, and DIY fun makes it a wonderful addition to our preschool programming slate.”
