By: Ramin Zahed

Breakthrough Entertainment's animated series Jimmy Two Shoes landed the top spot on the most-screened list at the MIPCOM Junior market this past weekend (Oct. 11, 12). Co-produced by Breakthrough, Jetix Europe and Teletoon, the 52x11 mins (or 26x30 mins) series follows the adventures of an enthusiastic 14-year-old kid, who through a series of missteps, falls into the weird world of Miseryville, where everything is designed to inflict torment onto its inhabitants. The irrepressible Jimmy and his pals Beezy and Eloise stir up the fun in his new bizarre home much to the chagrin of Miseryville's Big Cheese—Lucius Heinous the Seventh. The series is written by Alex Galatis and directed by Sean Scott and Jeff Barker and will debut on TELETOON Canada and Jetix Europe in early 2009.

The fall children's programming screening event and international conference attracted 428 sellers (up 38% from last year) , 497 buyers (up 7% from 2007) and 613 companies (up 19% from last year). This year 1,143 shows were presented at the screenings, marking an increase of 23% from the previous year. The number of screenings fell from 47,747 in 2007 to 43,200 this year.
