Mondo TV Group has signed a co-production agreement for the new children’s animated series Lola on Board, joining production partners TILE, Digitalcomoedia (both in Italy) and Toonzstation Mocca Studio (India).
TILE is led by Nicola Barile, an award-winning cartoon and documentary maker. Digitalcomoedia is a content production company for entertainment and industry which is establishing a global reputation for creating digital experiences. Toonzstation Mocca Studio creates entertainment content for various media and consumer platforms, with a strong focus on kids and families.
Lola on Board, a 3D CGI series of 26 x 7′ aimed at three- to-six-year olds, is currently well into the production phase. The first season will be available from summer 2024. The show will be distributed internationally by Mondo TV Group, Mondo TV Studios (which is now part of the Spanish group Squirrel Media), and Toonzstation for their respective territories.
The series follows the adventures of Lola, a little girl who spends part of her summer holiday with her grandmother Agata on the cruise ship Eloise. The ship’s crew, a friendly but slightly eccentric bunch, all love the resourceful, cheeky Lola, but she also has three very special friends: a seagull, a little monkey and a baby dolphin — and she can talk to them! While on the Eloise, Lola has fun adventures, discovers the world and learns about the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it.
The show highlights diversity and inclusion as well as sensitivity to issues of environmental sustainability.
“One little girl, seven seas, one thousand adventures! That’s what Lola on Board offers its young audience — and with the help of three highly regarded companies in their field we plan to bring to screens around the world a truly innovative, entertaining and educational show that is unlike any other,” said Mondo TV CEO Matteo Corradi.
