MIPJunior has announced the world premiere TV screening of the brand-new preschool series, Gigantosaurus, from Cyber Group Studios for Disney Junior.
The kids’ entertainment industry event, MIPJunior will take place in Cannes, France on 13 and 14 October 2018, ahead of the global entertainment content market MIPCOM, which runs from 15 to 18 October.
Based on the bestselling book by renowned author Jonny Duddle and published by Templar, Gigantosaurus is a full-CGI comedy action series which enables preschool viewers to embark on the adventures of four young dinosaur friends as they explore their prehistoric world and the mystery of Gigantosaurus, the biggest and fiercest dinosaur of them all.
Gigantosaurus will be launched on Disney Junior worldwide (excluding India, China, and Taiwan) in early 2019, and will then air on major broadcast networks such as France Télévisions and Germany’s Super RTL, plus Netflix almost worldwide.
Cyber Group Studios chairman and CEO Pierre Sissmann says, “It is a privilege for us to have Gigantosaurus selected this year for the MIPjunior World Premiere TV Screening. It is a tribute to Jonny Duddle’s creations and to our artists at Cyber Group Studios who have done marvellous work in recreating a full Jurassic environment with our four little dinosaur heroes—Tiny, Rocky, Mazu, and Bill living great preschool adventures together with Gigantosaurus, the biggest dinosaur of all.”
“We’re delighted to present Gigantosaurus as the MIPJunior World Premiere TV screening. This new production from Cyber Group Studios for Disney Junior illustrates the high-quality production coming out of the creative French animation industry and will be an exciting exclusive premiere for the MIPJunior audience ahead of its broadcast early next year,” said MIPJunior director Lucy Smith.
