London-based Jetpack Distribution has acquired nearly-global rights to Mimi’s World (40 x 11 minutes), and will sell the preschool series everywhere except the UK.
The mixed-media show premiered there earlier this year on Channel 5′s Milkshake! block. Mimi’s World features a live-action adult who cares for a group of children in her top-floor apartment. She routinely seeks advice from CG-animated characters like wise African elephant Mama Tembo and friendly Chinese unicorn Youyou. And occasionally, Mimi and the kids transport themselves through magic portals to meet other 2D-animated characters.
