The release is a result of a partnership between the creators of Ukrainian "Mavka. The Forest Song" animated feature and "Hey Duggee" animation series – Animagrad (FILM.UA Group), Studio AKA and Mother for BBC Studios.
BBC Studios took a minority stake of 25% in Mothership Productions, the unscripted indie set up by former Channel 4 Deputy Director of Programmes, Kelly Webb-Lamb.
ITV has announced the appointment of Mother’s Niki Garner as the new Director in charge of ITV’s in-house advertising agency, ITV Creative. She takes on the role following the departure of Matt Scarff earlier this year.
