9 Story Distribution International has sold Dylan’s Playtime Adventures (52 x 11 minutes) to British preschool channel CBeebies, which will air the show this fall.
Toronto’s 9 Story Media Group and its Brown Bag Films animation studio (Toronto and Bali locations) are producing this 2D/CG-animated series, which stars a colorfully striped pooch who tries his hand at jobs ranging from train conductor, to nurse, to astronaut.
CBC Kids (Canada) and Warner Bros. Discovery (US) commissioned Dylan’s Playtime Adventures last year. It will premiere in Canada this spring, and then make its way to WBD’s Cartoonito block later in the year.
9 Story Brands manages worldwide consmer products rights for the IP in all categories except publishing, where it originated as a picture book series by British author/illustrator Guy Parker-Rees. Scholastic has published four titles in the range since 2016.
Dylan’s Playtime Adventures joins more than 5,000 half hours of kids and family programming in 9 Story Distribution’s robust portfolio, which also includes in-demand shows such as Lu & the Bally Bunch and A Kind of Spark.
