Small Potatoes, a new short-form animated series from Little Airplane Productions, has been pre-sold to broadcasters in Europe, Australia and Canada.
The series is set to air first in summer 2011 on the CBeebies outlet in the United Kingdom and also will air on NRK in Norway, SVT in Sweden, ABC in Australia and TVO and Knowledge in Canada.
The series’ 26 three-minute episodes feature four musical potatoes, and each segment shows them playing in a different musical genre from rock to jazz, reggae, ska and hip-hop.
“The Small Potatoes are The Beatles of the fresh produce aisle,” said Josh Selig, founder and president of Little Airplane Productions. “Their music has universal appeal and can be enjoyed by parents and children alike. I have never loved one of our shows as much as I love this one.”
Musical contributors to the series include Jerry Bock, who won a Tony Awards for bst musical and best composer and lyricist for the classic production Fiddler on the Roof.
