RTVE joins 'Annie & Carola' in Co-Pro with Mondo TV Iberoamérica

Mondo TV Iberoamérica Group (part of Mondo TV Group one of the largest European producers and distributors of animated content) has announced that the Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has confirmed its participation in the co-production of the animated series Annie and Carola, an exciting new and original project by the famous producer and director Myriam Ballesteros.

Details of RTVE's participation will be made known at a later stage.

Clan, the RTVE children's channel, has included Annie and Carola among the six projects of its 2020 call for animation, the annual event that is part of RTVE's commitment to support the Spanish audiovisual industry.

Annie and Carola is written by Txema Ocio and directed by Ballesteros, owner of MB Producciones. Mondo TV Iberoamérica has recently signed a strategic agreement with MB Producciones through which Mondo TV will receive most of the IP of the show and will handle the international distribution of the show. Ballesteros is a respected producer and director with many years of experience in the audiovisual industry. Its portfolio of globally successful animated series includes Lucky Fred, Lola and Virginia e Sandra: The Fairy Tale Detective.

Annie and Carola (52 x 11 ′, HD 2D) is a fun and creative animated comedy. But it is also much more. It is a unique and original project that aims to bring together a rich cast of characters whose feelings and emotions have a universal relevance, reflecting the aspirations and concerns of today's children.

Carola is a nerd with no social skills. He is also a genius. She builds a robot friend who, she thinks, will share her love of science and protect her from the world of teenagers she doesn't understand and makes her very nervous. But things don't go according to plan: an accident transforms what was supposed to be a clone of herself into a crazy and uninhibited friend, Annie, who will be able to make Carola face the situations she fears most.

The series is expected to launch in the second half of 2022.

The entire pre-production phase of the series will be supervised by Mondo TV Producciones Canarias, which will play a key role in the development of the property, further strengthening its role within the Mondo TV group and expanding the range of its offering.

“The selection of Annie and Carola of Clan TV is an important vote of confidence on the part of the channel - and it will be a great impetus for the development of this fun, intelligent and highly original series, "said Maria Bonaria Fois, CEO of Mondo TV Iberoamérica." It's a privilege for all of us at Mondo TV Iberoamérica be part of this very special project together with Myriam Ballesteros. "

Ballesteros, CEO of MB Producciones, added: “It is a real honor Annie and Carola has been selected as one of the projects supported by RTVE. It's a comedy with all the crazy situations, the visual gags and the hilarious dialogues that make the big animation but it's much more than that. Like all great comedies, Annie and Carola it has the emotional truth at its core and it has real substance to match the wacky humor. It's a combination that we believe reflects the concerns of our young audience and will have tremendous appeal to them. "
