After seeing both preschool properties at MIPTV 2005 in April, Amberwood Ent. has acquired rights to produce Rob the Robot and Debra the Zebra from Australia’s Mini Studios.
Created by Melbourne-based designer John Magart, Rob the Robot will promote problem solving skills and the value of cooperation as it helps kids explore the world of colors, numbers and shapes. Meanwhile, diversity is the order of the day with Debra the Zebra, a show about a Zebra whose stripes go the wrong way. Created by Steve and Lou Lou Kearney, the series is designed to teach children that being different can be a good thing and that it’s not what’s on the outside that counts. Debra was developed with the assistance of the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, the Australian Film Commission and Film Victoria.
