We are excited to welcome new broadcast partners and strengthen our ties with existing ones through this wave of deals,” commented Michele Schofield, SVP of Content Distribution at One Animation.
“Oddbods” is a globally loved, twice Emmy Award-nominated, non-dialogue comedy featuring seven adorable, highly unique pals. Together, despite their differences, they survive the perils of everyday life, unintentionally turning ordinary situations into unexpected, extraordinary, and always humorous events. The quirky but totally charming "Oddbods" celebrate individuality in a funny, warm and unexpected way.
