The Hub has added the hit animated preschool series Animal Mechanicals to its slate.
The network, a new joint venture between toymaker Hasbro and Discovery Communications, picked up the rights to the 55 x 11 min. series from Decode Enterprises.
Animal Mechanicals is produced by Halifax Films in Canada under commission from the CBC. The Hub is set to launch on Oct. 10.
Josh Scherba, SVP Distribution of DECODE Enterprises said:
‘Animal Mechanicals has received a fantastic response from kids all over the globe, and we’re sure it will prove no exception on The Hub,’ says Josh Scherba, senior VP of distribution for Decode. ‘We’re very pleased to sign a deal which will see Animal Mechanicals launch as part of this brand new, much anticipated channel.’
