VRT Ketnet, Téléquebec, YLE, Warner Bros. Discovery Italy, RTS, and SVT have picked up the 3DCG preschool comedy series following its BBC launch.
Xilam Animation has inked a number of new broadcast pre-sales for its 3DCG preschool comedy series, Piggy Builders. Originally commissioned by BBC, France Télévisions, and ZDF, the series has sold to VRT Ketnet, Téléquebec, YLE, Warner Bros. Discovery, RTS, and SVT.
Piggy Builders is directed by Romain Villemaine (Ricky Zoom, Maya the Bee) and premiered on Cbeebies and BBC iPlayer this past July 28.
The show follows Cornelia, Cesar, and Charlie, a trio of charismatic and curly-tailed piggy siblings who live in Fine Forest.
France TV Distribution has been appointed as the licensing agent for Piggy Builders in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Xilam is also building a merchandise offering for Piggy Builders across categories, including toys, plushies, apparel, and publishing.
“Since introducing Piggy Builders to the international market, the response across the board has been fantastic – firstly with BBC, France Télévisions and ZDF jointly boarding the series, and now welcoming a range of additional leading broadcasters into the fold,” said Safaa Benazzouz, EVP Distribution at Xilam Animation. “We’re very much looking forward to seeing our little piggies entertain young audiences and their families around the world, through their humorous adventures and charming stories of teamwork.”
