Kids entertainment specialist Cake has teamed up with Annie Mumolo and Ariane Price on Lulu and The Help You Crew, a CG-animated series originally developed with Reel FX Animation.
Targeting 3 to 5-year-olds, the 52 x 11 minute episodic was created by Annie Mumolo, writer of blockbuster feature Bridesmaids and writer and star of instant cult classic Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar and Ariane Price, senior member of the famed Groundlings sketch and improv comedy theatre. Working closely with Annie and Ariane, Cake is leading development and production with Reel FX Animation as exec producers, and will distribute the series internationally.
The preschool show follows the song-filled adventures of Lulu, an extraordinary eight-year-old girl who lives in the multicultural melting-pot of Vista Feliz with her Argentinian grandmother Abuelita and an eccentric, hilarious and perfectly imperfect crew of rescued pets— a cat, chameleon, turtle and puppy. Together, they help the town’s pets and young animals overcome everyday childhood challenges.
Cake CEO Ed Galton noted, “Lulu and The Help You Crew is a show that we feel perfectly meets the needs of our time. Ariane and Annie are stars on the improv scene and so we are very excited about what that can bring to younger audiences.”
Creators Annie Mumolo and Ariane Price added “As mothers, pet rescuers and comedians we are excited to share this heart felt project that will have both kids and their parents laughing and learning.”
