Banijay Kids & Family today announces a new animation, Super Happy Magic Forest, produced by Tiger Aspect Kids & Family with Movimenti Production (both Banijay Kids & Family companies). A broadcast collaboration with BBC and Rai Kids, the series is based on the popular picture books of the same name by Matty Long. A pre-sale has also been secured with Canal+.
First published by Oxford University Press in 2015, Super Happy Magic Forest is a comedy quest adventure series featuring five heroes, brought together by their mutual love of questing, picnics and frolicking. Led by the outgoing and courageous faun, Hoofius; Blossom (unicorn), Herbert (gnome), Twinkle (fairy) and Trevor (mushroom) battle villains, share journeys, and have a jolly good time along the way as they learn how to be true heroes and how to quest sensibly.
The 52 11 minutes series will bring to life the world created in the books, in a colourful 2D animation for 7+ years. Exec Producers are Tiger Aspect Kids & Family's MD Tom Beattie (Mr Bean: The Animated Series) and Jeff Swampy' Marsh (Phineas and Ferb).
Tom Beattie, MD, Tiger Aspect Kids and Family says: I have been on my own long quest to bring this project to screen and I'm Super Happy that we can now frolic into the magic forest and bring Matty's beautiful, funny world to life.
Giorgio Scorza, CEO, Movimenti Production says: We all love the Super Happy Magic Forest books and I'm thrilled to start this production alongside Tiger Aspect Kids & Family. I really can't wait to bring all the fun of these adventures to their audience.
Beno t Di Sabatino, Banijay Kids & Family CEO says: Tiger Aspect Kids & Family and Movimenti Production are a powerful duo of producers and a brilliant example of the combined creative talents within our team. We are very proud that the BBC and Rai Kids have chosen Super Happy Magic Forestas a bridge between the international kids content community.
Sarah Muller, Head of BBC Children's Commissioning 7+ says:: Super Happy Magic Forest is full of joy and I loved it from the first moment I saw it. I just know our audience will feel the same too.
Luca Milano, MD, Rai Kids says: Super Happy Magic Forest is going to bring fun and fantasy. We look forward to welcoming this new co-production with BBC, Movimenti Production and Tiger Aspect Kids & Family on Rai Yoyo TV.
Matty Long, author and illustrator of the book series says: I am beyond excited that the five heroes of the Super Happy Magic Forest books are making the journey from page to screen. What started as me doodling in a sketchbook will become a whole series of animated adventures and I cannot wait to share them with everyone.
