Jarmies, a new preschool animated series from HIT Entertainment and Chello Zone, is set to premiere Jan. 4 on global outlet JimJam.
The series will premiere on JimJam’s Sky Italia feed, fully dubbed into Italian, and will be launched soon after on all of JimJam’s feeds in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
‘Jarmies is a welcome addition to JimJam’s rapidly expanding family,’ says Wayne Dunsford, JimJam’s general manager. ‘The series combines fun and discovery by incorporating basic English language learning, which compliments JimJam’s mission to help grown-ups contribute to their children’s development.’
Developed with assistance from the Institute of Education, University of London, Jarmies is an animated children’s series following a gang of little stars as they learn about their garden environment and each other. The series is also intermixed with live action footage featuring two young children named Tim and Holly.
Jarmies is the brainchild of David Bouchier, who was previously managing director of programming at Sky Italia and the original creator of JimJam.
Since its launch in 2006, JimJam has rapidly expanded across four feeds and into more than 50 territories, including Poland, Russia, Hungary, Switzerland, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, the Middle East, Singapore and Indonesia. It is available in ten languages and has a strong online presence with 11 localized websites via www.jimjam.tv.
