Kids First Distribution has inked a number of deals across Europe and Latin America for the original 3D animated series, based on Sanrio’s iconic franchise; commissioned by Amazon Kids+, the show is produced by Watch Next, Monello and Maga Animation Studio.
The series stars Hello Kitty in the tight-knit community of Cherry Town. Kitty will stop at nothing to help friends in need. In each episode she uses the power of her magical bow to activate an amazing transformation, changing her outfit to be a brave explorer, a top-notch chef, or a sensational pop star all to help her pals overcome silly setbacks.
Monello and Watch Next have signed Canal+ and M6 for distribution in France and the series has also been picked up by RAI in Italy via a deal with Maga Animation Studio. Kids First has signed pre-sale agreements for the show with Tiny Pop in the UK, Discovery Kids for Latin America, RTS for Switzerland, and Hop for Israel.
“Hello Kitty is a world-famous brand loved by kids and their parents across generations,” said Audrey Brugère, Head of kids and foreign series at CANAL+. “Watch Next Media and Monello Productions have successfully respected the DNA of this pop culture icon while creating modern, creative, and fun new graphics and stories. We are very excited to be part of this ambitious show!”
Hello Kitty: Super Style is currently in production and will launch in late 2022.
