China Bridge Content, a New York-based content and consulting firm founded by 12-time Emmy Award-winning creator Josh Selig, has announced its latest project to be the animated children’s comedy Buffalo Nanny.
Currently in development with projected delivery in Q2 2024, Buffalo Nanny is a show about the joy, chaos and comedy of taking care of a fearless, agile and rambunctious baby girl. Aimed at children from preschool to age 7, the show was inspired by the personal experience of Selig and his wife, Chen Chen, raising their own baby daughter.
Synopsis: Bebop is a mischievous — and very fast — baby who loves to explore and get involved in anything and everything. Her devoted caregiver, a gentle water buffalo named Otis, has his hooves full trying to keep her safe and out of trouble! Each day, Otis picks up Bebop from her family’s home and they head off to the beach, a museum or a playdate… where things soon spin out of control due to Bebop’s free-spirited nature.
Once, Otis took Bebop to a local farm where she climbed onto the back of an ostrich and led a stampede of sheep, goats and chickens through the middle of town! Another time, Otis took Bebop to watch a space launch and Bebop managed to crawl into the rocket and blast off to Saturn! Whatever happens, Otis always manages to corral Bebop and bring her safely back home.
“In creating this new comedy, Chen and I drew from our own personal experiences raising our baby daughter. We have included non-stop physical comedy in each and every scene which we believe is the absolute key to making a preschool comedy that can succeed in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas,” said Selig, Founder & President of China Bridge Content.
Created by Chen Chen (Peaches & Creaminal, Luo Bao Bei) and Selig (Wonder Pets! Small Potatoes), Buffalo Nanny was designed in Kingston, Jamaica by Gary and Kenny Plummer (Peaches & Creaminal). The theme song was written and performed by David McWane of ska-punk band Big D and the Kids Table. The show features an educational curriculum with a focus on “First Times” and “Community.”
China Bridge is actively looking for co-producers, distributors and broadcasters to work with on the series.
