Pablo: Next Level, a follow-up to the acclaimed CBeebies series that sold into 190 markets, is set to premiere on CBBC and BBC iPlayer in September, targeting 5- to 8-year-olds.

The animated feature Kiri and Lou Go Raaa! from CAKE and New Zealand’s Stretchy is part of the official selection at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, screening on June 24 and followed by a Q&A with voice actors Jemaine Clement and Olivia Tennet and animation director Antony Elworthy.

In a deal with World Events Productions (WEP), CAKE has secured the international distribution rights to the animated series in the iconic Voltron franchise.

CAKE has picked up a minority stake in KidsKnowBest, the data-driven insights and influencer strategy agency founded by Joel Silverman.
