COSGROVE HALL FILMS CREATE ENGIE BENJY

THE boy with the blue hair is Engie Benjy and along with his friends he's getting ready to take over the world as the new hero of children's television on CiTV in 2002.
In their Silver Anniversary year the masters of animation at Cosgrove Hall Films, one of the Europe’s largest animation companies, have taken humour, creativity, fun and the imagination of children that little bit further. You can step inside the new vibrant and colourful world of Engie Benjy the engine doctor and his very special team, Dan the Van and Jollop the dog. Together the trio of engine menders turn the adult/child relationship upside down by helping all sorts of characters from bossy Dottie the bus driver, cry baby Pilot Pete to mumbling Farmer Fred and nutty Fisherman Fin.
In all 26 x 10-minute episodes (available internationally in 2002) of the unique world of Engie Benjy have been brought to life using a mixture of CGI and stop-motion animation. In Engie's world, imbued with a child's logic and imagination, planes creep out to have parties at night, buses get tired and need holidays. Woodland trees leap into the sky to play with Space Ship and Farmer Fred's fruity fizz cloud, waters the ice-lolly fields
every day.
Cosgrove Hall Films Managing Director, Iain Pelling, said: " Engie Benjy has already proved a massive hit at Mipcom and that was just the brochure. It's without doubt a stunning piece of children's animation with huge merchandise and licensing possibilities but above all it's great to watch even for the 'big kids'." (CD)
