French animation distributor has picked up international rights to Folivari and Blue Spirit original "The Baker Street Four" and Hype Animation and Punkrobot's "Guitar and Drum".
A+E joined DPG Media Group’s Belgian channel VTM and RTL Germany’s NTV in acquiring the series which also plays out across Quintus Studios’ Free Documentary channel in the US, UK, AUS, India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Under the new name and brand identity, early Peyo characters, including “The Smurfs” and other IPs, will be revived using modern animation with new stories inspired by the original “Johan & Peewit” and “Benny Breakiron” comic books.
