FOOTHILL’S BOY AND THE DINOSAUR AMONG MIPJUNIOR’S TOP 3

Animation series produced by 1461 Limited and animation house Studio Lidell was secured by several broadcasters worldwide, anticipating a successful international launch in April 2014. US distributor Foothill Entertainment announced it has "major pre-sales and pre-production planning" underway for animation series Boy and the Dinosaur. Produced by 1461 Limited and renowned animation house Studio Liddell, the series was the 3rd most viewed show at MIPJunior. Since the formal launch of international sales at MIPJunior, Foothill has secured pre-sales to several significant broadcasters in major territories, with announcements to be made shortly. In addition, Foothill is looking to cement final pre-sales in the wake of a 360-degree advertising and marketing campaign for the series. "What began as a short student film that premiered at MIPJunior several years ago, has blossomed into something incredible," Jo Kavanagh-Payne, president of Foothill, said. Delivery of the series is set for April 2014. Boy and the Dinosaur will be written, animated, composed and produced by a multi-BAFTA award-winning UK team, including director Paul Couvela (Bob the Builder, Chuggington), producer David Bunting (Shaun the Sheep, The Tiger Movie) and writer Davey Moore (Octanauts, Thomas & Friends, Rastamouse).
