Universal Pictures International Entertainment has picked up the environmentally-conscious preschool series Dive Olly Dive! for release on DVD in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, South Africa, Brazil and other selected territories. The CG show from Taffy Ent. and Mike Young Prods. will hit retail in those areas in 2009.
Created by Andrew and Ian Ross Dive Olly Dive! follows the underwater escapades of Olly and Beth, two young research submarines-in-training who live in a deep-sea research center known as SURF: the Special Underwater Research Facility. Together, they experience the joys and challenges of life in their underwater world, much in the same way that preschoolers explore life in their world.
Dive Olly Dive! is a co-production of Mike Young Prods. Ltd (MYP), Flying Bark Prods. of Australia, KI.KA, ARD of Germany, Telegael of Ireland and GDC. Produced with the support of the MEDIA Plus Programme of the European Community, the show won the 2008 Parents’ Choice Award and Hugo Television Award (Certificate of Merit), in addition to being nominated for an Emmy Award and the Prix Jeunesse and Best Animated Series awards at the 2008 Annecy Int’l Festival of Animated Film.
