Bejuba! Entertainment has acquired the worldwide distribution rights for Grounded, a new 52 x 11′ buddy comedy for kids six to 11, created by Mike Blum of Pipsqueak Animation (U.S.A.) and Remy Labaki of Hey Daisy Moon Productions (Scotland). Tatiana Kober of Bejuba! Entertainment will serve as an executive producer on the series. The team are looking for broadcast and production partners.
Grounded tells the story of two free-spirited, amiable caterpillars who missed the butterfly call but still exuberantly embrace their unique outlook from the bottom rung of their sky-high society. The producers say the show’s kid-relatable, offbeat characters and heartwarming themes that encourage kids to be themselves set it up to be a hit with audiences and critics.
“We are excited to introduce Grounded to the global market and to work with the talented teams at Pipsqueak Animation and Hey Daisy Moon Productions,” said Kober. “We love that the heroes of the show have one great super power — always being their own authentic selves — and have no doubt that the series will resonate with kids and families around the world.”
Emmy-nominated studio Pipsqueak Animation has a long history of producing, directing, writing and delivering award-winning animated productions (Fifi: Cat Therapist, Get My Goat, Samurai! Daycare) for major clients like DreamWorks TV, Netflix, Cartoon Network, MTV, Comedy Central, truTV and Disney, among many others.
Recently awarded one of the top emergent production companies in Scotland, Hey Daisy Moon Productions specializes in high-quality animation and a multi-platform strategy.
