9 Story Distribution International has acquired worldwide rights outside of the U.K. for two of Snipple Originals’ animated preschool series: The Woohoos! and The Singalings.
The 52×7-minute preschool comedy The Woohoos! follows Wynona the puffin, Iggy the wolfhound, Scotty the highland bull and Elli the hare as they wonder at the natural world all around them. Each episode brings an exciting “Ooo” moment, a new discovery that needs explaining, and then when the characters find the answer, they say, “Woohoo!” The Woohoos! was commissioned by Milkshake! and is set to premiere in the U.K. in November.
The 26×5-minute The Singalings features music, comedy and earworms for young audiences. The series kicks off each episode with a song and centers on three inquisitive and eager extraterrestrials, Melody, Harmony and Bop, who are here to discover all they can about Earth. The Singalings currently airs on Sky Kids in the U.K.
Kaine Patel, CEO of Snipple, said, “The team at 9 Story really sees the potential for our shows and has a strong, globally recognized distribution outfit.”
He added, “We are delighted that the series we have grown and nurtured are sitting alongside so many other brilliant award-winning children’s series in their catalog. Their enthusiasm, experience and professionalism have really shone through!”
“We are thrilled to add The Woohoos! and The Singalings to our robust portfolio of high-quality children’s content,” said Alix Wiseman, senior VP of distribution and acquisitions for 9 Story. “The series are a fantastic fit with our mission to bring fresh, diverse and engaging programs to kids around the world. We look forward to working with the talented Snipple team to introduce these vibrant, funny and highly entertaining shows to new audiences.”
