Pre-school series becomes co-prod
SLR Productions will partner with Singapore for the animated pre-school series Guess How Much I Love You.
Executive producer Suzanne Ryan will work with the CEO of Scrawl Studios, Seng Choon Meng, and receive support from the Media Development Authority of Singapore. It will be the first animated series co-produced by Australia and Singapore.
Guess How Much I Love You tells the adventures of the Nutbrown Hares and their friends. MDA CEO Christopher Chia said the production would leverage the success of the Sam McBratney/Anita Jeram children’s picture book it is based on.
“It is yet another excellent example of a Singapore production company tying up with leading international partners to bring content to global audiences,” he said.
The series has been picked up by Australia’s Playhouse Disney for first broadcast run, as well as by ABC TV. The 52 x 11 minute series has also been confirmed for broadcast in Sweden on SVT and Finland on YLE. Additionally the preschool series will be seen on French-Canadian channel, TFO, the Ontario channel, TFO and BC channel, Knowledge. The series will also be distributed on DVD in Australia by ABC Commercial.
