Paris-based international kids’ content producer Cottonwood Media and leading Israeli production house Ananey Studios, a Paramount company, have joined forces to co-produce the brand new CGI animated bridge kids’ series, Fairy Express. Nick Jr. Israel has commissioned the show.
Based on an original concept by Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated creator and director Gili Dolev (Zack and Quack, Nella the Princess Knight, Powerbirds) and co-creator & Head of Kids and
Family, Ananey Studios, Shirley Oran (Craft Party, Hahamama). The series is executive produced by Dolev and Oran, and produced by Cottonwood Media’s David Michel, Cécile Lauritano and Zoé Carrera Allaix.
“This marks a first time partnership with Ananey, and it’s great to be collaborating on this enchanting production with such an inspiring creative team,” said the Cottonwood team. “Fairy Express is one of those exquisite projects that will make kids smile, laugh and pretty much give them a hug from the inside out.”
Fairy Express (52 x 11’) is a CGI animated series that targets four- to six-year olds. Three entrepreneurial fairies named Charm, Pixie and Wonder have invented a special App called Fairy Express to grant kids their wishes — an instant 21st Century magical service for those in need. Each day, the fairies fly to the charming coastal town of Wishington, where kids are eagerly waiting for them to grant their wish. Whether it’s a young dog walker who lost all 10 dogs under his care, or a girl whose birthday invites were sent for the wrong day, thesolution is only a magic spell away! Or five of them, when the first spell backfires. But even when things go wrong, everyone knows that a little mess is all part of the magic.
“We’re so happy to be partnering with our talented friends at Cottonwood Media on this sweet and charming new show and can’t wait to sprinkle magic on viewers everywhere,” commented Hila Pachter, Head of International Relations, Ananey Studios.
Federation Kids & Family, of which Cottonwood Media is a subsidiary, will be handling worldwide distribution (outside of Israel) and will present the series to buyers for the first time at the upcoming MIPCOM.
