Portfolio Entertainment, an international producer and distributor of kids programming and factual and unscripted entertainment has announced it will be bringing its latest animated kids comedy series Freaktown as well as three new specials from the hit series The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That! to MIPTV 2015 for distribution worldwide.
The much-anticipated 26 half-hour (52×11’) animated series Freaktown aimed at 6-11 year olds is the newest production from Portfolio Entertainment. The TELETOON Canada-commissioned series follows the adventures of skeleton Ben Bones and his freaky friends as they protect their town from takeover by Princess Boo Boo the Bouncy, the spoiled brat ruler of Sweatlandia.
Also making their market debut are three new The Cat in The Hat Knows A Lot About That! specials (3 x 1 hour): The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Camping!, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot about Halloween! and The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Space!. The specials are geared to kids 2-5 and are based on the highly-celebrated series commissioned by PBS Kids and Treehouse and inspired by Dr. Seuss’ iconic books.
“Freaktown is loaded with visually stunning animation and wonderfully twisted storytelling. It is a standout show for kids 6-11,” said Portfolio Entertainment co-founder & CEO Joy Rosen. “We’re also very excited to be launching three new specials of The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That to MIPTV. Available in over 110 countries, these new one-hour specials capture the spirit and humor of the original series.”
