The Ghost of Midwinter, an animated holiday special from Cardiff-based Cloth Cat, has been taken on for worldwide (excluding Wales) representation by Serious Kids.
Broadcast on S4C on Christmas Day, the special was funded entirely through S4C, Creative Wales Skills Fund, and Cloth Cat.
“Building on Cloth Cat’s experience producing and animating series like Shane the Chef, Luo Bao Bei, and Dave Spud, this is our first original broadcast film and wholly owned IP,” said Jon Rennie, MD of the Welsh studio. “We hope this will be the first of many more Welsh stories. This is our first collaboration with Serious Kids, and we look forward to working with them!”
“We fell in love with the classic nature of this special, featuring a strong heroine who achieves everything she set out to do and more,” said Genevieve Dexter, founder & CEO. “The star performance of the ghost, coupled with the stirring music and gorgeous backgrounds, makes this an important film for us. Spanning Halloween and winter seasons, it also provides good flexibility for programming.”
