On the heels of a successful digital-first launch garnering millions of views across YouTube and global OTT platforms, Yeti Farm original Sweet Tweets is now kicking it up a notch and has moved into long form story-based series. This will represent the studio’s first digital-first to long-format transition in their Yeti Kids division. The show will debut on Knowledge Network in early 2022.
Created by Jon Izen (Yam Roll) and written by Amy Brown (Top Wing, Dot.), Sweet Tweets is composed of short, sweet stories that help preschoolers navigate the little, but sometimes complex wiggles of life in an ever-anxious world. Yeti Farm recently greenlit 26 episodes and is in production with first deliveries slated for Fall 2021. Daniel Ingram (My Little Pony) is composing unique episodic songs that will serve as extensions of the brand on iTunes and other music platforms.
“We are elated to bring the popular songs and shorts to life with rich stories that will resonate with preschoolers dealing with today’s life wiggles,” said executive producer and Founder/CEO of Yeti Farm, Ashley Ramsay. “This calm, but bright and peppy series will surely delight both littles and their parents, which is something that is core to Yeti Farm’s growing kids and family original offerings.”
The move is representative of the studio’s resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic as well. “We have not really missed a beat since March 2020,” Ramsay added. “We are taking this from start to finish from inception all right here in British Columbia smack dab in the middle of the second wave with smiles all around.”
Founded in 2007, Yeti Farm Creative has built a stellar reputation as one of British Columbia’s premier 2D and CG animation and post production service studios. Yeti is also nurturing a growing roster of original IPs in both live action and animation. Operating smoothly during the COVID-19 pandemic remotely and out of its newly expanded 11,000 sq.ft. state of the art studio in Kelowna, the studio provides script to screen production services to leading global studios and brands including NBC Universal, Viacom, Amazon Prime, Wildbrain and Bento Box. Yeti recently invested in the growth of a new management team that will refocus on culture, retention and talent development as the studio transitions and continues to grow.
