Breakthrough Ent. will premiere two new animated series at MIPCOM in Cannes next week. International buyers will have the opportunity to check out the adult-oriented comedy Producing Parker, as well as the children’s show Fishtronaut. Located at booth # 00.01, the company will also debut the live-action kids’ show Think Big, which focuses on young inventors.
Producing Parker (13×30) is described as an edgy send-up of daytime talk shows. Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) provides the voice of Dee, the title character’s self-absorbed, high-maintenance boss and host of The Dee Show, a talk show that sells viewers the myth of having it all. In each episode, Parker has to manage her boss’s delicate ego with the daily behind-the-scenes antics of live TV. The show is co-produced by Breakthrough Animation and Philippine Animation Studio, in association with Canwest Media.
Fishtronaut (52×11 or 26×30) is an animated, adventure series revolving around Fishtronaut, a secret agent fish as he goes on slimy, furry and gooey adventures with his gal pal, Marina, and Zeek, a tween-age monkey. Kids will be encouraged to engage interactively by tapping and clapping along with the colorful characters. Aimed at kids 4-7, the series explores the world’s many mysteries above and below the water. It’s produced by the creative team at Brazil’s TV PinGuim in association with Discovery Kids, and is available in HD.
