Today, the leading global distributor of children's content Jetpack Distribution has acquired the worldwide rights to the 2D animation show for high school Alice's Diary (Alice's diary), a co-production between Portuguese Sardinha Em Lata, Spain's Alice AIE and Brazil's Geppetto Films; and the preschool 2D animation show Wussywat the Clumsy Cat, a co-production between the BAFTA-winning combination Baby Cow Animation, Bigfatstudio and Smiley Guy Studios, Toronto.

The deal for Alice's Diary includes 52 four-minute episodes focusing on Alice, a little girl trying to understand the world through her art. The show, currently in production, is aimed at high school boys and girls. It will air on the Portuguese public service broadcaster, Radio e Televisão Portuguesa (RTP), on the Spanish national broadcaster RTVE and Disney Junior in Latin America.

Alice's Diary offers a magical insight into the individual thoughts of Alice, the adorable, quirky and imaginative six-year-old protagonist, as she invites viewers into her beautifully illustrated diary. Alice's wonder, curiosity and unique worldview are shared with the audience through her offbeat, fun and engaging conversations with her mother, Ana. As Alice speaks, she draws and her images of her come to life animated, adding a captivating and comical visualization of what she is thinking.

“Alice's unconventional and out-of-the-ordinary understanding of the world around her is delightfully recognizable to children around the world,” says Dominc Gardiner, CEO of Jetpack Distribution. “This show is a fun, warm and unique addition to our catalog. The curiosity in Alice is both fun and engaging for children and parents ".

The deal for Wussywat the Clumsy Cat includes 52 five-minute episodes. The hit show was originally commissioned by CBeebies and aired in multiple territories on broadcasters including CBeebies, JIMJAM, WeKids, SVT, Mediacorp, and RTVE. The show features a stellar cast of comic characters for kids ages two to four and follows the slapstick antics of a curious and clumsy cat always looking for new fun things to learn.

Narrated by famed broadcaster Liza Tarbuck, Wussywat the Clumsy Cat is set in "The Garden", where the hero encounters all sorts of interesting things to bump into and fall into, with his friends, Duckadile, Oggy, Ird and Ortus, who gently guide him to each new clumsy discovery, infusing him with the values of friendship and teamwork.

“With a proven track record, Wussywat is a well-regarded and established show that we are just as happy to offer to a new audience,” adds Gardiner. “The feline hero's awkwardness is adorable and fun, and the show expresses some great values. We are thrilled to introduce both to MIPTV buyers ”.
