Global distributor Superights has acquired the rights to distribute Silly Sundays (78×7’) internationally created by Nuria Gonzalez Blanco and produced by Emmy and BAFTA winning and five-time Oscar nominated Irish producer Cartoon Saloon, one of Superights’ long-term partners.
Silly Sundays is a feel-good comedy for upper-preschoolers full of heart that centers around family. It follows the story of three kids Sonia, Hugo, Mel with their parents and granny, on days when there is nothing scheduled except spending time with family and friends. It focuses on their Sunday journeys and mostly their fun times as they embrace every little moment together.
The series has been presold to RTEJr in Ireland and premiered on 2 July 2023. The program has also been acquired by and is currently rolling out on Cartoonito and Max/HBO Max with Warner Bros. Discovery for EMEA, LatAM and the US.
Superights deputy general manager Nathalie Pinguet said, “It’s a real pleasure to finally welcome Silly Sundays to our catalogue. Its highly original graphic style and the quality of its writing make it a delightful series that makes you want to spend your Sundays by the sea with your family! We are going to complete the work started by Cartoon Saloon and export the series around the globe.”
Cartoon Saloon managing director Gerry Shirren added, “We are delighted to once again partner with the Superights team and are excited to see the market launch of Silly Sundays at MIPTV. Silly Sundays has been a labor of love for the production team at Cartoon Saloon over the last four years, ever since the series made its now acclaimed pitch at Cartoon Forum that wowed the audiences there and now we hope will find the same excitement with broadcasters and audiences around the world joining those that are already watching on RTE and Cartoonito and MAX.”
Superights will be in charge of enhancing the visibility of this groundbreaking series internationally and this will start during MIPTV from 8 to 10 April.
