Kaito Entertainment, co-founded by Hannah Dubcoff and Jonathan Abraham, has expanded its slate with two new acquisitions and announced a raft of deals ahead of MIPCOM.
Joining the company’s lineup are the preschool series Tea Town Teddy Bears, created by Rob Hudnut, and Beep Boop, produced by Lazy Sunday for the 6-plus demo.
Dubcoff commented, “Both series have universal themes, distinctive creative identities, and strong international appeal. As broadcasters continue to seek premium kids’ content that combines entertainment with meaningful storytelling, we believe these series are perfectly positioned to resonate with audiences around the world.”
Abraham added, “Our focus has always been on representing exceptional IP with long-term franchise potential. These two series complement our growing slate of premium children’s brands, and we’re looking forward to introducing them to our extensive network of broadcast and streaming partners.”
Meanwhile, the firm has also scored new deals for properties on its slate. Baby Einstein is headed to Sandbox (Brazil), Mercury TV (USA), MeeVee (worldwide) and Linguana (South Korea). Tulipop Tales has been picked up by ABS-CBN (Philippines), Sandbox Kids (Worldwide), Mercury TV (USA) and HRT (Croatia). Monchhichi was acquired by Amazon Prime Direct (USA), Cycle Kids (U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia), Future Today (USA), BR360 (USA), Mercury TV (USA) and Mevee (worldwide), sub-distributing for French distribution company Moonkeys.
