Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc.'s Thunderbird Distribution has inked multiple sales for innovative children's series BooSnoo!, a Sky Kids Original produced by Visionality Media and Mackinnon & Saunders, and Windy Isle Entertainment's adorable live-action preschool series Mittens & Pants.

BooSnoo! (41 episodes by seven minutes) and its star, the little red ball, are rolling into nine more territories, in addition to the series' home on commissioning broadcaster Sky Kids in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In the United States, NBCU's Peacock, FOX's Tubi and Future Today's HappyKids, have taken season 1 of the series for their platforms. International Broadcasters picking up BooSnoo! include DR Denmark (season 1), EBS South Korea (seasons 1 and 2), NRK Norway (seasons 1 and 2), PCCW/NOW Hong Kong (season 1), SVT Sweden (season 1), TVO Kids Canada (seasons 1 and 2) and Canadian French-language broadcaster Telequebec (seasons 1 and 2).

BooSnoo! is an incredibly inventive mixed-media, dialogue-free series that encourages both neurodiverse and neurotypical kids ages two and up to sit back, relax and follow the little red ball on an exciting yet calming adventure. The series features amazing landscapes that combine beautiful sights and sounds in every episode while exploring themes like wheels, rainbows and music. BooSnoo! was commissioned by Lucy Murphy, director of Sky Kids for Sky U.K. and Ireland. The commissioning editor for Sky is Ian France.

BooSnoo! has also earned a four-star review and an official Common Sense Selection for Families seal from U.S.-based non-profit Common Sense Media, whose ratings, research and resources reach approximately 150 million users worldwide and 1.2 million educators per year. Common Sense Selections are made in recognition of outstanding entertainment with an official seal for quality and impact.

CBC Kids and Sky Kids-commissioned Mittens & Pants (81 episodes by seven minutes) continues to grow its pawprint, finding more U.S. homes for its first season on Tubi and public library-affiliated streamer Kanopy, joining previously announced platforms Peacock, HappyKids, Kidoodle.TV and Sensical. International broadcasters joining the pack include beIN (MENA, season 1), NRK (Norway, seasons 1 and 2) and Alibaba's Youku (China, seasons 1 and 2). Additionally, China-based content distributor Beijing 24 Bridges will be selling both seasons of the series in the territory.

Discovery's Cartoonito, Cartoon Network and Boomerang channels (Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan), Hop! Channel (Israel), and DR Denmark.

"With this latest group of sales, BooSnoo! and Mittens & Pants continue to demonstrate the appeal to media platforms worldwide of bespoke, niche original series made with the highest production values," said Richard Goldsmith, Thunderbird president of global distribution and consumer products. "Each series is truly unique amongst the wide range of content available in the current market and they both have tremendous potential to become globally popular brands."
