Spanish children’s prodco Imira Entertainment has inked new sales with Spanish channel Canal Sur for Millimages’ Planet Grabo and Corneil & Bernie.

Canal Sur, part of Forta’s public broadcasting network, has acquired 26 x 13-minute episodes of Planet Grabo aimed at eight- to 12-year-olds, and 52 x 13-minute episodes of Corneil & Bernie,, which targets six- to 10-year-olds.

In a separate deal, Televisión de Canarias has acquired two teen TV movies from the Imira library, Scooter, Secret Agent and Wicked Science. Both 90-minute movies are produced by Jonathan M. Schiff and ZDF Enterprises.

The deals follow Imira’s recent sales to Forta channels ETB and TV Galicia in Spain, which renewed their commitment to a number of HIT Entertainment series. ETB renewed series one and two of Pingu alongside a deal to acquire seasons three to six of the animated show, while TV Galicia renewed Pingu and Sheeep.

Imira represents the rights to the Millimages and ZDF Enterprises TV catalogues in Spain, Portugal, Latin America and Hispanic US.
