PUPPIES LEAD THE WAY FOR FOOTHILL AT MIPCOM

(Santa Barbara, CA - August, 2007): Playfully bounding its way into the catalogue for MIPCOM 2007, Foothill Entertainment, Inc. will be bringing to Cannes a unique new series for the preschool audience, Puppy Plays. This adorable new series is designed to introduce classical music to children and their families in short musical vignettes, where real live puppies discover the world around them and grow up right before your eyes.

Executive produced by Steve Waterman, who was also an executive producer on feature films Casper and Stuart Little I & II, Puppy Plays is an entertaining and educational program that teaches children timeless lessons by using lovable puppies and exposing them to an exciting score composed of classical music from Mozart, Schubert, Tchaikovsky and other masters.

"This series is incredibly simple but unique as it appeals to both children and adults alike," says Jo Kavanagh-Payne, President of Foothill. "Everyone loves puppies and we are delighted to be representing such an original series, which subtly teaches important fundamental life lessons while also bringing families together."

HBO Family will be airing the series in the United States followed by a DVD release. The series will consist of 13 specials for HBO Family, all of which will both educate and amuse young children. A treat for the entire family, Puppy Plays is certain to be a warm and fuzzy addition to any viewing schedule.

Founded in September 2000 by former DIC Entertainment executive vice president of business and legal affairs, Gregory Payne and Jo Kavanagh-Payne, former Link Television Entertainment, Inc senior vice president of U.S. operations, Foothill specializes in the co-development and distribution of children's and family entertainment programming. Their Company is based in Santa Barbara, California.
