TREE FU TOM SOARS TO NUMBER ONE

MIPTV, Sunday 01 April, 2012 – Tree Fu Tom launched on CBeebies last month, achieving fantastic ratings and officially becoming the channel’s number one TV show of 2012 to date.

Tree Fu Tom became an instant hit as it premiered to superhero ratings and attracted a massive 330,000 kids aged 0-6 for the first 11 episodes. This rises to 542,000 amongst all individuals aged 4+. The landmark series averaged a 25% audience share amongst kids 0-6, rising to 30% amongst kids aged 4-6, above slot average for the broadcaster. (Source: BARB, consolidated data)

Aimed at 4-6 year olds, Tree Fu Tom combines innovative elements of heroic action, fantasy and magic, coupled with unique interactive physical activity. Set in an enchanted world where movement creates magic, viewers are encouraged to interact with the show through physical actions that have been devised and approved by movement development specialists to assist in the development of children. Former Doctor Who stars Sophie Aldred and David Tennant voice the lead characters Tom and Twigs.

Sander Schwartz, President, Kids & Family Entertainment, FME, said, “We are thrilled Tree Fu Tom has been such a huge hit with children throughout the UK. The series is exceptional and it has been a delight developing the show with the talented team at the BBC. The huge success of Tree Fu Tom on CBeebies gives us the best possible springboard for using FME’s global network to take the series around the world and explore a range of really exciting partnerships right across brand licensing, consumer products and more.”

TURNER BROADCASTING COMMISSIONS NEW LIVE-ACTION AND ANIMATION SERIES TEAM TOON

FREMANTLEMEDIA ENTERPRISES AND LARRY SCHWARZ AND HIS BAND TAKE TEAM TOON TO MIPTV

London, 29 March 2012 – Turner Broadcasting today announced the commission of a new live-action and animation series Team Toon (26 x 30 minutes), which it is co-producing with FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) and Larry Schwarz and His Band for Cartoon Network EMEA.

Turner Broadcasting has greenlit Team Toon for EMEA and Asia-Pacific where it will air on Cartoon Network, bolstering Turner’s live-action output across the regions. FME will manage the worldwide distribution of the TV series (outside of EMEA and Asia-Pacific) and handle all global ancillary rights.

Aimed at 6-11 year-olds, Team Toon is a unique combination of live-action with animation. The series follows the toon-infused adventures of Dylan, Sam, Iko and Ash, the creators of an animated online series Psycho Squirrel which plays at the start of each episode. When trouble strikes they let their imaginations run wild as Team Toon. As the gang races around town in their trusty talking Animobile solving mysteries and battling villains, they blur the line between reality and cartoon. Maybe their toon-infused adventures are real. Maybe they’re not. It really doesn’t matter to Team Toon as these kids take their play seriously.

Cecilia Persson, Vice President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions, EMEA, Turner Broadcasting said, “Team Toon is an irresistibly creative and quirky series about kids interpreting their experiences through imagination and play. By putting on their “Toon Faces”, the characters are able to create cartoons in the real world, an imaginative premise sure to strike a chord with our audience. The show uses sophisticated production techniques, both in its mixed media format and its ‘show within a show’ concept and it will be an exciting addition to our live action line-up on Cartoon Network.”

Sander Schwartz, President, Kids & Family Entertainment, FME, said, “Team Toon is a fun, dynamic show with a unique mix of live-action and animation. The crazy irreverent comedic sensibility, innovativeness and eclectic characters of Team Toon resonates well with our target audience. It is fantastic to work with Larry Schwarz and His Band on one of its original comedies and we look forward to developing Team Toon into a hit kids’ property.”

Larry Schwarz, the creator of Team Toon, and President of Larry Schwarz and His Band, said, “Team Toon combines live action and animation, but at its heart, it’s about a group of best friends and how they play together.”

Team Toon joins FME’s growing portfolio of kids’ properties which include Max Steel, a high-octane, action-adventure CGI animated series; Really Me, a tween live action sitcom; and The Aquabats Super Show, a quirky comedy adventure that combines a hybrid of concert footage, live-action skits and animation.
