French distributor PGS Entertainment has agreed to represent Studio Hari’s animated series The Gees worldwide in the broadcasting, video, licensing and merchandising categories.
The series, comprised of 52 three-minute episodes, stars extraterrestrial visitors whose enthusiasm for and curiosity about the Earth are matched only by their clumsiness and bad timing.
PGS will launch The Gees to the international marketplace at MIP-TV 2010. The Gees already is backed by France’s Gulli, who are co-producers, and is generating worldwide interest prior to delivery in fall 2010.
‘The Gees follows the same comedic genius as Studio Hari’s is now known for, and we are looking forward to showing the first episodes to our worldwide broadcast clients at MIP-TV,’ said Philippe Soutter, managing director of PGS.
“We are delighted to have our new series joining PGS Entertainment’s catalogue,’ said Josselin Charier and Antoine Rodelet, co-presidents of Studio Hari, in a statement. ‘The company has a proven track record in managing some of the leading independent kids and family brands worldwide. This is the first step in our collaboration with Philippe and his team, and a relationship we look forward to expanding on with future projects.’
