The Foundation To Produce New Children's CG Series

The Foundation, part of the newly formed Zodiak Media Group, have inked a deal with TT Animation to create and produce a brand new children's CG animation, which will be unveiled at MIPCOM.
Buddy Patrol, created and produced by TT Animation in partnership with The Foundation, is an interactive CG animated series aimed at four to six-year-olds, based on the day-to-day life of a kid cop.
Buddy is a young boy whose job is to keep the peace in Fair City with the help of his partner and invisible buddy - the viewer. In each episode, Buddy is faced with a challenging set of circumstances that he has to overcome with his 'buddy' - which is easier said than done when Fair City's community includes a dragon, pirate, clown, cowboy and a yeti!
Buddy Patrol aims to stimulate curiosity and inspire young children to think about moral problems in a fun way, tackling children's understanding of right and wrong by fighting 'crimes' such as not sharing, refusing to tidy up and rescuing a princess who doesn't want to be rescued.
Nigel Pickard, Group Director Kids and Family Entertainment, Zodiak UK, commented: "Buddy Patrol is a high-quality CG animation using state-of-the-art motion capture technology. This unique children's series takes a fresh and contemporary look at relevant issues that children of this age-group can relate to, but in a fun and interactive way. We are excited to be partnering with TT Animation on this project and unveiling such an exciting series this MIPCOM, which adds another dimension to our existing portfolio."
Buddy Patrol's Executive Producers are Nigel Pickard and Vanessa Hill for The Foundation and Jon Burton for TT Animation.
The series' Co-Creator, Producer and Writer is Jocelyn Stevenson. Chris Dicker is Co-Creator and Designer.
Zodiak Rights, part of Zodiak Media Group, the new international rights business combining RDF Rights and Zodiak Entertainment Distribution, retains worldwide rights to the property.
