'Codename X'

UK-based kids’ content and feature film distributor, The Media Pioneers, has acquired the global distribution rights (excluding Singapore, Great China and Korea) for the 2D anime series Codename X (26 x 13’), produced by SIDE9.

The project has been sold to broadcasters and streaming platforms, including Junior Channel in Israel; MBC in MENA; SVOD language learning platform Lingopie in Europe; and Ceska Televise in the Czech Republic.

“When I first saw the poster, I knew that Codename X was exactly what we were looking for,” said Maggie Liang, managing director of The Media Pioneers. “I absolutely love the story and it’s the perfect fit for kids aged 6 and up as well as tweens.  They will be hooked from one episode to the next without ever pressing the pause or exit button."

Codename X follows Blue, a boy who unexpectedly time travels back to the past when his mother Violet was just 11 years old.  Blue discovers she is a senior officer at M.S.G. and one of the world’s top spies. Together, they tackle seemingly impossible missions, but can they change the future?

The Media Pioneers has also developed the English version of Codename X, as well as introduced short recap clips at the start of each episode to help viewers catch up on previous storylines.
