Headspinner Productions with the support of CBC Gem and CBC Kids and the CMF Digital Linear Series Fund announce Season 2 of their award-winning series Gisele’s Mashup Adventures, starring and executive produced by Canadian preschool star Gisele Corinthios. Twenty new episodes both live-action and animation will be produced for S2, with animation by Cartoon Conrad.
Created by Corinthios and Headspinner Principal Michelle Melanson, the series is by kids for kids: Gisele chats with each kid consultant as they come up with imaginative story ideas culminating in three words being chosen to go into the “Mashup Mixer.” The child’s ideas are then generated into a fun animated adventure with Gisele and our kid consultant turned into animated characters.
Season 1 of the series (funded by the CMF/Shaw Rocket Fund Digital Animated Series Fund) won Best Animated Series at the T.O. Webfest awards and was nominated for a 2024 Kidscreen Award. The series currently airs on CBC Kids in Canada and streams on CBC Gem, Headspinner Kids YouTube Channel, Kabillion (U.S.), Binge TV (U.S.) and is part of the MacMillian Educational platform as well as ASL versions on the Broadly Available and Accessible Media (BAAM) Project Platform. The series is distributed by Headspinner Productions.
