BBC Worldwide’s stop-motion preschool series, Little Robots, is graduating from its 10-minute time slot to a full half-hour spot in Cartoon Network’s Tickle U block. Recently picked by Fox Entertainment for home video distribution, the show is currently in its fourth season with 13 new episodes now in production.
Little Robots follows the animated adventures of Tiny and his diminutive android friends. The series is created by Create TV & Film, part of recently formed U.K. media and rights owner Create Media Ventures Ltd., and produced by award-winning animation house Cosgrove Hall Films.
The increased presence of Little Robots on Cartoon Network is part of BBC Worldwide’s overall strategy to grow its children’s business in North America. Playmates recently came aboard as master toy licensee and announcements regarding a publishing partner are expected in the near future.
Little Robots premiered on Cartoon Network in the U.S. last year and can be seen in more than 87 million U.S. homes. The program has also been sold in more than 80 countries worldwide.
