Little Airplane Productions’ preschool series 3rd and Bird! is landing at last in the United States, thanks to a deal in which BBC Worldwide has sold rights to Disney Channel.
The series, which New York-based Little Airplane co-produces with BBC’s CBeebies channel, will debut on Disney Channel’s Playhouse Disney block in early 2011.
3rd and Bird! is a song-filled series produced with photo-puppetry animation and aimed at kids ages 3-5. It premiered in the United Kingdom last year and a second season for the series is under discussion.
