“We instantly loved this show the minute it was presented to us. Throughout the last year we’ve heard from licensees and retailers who have been watching 'Mighty Mike' with their children, telling us that 'Mighty Mike' is the perfect show to bridge the gap between preschool and a tween with families coming together to watch Mike’s humorous attempt to impress Iris, the neighbor’s poodle!” commented Sarah Lawrence, from This is Iris. "We’re thrilled to be launching with Character.com. they loved the show and together with our partners have been fantastic in developing the collection during such a challenging time for all involved in manufacturing."
“We have every confidence in this show as further deals are to be announced shortly,” Sarah Lawrence continued. “Not only is this show funny and packed with character, being non-verbal and built around our love for our pets, especially pugs, means that this show reaches a much wider audience.”

Patricia De Wilde, Director of Marketing and New Business, TeamTO, added: “We are delighted to be working with This is Iris to make 'Mighty Mike' a household name in the UK. Sarah’s original and creative approach to bringing out Mike’s inherent humor, personality, and charm is guaranteed to result in a spectacular licensing range.
